Description
Reading Time: < 1 minuteThe Craft and Science of Coffee follow the coffee plant from its origins in East Africa to its current role as a global product that influences millions of lives through sustainable development, economics, and consumer desire.
For most, coffee is a beloved beverage. However, for some, it is also an object of scientific study, and for others, it is approached as a craft, both building on skills and experience. By combining the research and insights of the scientific community and the expertise of the craftspeople, this unique book brings readers into a sustained and inclusive conversation, one where academic and industrial thought leaders, coffee farmers, and baristas are quoted, each informing and enriching each other.
This unusual approach guides the reader on a journey from coffee farmer to roaster, market analyst to barista, in a style that is both rigorous and experience-based, universally relevant, and personally engaging. From on-farming processes to consumer benefits, the reader is given a deeper appreciation and understanding of coffee’s complexity and is invited to form their own educated opinions on the ever-changing situation, including potential routes to further shape the coffee future in a responsible manner.

Essentially a textbook review over all facets of the coffee industry, from agronomy to brewing, including economics and sociology. Incredibly detailed, and includes all references for further research.

This book is amazing! The level of knowledge shared in its pages, chapter after chapter, can not be found in any other book on the topic… and I searched 🙂

Incredibly thorough book of coffee: from agricultural practices to the evolutionary background of the plant to roasting, cupping, and brewing.I would like to suggest that the editor begin volume 2! I’m not done reading this book, but since coffee is always changing and there’s always so much more to know, by the time I’m reading this one, I’ll be ready for more.
