Books on coffee

[maria]

Hey guys! It's me again and I'd like to post something here since no one expressed willingness yet. Well, I'm joking of course . I understand perfectly that the forum is new and wanted to ask you what books have you read on coffee? If you ever read I know it's not obligatory reading some literature about coffee to be able to prepare a cup of aromatic beverage, still it can sometimes help you choose the right type of coffee, the devices to use and many others. Please share any information with us since I haven't read anything about this magnificent drink and would like to hear your opinions about this matter. Thanks in advance

There is a nice book I could recommend - The Coffee Companion: A Connoisseur's Guide.
Here's a good deal on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/The-Coffee-Companion-A-Connoisseurs-Guide_W0QQitemZ230407920311QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Nonfiction_Book?hash=item35a561dab7#ht_1385wt_940
Hope this helps..

Home Coffee Roasting: Romance and Revival by Kenneth Davids.

If you roast coffee, or are just thinking about it, you will find this book very useful. In fact, it works as both an entertaining start-to-finish read, and as a continued reference source! Even if you have no intentions of ever roasting, this title will help you understand quality coffee, the roast process, the origin countries, tasting coffee ...and you will be able to make better coffee purchases because of it!

The Professional Barista's Handbook is a very efficient training manual for espresso, and features some great information on brewing too (plus a couple pages on tea ... why?) I was impressed with how concise it is, and how useful it will be for the home enthusiast.

Best of all, it cuts to the chase and shows the core methods for achieving great extraction without making you read too much theory. It also avoids being too specific in showing just one technique. In other words, read this book and over time you surely will develop your own variations. That's the way it should be.

Instead of reading pocket books and novels, I read interesting books about coffee. My friends thought that I'm in coffee business because I've got so many coffee books at home. Allow me to share the titles of my top 3 coffee reading resources. If you have time, grab a copy of these books. You'll learn lots of techniques in making a flavorful coffee for your hubby.

Coffee: A Dark History by Antony Wild - that's an interesting take on coffee, I think!
"Presents a history of coffee, describing its origins in fifteenth-century East Africa, its rise as an imperial consumer product, and the current economic plight of today's coffee-producing countries."

Well, I've read the history of coffee, some general rules about preparing it, and started reading a coffee guide book once but it was too complicated for a coffee novice like me, so I quit. Let the experts do their job.
