I really want to learn more about coffee, but I think the web is too large and therefore confusing. So I have decided to start with a good book. Which books (preferably below 20 USD) can you recommend? Just a good and informative beginner guide to espresso and coffee in general?

  • Hi @JohanL, could you please take a look at https://coffee.stackexchange.com/questions/2772/which-books-do-you-recommend-to-read-for-people-who-are-interested-in-coffee ? A slightly different but in essence the same question. You can always search keywords in the search box. – MTSan Sep 06 '18 at 15:31

I recommend Hoffman's "The World Atlas of Coffee." He gives you history, tells you about different methods of brewing, roasting, and teaches about growing and processing as well. A very well rounded introduction.

The World Atlas of Coffee

So far as a book focussed more on brewing, I recommend Rao's "The Professional Barista's Handbook." His blog (also linked below) is also a tremendous source.
