The world atlas of coffee - book by james hoffmann

Discover The World Atlas of Coffee by James Hoffmann — the essential guide for every coffee lover. This beautifully illustrated book explores coffee from bean to brew, covering growing regions, roasting, brewing methods and flavour profiles across the globe. Written by the award-winning barista and YouTube expert James Hoffmann, it’s an inspiring reference for both beginners and professionals alike.

Coffee has never been better, or more interesting, than it is today. Coffee producers have access to more varieties and techniques than ever before and we, as consumers, can share in that expertise to make sure the coffee we drink is the best we can find. Where coffee comes from, how it was harvested, the roasting process and the water used to make the brew are just a few of the factors that influence the taste of what we drink. Champion barista and coffee expert James Hoffmann examines these key factors, looking at varieties of coffee, the influence of terroir, how it is harvested and processed, the roasting methods used, through to the way in which the beans are brewed.

Country by country – from Bolivia to Zambia – the author James Hoffmann identifies key characteristics and the methods that determine the quality of that country’s output. Along the way we learn about everything from the development of the espresso machine, to why strength guides on supermarket coffee are really not good news. This is the first book to chart the coffee production of over 35 countries, encompassing knowledge never previously published outside the coffee industry.
