Summary: From a English Tea Drinker
Comment: Well, I can honestly say this book has been a God send for me. I knew absolutely nothing about Coffee before this book and drank mostly instant. I got a taste for "real" coffee by frequenting the odd Coffee House with friends. I wanted to know how I could make a delicious drink like those I purchased. Thanks to this book - I now can! This is a very interesting read and takes the reader right through from growing the beans to serving. I have since purchased an Expresso machine and my friends LOVE to have coffee at my house. I am still learning and I have received other tips to improve my brew from other books but I owe my initial success to this book. GREAT for an absolute beginner and I suspect interesting to the more experienced. Thanks Corby! I'm no longer Tea Total :-)

Summary: A good plug for La Minita, otherwise worthless
Comment: Wow, a page-filling 5.5-by-5.5 photograph of a Krups propeller mill dominates page 74. Wait, there's more: on page 116 you'll find an equally imposing photograph of a Krups steam-operated coffee maker. (There's no need for a pump, it's so clever.)

This book, essentially worthless to those interested in espresso, is completely oblivious to some famous ways of making coffee. There is no mention of café cubano and there is no mention of the traditional ways to prepare the famous Hungarian dupla....

Summary: Great book but a question
Comment: My husband and I both enjoyed reading Joy of Coffee, and the suggestions for improving our coffee life were interesting and helpful. Kummer's prose makes us smile, but I tried making his recipe for mocha brownies and found them, well, awful--thin and sticky little bars with ground coffee residue on top. I wondered if something was incorrect about the directions, proportions or the ingredients in the recipe. I'd love a response if anyone knows. Thanks.
