We all expect to be able to buy an excellent cup of coffee from the many brilliant coffee shops available. But what about the coffee we make at home? Shouldn't that be just as good?
Coffee guru James Hoffmann runs Square Mile Coffee, as well as creating extremely informative, and popular, kit and coffee reviews for his YouTube and Instagram channels. In his latest book he demonstrates everything you need to know to make consistently excellent coffee at home, including: what kit is worth buying, and what isn't; how to grind coffee; the basics of brewing for all major equipment (cafetiere, aeropress, stovetop etc); understanding coffee drinks, from the cortado to latte; the perfect espresso; and taking it to the next level - home roasting.
Our research indicates that this deal is $7 less (77.9% savings) than the next best available price from a reputable merchant with prices starting from $8.99 at the time of this post.

Seconded, I'll pitch the $2 just to support him, I watched a ton of his videos when I first got an espresso machine. Super helpful stuff. He's very informative without being patronizing.

option 1
step 1, buy good coffee, at a roastery. the terrible coffee at amazon tastes decades old
step 2, buy a burr grinder, measure 28g to grind
step 3, buy a mochamaster, hit the switch to half pot
step 4, buy #4 paper cones and brew coffee with a 16.9oz bottle water
option 2
buy any size cup for a dollar at McDonalds cuz dis shit is very expensive to make right
It does. It gives multiple examples using different common pourover products (V60, Chemex, etc.)
This thread isn't incorrect in that this doesn't NEED to be a book. But it's not a bad book. It's short and not too wordy. I learned a lot from it, and it's good to have for a quick reference. It's an easy $2 buy.
nescafe pod at 75cents per pod will cost you thousand dollars that you could spend on espresso machine, but it does have convenience to just throw away pods and not care about anything

Hardcover is nice, a thorough explanation of different coffee types, techniques, and terminology. Definitely a good read for a coffee afficionado without being pretentious or overly long. He covers everything from basics to ridiculous things to grab that last 5%, and will fully admit when something isn't worth the price or effort (but you could do it). Makes a good gift.
