Professional Barista’s Handbook:

An Expert Guide to Preparing Espresso, Coffee, and Tea

by Scott Rao

FROM THE AUTHOR: When I began in the coffee business fourteen years ago, I read every book I could find about coffee. After reading all of those books, however, I felt as if I hadn t learned much about how to make great coffee. My coffee library was chock-full of colorful descriptions of brewing styles, growing regions, and recipes, with a few almost-unreadable scientific books mixed in. I would have traded in all of those books for one serious, practical book with relevant information about making great coffee in a café. Fourteen years later, I still haven t found that book. I know many other professionals as well as some obsessive nonprofessionals would like to find that same book I ve been looking for. This book is my attempt to give it to them.
