The Curious Barista's Guide to Coffee Review: Perfect book to take your relationship with coffee to the next level! - I recently fell in love with Coffee. It started with buying an Aeropress, evolved into trying some speciality coffee, and resulted in me realizing that there's truly more to coffee than running hot water over some crushed up beans for a solid hit of caffeine. While some would say that Coffee and I are still in the youthful infatuation stage, since we've only known each other for about 9 months now, I say that I'm fully committed to this relationship and want to take the next step of understanding where Coffee comes from, why it tastes the way that it does, and how can I continue to make it better. This book encompasses all of these aspects - and more - in brilliantly illustrated and detailed chapters that cover everything from how the coffee is grown to why and how it yields a cup of golden coffee. Stephenson provides a deep yet understandable level of detail when it comes to things like describing the phase changes a coffee bean goes through when it is roasted. The level of detail is not too scientific, but not too cursory either. Just the right amount for a layman-turn-barista like myself. To top it all off, roughly the final quarter of the book is dedicated to all sorts of different recipes with coffee, a few of which I've tried, but all of which sound amazing. Combining understandable education with gorgeously printed pages make this book one of the best options for the coffee lover who wants to take his relationship (with Coffee) to the next level. Review: I would also like to add that the book itself was impressive - I agree with the 5 star ratings of the other two reviewers. I would also like to add that the book itself was impressive. It wasn't inexpensive, but the thick, sepia-colored pages were easy on the eye and the whole thing is made to a high standard. Included are many pictures and attractive copies of works of art that involve coffee culture. It's a very nice book that is well worth the price. As for content, I learned a lot about coffee, which was the goal. The book even includes a section on coffee history, which was enjoyable to learn about. I'm about to embark on a new journey. I'll be making my own espresso at home with a manual lever machine I haven't even taken delivery of yet, and have much to learn. Having this book in my corner should prove extremely helpful. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #103,842 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #33 in Coffee & Tea (Books) #387 in Cooking Education & Reference | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,004 Reviews | ## Images ![The Curious Barista's Guide to Coffee - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71dZr5hYWqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect book to take your relationship with coffee to the next level! *by J***. on April 28, 2016* I recently fell in love with Coffee.

The whole family wanted it!! It's been the sisterhood of the traveling pants of books the way we pass it around. I think it makes a great decoration piece on a coffee table or at a coffee bar. There's a lot of good, interesting information. It's also nice to use as a reference guide. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ryland, Peters & Small Ltd The Curious Barista'S Guide To Coffee - The World Atlas Of Coffee: From Beans To Brewing - Coffees Explored, Explained And Enjoyed - How to make the best coffee at home --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/148155821-the-curious-baristas-guide-to-coffee](https://www.desertcart.it/products/148155821-the-curious-baristas-guide-to-coffee) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
