HOW TO MAKE THE BEST COFFEE

One of the best coffee books I’ve read. James Hoffmann explains coffee in a simple, practical, and engaging way. I learned a lot about brewing, grinders, beans, and extraction, and it has genuinely improved my coffee-making at home. I enjoyed it so much that I purchased both the Kindle and hardcover versions. Highly recommended for anyone who loves coffee and wants to make better coffee at home.

James Hoffman has once again devlivered an engaging, engrossing and beautiful compensium of essential coffee facts, tips and recipes for the coffee dilettante and undoubtedly the connoisseurs as well. If you love coffee or even have a passing interest in improving your cup of coffee this is a good buy. Its easily approachable and has wonderful pictures. The only thing it lacks is the smell of freshly roasted coffee.

James Hoffman is brilliant in explaining the fine nuances of understanding coffee in very easy manner Must read for anyone who is serious about his cup of coffee

Book itself is great content wise but the corners were a little damaged upon delivery.

I am a fan of James Hoffman and follow him on his youtube channel. Having read his previous book which was fantastic, this book is more or less a copy paste with a few tweaks here and there. The most annoying thing which is typical of James that all his discussions are inconclusive, lacking even his personal suggestions. The pictures in the book are unlabelled and are shot casually which shows poor publishing. I would recommend reading his book The World Atlas of Coffee but this one isnt too great

The book is so good but it was sent in the most terrible packaging that it came in such a terrible condition. A hard cover book was wrapped in a polythene bag. You can’t be serious ?!?

I came across James' channel on YouTube and was immediately hooked. So i quickly looked up his book because I wanted to learn more about coffee. As a coffee newbie I find the book very insightful but still easy to read. James tries to explain the different facettes of coffee as simply as possible so everyone can understand why they are important without getting overly complicated and pretentious. I think he reached his goal by making me much more interested in the making of this lovely beverage. Moreover the book looks and feels really nice and is a must-have for every coffee table (no pun intended). Also, the value you get for the small price is insane. Highly recommend!

Se vuoi imparare da uno dei maggiori esperti sul caffè mondiale, questo libro fa per te. Dettagliato, molto metodi trattati e una sezione molto approfondita sul caffè con espresso. Perfetto per guardare il mondo del caffè con altri occhi.

How To Make The Best Coffee At Home is a great little book for anyone who truly loves coffee and enjoys the process as much as the final cup. It’s easy to read, not overly technical, and makes improving your coffee at home feel fun rather than complicated. The tips are practical and approachable, with lots of small insights that actually make a difference in everyday brewing. I gave this book as a gift alongside a few coffee essentials, and it felt like the perfect companion to them. It adds context and inspiration—helping turn good tools and beans into great coffee. As a bonus, it’s also just really cute on a bookshelf, so it feels as much like a coffee-lover’s keepsake as it does a useful guide. It’s the kind of book you can flip through, learn something new each time, and put into practice the very next morning.

Muito bom e agradável. Sem frescuras, como muitos que tratam do café com paixão. Espero que saia logo em português para encontrar mais leitores no Brasil. Recomendo muito!

Anything by James Hoffman is excellent, and this book does not disappoint. Not too much science, easy to read and understand. Perfect for beginner and advanced coffee makers/lovers. I first bought a copy for myself, and this is my second copy I am giving as a gift alongside a bag of coffee beans.
