 THE coffee bible! October 21, 1999

I have read a number of books on coffee, but Knox and Huffaker's book is simply the all-around reference on coffee. While other book publishers include snazzy photo plates and recipes to sell their expensive books, this book gives tons of useful information on what goes into a wonderful cup of coffee. The experience and the passion that the authors (who are industry experts) have for the bean shows throughout. Because of this book, I was able to significantly enhance my family and friends' coffee drinking experience. Whether you're a novice coffee drinker or a seasoned espresso barista, this is one book that should be in your reference shelf.
More than basics and fantastic stories to know February 22, 1999

Mr.Knox tells full stories based upon his own experiences in the industry. And I am getting improved taste of my own brewed coffee with dozens of stories to share with my friends in Tokyo. Skepticism about our roasters has been cleaned by this book. First time I am totally touched by this book in this category.Thanks.

To the point -not over powering March 12, 2007
Robert G. Lackie (Alpine, CA)
I wanted to know about coffee. This book gave me knowledge about coffee. Easy to read and to the point. After reading this book I ended up talking to individuals in the coffee business and I was able to communicate on their level about coffee and its production.
