I love books. I love coffee. And so I really, really love books about coffee.
The Coffee Cupper’s Handbook by Ted Lingle, only came today, and I can not wait to read it cover-to-cover. Looks brilliant.
The Various Flavours of Coffee by Anthony Capella is strangely related to the Lingle book, even though it’s a work of fiction. It’s essentially a romance novel (and a particularly explicit one, I must say) about a poet who is commissioned to develop a language to describe and characterise coffee flavours. I’ve never read anything with such a surfeit of sensory detail.
Hooray! Now you can be a professional roaster ;P
Hahahaha … excellent …
haha, not really. Only be a roaster as your “profession”…. ok that was cheeky.
