Coffee book recommendation: lovely technical control work "the Blue Bottle Craft of Cof"

What was the name of the first coffee shop in Vienna?

Blue bottle Cafe.

This blue bottle is not that blue bottle.

At the beginning of coffee introduction, I looked up the Blue bottle Cafe and found a chain store in the United States. I seemed to take a brief walk around the website. Later, when I talked about the topic of the earliest coffee shop in the world, I also mentioned that there is also a blue bottle in the United States, which is doing a good job. It is a regional coffee shop chain. Unexpectedly, a few years later, what I had in my hand was the masterpiece of the owner of the Blue bottle Cafe.

This is always the way things are.

The author really wrote that he opened the shop himself, not some people in the market who specially picked popular books and cobbled together to catch up with the trend. he mentioned that some details of his shop were very moving, such as breaking the rules and insisting on making slow coffee. from the beginning of the sparse customers, to suddenly look up one day and find that a dozen or twenty people lined up in front of the store. The author does not directly say that kind of mood, but people who have worked in the storefront themselves see such words, it is easy to empathize with them.

There is no lack of knowledge about coffee in the book. In addition to the traditional mention of important processes such as planting, roasting and production, the introduction is more cordial in some aspects, such as when it comes to coffee growing places. The author does not just talk about large producing areas or flavor features like other coffee books, but specifically describes a manor owner who has a business relationship with him. A landowner of el salvador introduced the life of this landowner's coffee plantation in detail, which made me get a lot of new knowledge. in addition, the description of organic coffee is also very practical.

The author is also a technical control, unlike some coffee shop theme books on the market, in fact, some books, even bestsellers, are not worth mentioning at the coffee technology level, but there are still many readers who are fascinated by coffee technology or coffee itself. because people who want to open a coffee shop are not necessarily fascinated by coffee technology or coffee itself. what attracts them is only the atmosphere of the coffee shop, or if they can find the atmosphere that attracts them. There's nothing wrong with the ice cream shop or the cake shop.

But what attracts me about the author of this book is that he is a lovely techie, perhaps not a great man, but like many men, he is curious about baking and the subtleties of other people's coffee making, as described in some part of the book. I can't help laughing at the details that the author has to bake when his wife is away from home in order to avoid his wife's aversion to smoke. And the author's original idea of opening a bakery in his yard was even more hilarious. I told this part to the people around me, and many people just didn't believe it and thought the author was exaggerating. How could they have such a strange idea, but I believe that the author's ideas are true, if not meet a few good friends The bakery he describes may actually be put into practice, because coffee makers know that coffee is a master who is prone to fantastic ideas.

When it comes to the theoretical knowledge of coffee, it is inevitable that there are many things that are more or less the same, but is there one point that can resonate with you and feel that you have gained something from reading it? this is the most important and simplest criterion for judging whether a book is good or bad.

In addition to seeing that the author is an actual coffee shop owner, the author also has ideas about coffee technology, which constantly resonates with me in the description of certain scenes and details. it is something that can only be described by a person who is really immersed in the coffee world, such as the large piece of text describing the early morning baking, the description of the details of the roaster, and the occasional emotion about coffee. Feel as if you are there and feel the same way.
