Kenneth Davids has been an important coffee writer for decades, and can speak with authority and perspective on the Specialty coffee movement, from it's start to it's current state in the world. Bringing that oversight to all the particulars of coffee, to describing it's sensory aspects, to roasting and brewing, to trends in processing and preparation ... this is why his perspective offers depth of understanding, context and meaning.
This latest book incorporates and updates his work for the last 35 years in writing about coffee. It works as a cover-to-cover read, and as a reference manual you might find yourself going to countless times. While there are a lot of books that attempt to "do it all" on the subject of coffee, to speak about it in all manifestations from tree to cup, I feel like Ken Davids is someone who has the skill and experience to do this in stride.
This is a full 285 pages that takes it all on: Coffee History (Chapter 2), Coffee Flavor Attributes (Chapters 5-6), a unique approach to the "Why" of coffee flavor (Chapters 7-10), an extensive Atlas of Coffee Origins (Chapters 11-14), Coffee and the Environment (Chapter 15), Coffee Roasting, including Home Roasting (Chapter 16), Grinding (Chapter 17), Brewing (Chapter 18), Health Aspects (Chapter 19), Espresso Afterward (Chapter 20).
