Review: Teaches me to focus more on sensory experience in drinking coffee - I have been drinking coffee daily for a few years, but apart from “I like this one”, “pleasant taste”, “creamy”, and “thick”, I don’t really know what to look for in brewed coffee, much less to describe it in terms of flavor. This book introduces me to the world of coffee, what’s there in the coffee, popular professional terms and lexicon, what affects flavor, how to taste coffee like a professional, and a lot more. It’s different from most other coffee books on the market which mainly cover the popular kinds of beans and coffees, making coffee, coffee tools and machines etc. This book is above that. To me, it’s much more enlightening. Almost technical, but very easy to read. I can now taste coffee from a new perspective, focusing on sensory qualities. It gives me a totally new, pleasurable and engaging experience in drinking my daily afternoon cuppa. And when in a coffee shop, I am more confident looking at the specialty menu and understanding more of what they have.
Review: A Great Book on What Tasting is All About - I have always been on a quest to make a better tasting cup of coffee. But I finally realized that I needed to learn more about what happens when I taste coffee. This book slowly, carefully, and very completely guides the reader through all that is happening when tasting coffee - or anything for that matter. I especially like the many palate exercises the author provides to help us identify certain properties of what we’re tasting. This book is the best resource I have found on tasting, and how taste, smell, and touch contribute to our perception of flavor. I highly recommend it!
