How to Make the Best Coffee at Home

James Hoffmann’s practical home-coffee manual, and the one we hand people who want to get better without falling down a forum hole. The 2007 World Barista Champion walks through what kit is worth buying and what isn’t, how to grind, and the fundamentals of brewing on everything from a cafetière to an espresso machine.

224 pages, clearly laid out, useful on day one. If you’ve read our Journal and want the whole method in one place, this is it. We stock it, so grade us on whether it actually helps.
