A guide specializing in the preparation of espresso, coffee, and tea.

A note from the author: "When I started in the coffee industry in 1993, I had already read every book on coffee. However, after reading them, I felt that I was missing information on how to make good coffee. My coffee library was full of descriptions of brewing styles, growing regions, and several recipes, with almost unreadable scientific books mixed in. I would have gladly traded all those books for a single practical book, with relevant guidelines for learning how to make coffee in a bistro. After 15 years in the coffee industry, I decided that someone had to write that book. So I wrote The Professional Barista's Guide."
