A practical guide to better home coffee

James Hoffmann’s guide brings equipment choices, grinding, brewing methods and familiar café drinks into one home-focused reference. It covers approaches for several kinds of brewers, including the cafetière, AeroPress and stovetop, alongside explanations of drinks such as cortados and lattes and a section on espresso. The book’s range makes it useful for thinking through the whole process—from choosing what to buy to preparing different styles of coffee—rather than concentrating on a single machine or recipe.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Home coffee makers comparing equipment and brewing methods
  • Coffee drink enthusiasts interested in espresso and café-style drinks

Book overview

A world-leading coffee expert shows how to make barista-level coffee at home

We all expect to be able to buy an excellent cup of coffee from the many brilliant coffee shops available. But what about the coffee we make at home? Shouldn't that be just as good?

Coffee expert James Hoffmann is the cofounder of Square Mile Coffee, as well as creating extremely informative, and popular, kit and coffee reviews for his YouTube and Instagram channels. In his latest book he demonstrates everything you need to know to make consistently excellent coffee at home, including: what kit is worth buying, and what isn't; how to grind coffee; the basics of brewing for all major equipment (cafetiere, aeropress, stovetop etc); understanding coffee drinks, from the cortado to latte; and the perfect espresso.
