Most of all, I hated walking into a coffee shop and feeling like I had to learn a new language just to order my black coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStill...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoffee is more than just a caffeine delivery system!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book sets the record straight and separates fact from fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDescription from 1st Edition\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI, too, was a coffee zombie, walking around calling myself a coffee lover. For years I stumbled around in a daze drinking stale, bitter coffee and grumbling \"beans... beans...\". Thank Goodness I finally woke up to the world of coffee. By Immersing myself in the coffee world via reading every book I could find, visiting trade fairs, every high-end cafe I could find, and barista competitions, I realized that, while there is a huge amount of information out there free on the Internet and in artisan coffee shops, there was no single resource that connects all the dots and spells it all out for confused novice coffee drinkers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUntil now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFact: Making a great cup of coffee requires focus and commitment. This means that to make a billion dollar for-profit coffee franchise, you MUST find ways to cut corners and short change your customers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFact: There are some GREAT coffee shops out there that care about coffee and customers and are worth every penny they charge, but they can be hard to identify, making it easy to just settle for familiar chain coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFact: Making very good coffee is NOT THAT HARD. With a minimal investment in time and education you can make the best cup of coffee you've ever had in your life in the comfort of your own home. This book shows exactly why billion dollar for-profit coffee chains are inherently unable to produce coffee of the quality you can make in the kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Coffeeist Manifesto is half self-defense manual and half how-to instructional. By the end of it, any coffee beginner will have a foundational understanding of the coffee industry and know how to identify the good coffee shops from the bad ones. But most importantly, you'll know how to beat them at their own game by making coffee at home that blows the cafes out of the water.\u003cbr\u003eTable of Contents:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart I -Coffee Theory\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoffeeists of the World, Unite!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHistory\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Politics of Coffee\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBarista's Dilemma\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoffee Myths (caffeine facts, health, etc)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour Keys to Killer Coffee\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoffee Roasting at Home\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart II - Coffee Brewing Methods\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eZen and the Art of Brewing Coffee\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstant Coffee\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCowboy Coffee\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCold Brew\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePercolator Pot\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoffee Pot\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePress Pot\/French Press\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAeropress\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePour Over\/ Mr. Clever\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVacuum Pot\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRegional Variations\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrendy coffee brew methods\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart III - Espresso\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA word about Espresso\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoka Pot (\"stovetop espresso\")\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrinders\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eROK Espresso Machine\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRancilio Silvia\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEspresso Variations\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart IV - The Truth About Coffee Shops\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoffee Shop Appreciation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoffee Tourism\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Rules\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDecoding the Menu\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOther Coffee Drinks\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoffee Recipes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Green tea extract\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Butter Coffee \/ Paleo Coffee \/ \"Bulletproof coffee\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-\"Umpkinpay Picesay\" latte\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom Coffeeist to Aficionado\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn summary, there's no shame in not being an expert on coffee.
