Coffee Nerd: How to Have Your Coffee and Drink It Too by Ruth Brown

4.0

This is a very fun book looking at the various and delicious ways to enjoy coffee. It has a good deal of information and is told in a humorous and insightful manner. I liked the chapter sets which are interesting and end with a further information section at the end, which was a great addition. The illustrations are a fun addition as well.

Maybe the best part is the passion that comes through of the author's love for coffee and coffee information.

I picked this up because I love coffee. I was hoping for a little more background and more depth, but the author did warn me at the beginning that this book wasn't going to have that. Instead it was witty, at times abrasive and 100% hipster. I did enjoy what I learned but I am not convinced to brew my coffee any different then I already do (this seemed to be the authors end game - trying to encourage correct brewing) though I am considering an aeropress, so I'll give her that.

If you like coffee, I recommend this book. It's fun and enjoyable, but if you want to really learn about coffee, look elsewhere!

Really enjoyed the book. I’ve been nerding out on coffee for a couple of years now and I’ve definitely learned a bunch of new things through the book. And it’s absolutely entertainingly written. Definitely recommended if you’re into coffee.

I quite liked this! I learned fun odds and ends about coffee culture, history, brewing equipment- pros and cons of each, and Brown provided references for journals and further study.
