If you think coffee is absolutely the most important thing in the world, this book is for you! If not, I still recommend it but you might need to put it down once in a while and roll your eyes just the tiniest bit.
Still, it's definitely inspired me to seek out some really good coffee, and I bookmarked several of the cookie recipes. :-)

A good primer on the complicated world of coffee that bespeaks an infectious degree of passion for the subject matter; carves an interesting alternating path between the highly quantified and the unapologetically poetic. A slow read at times but I had a lot of fun coming into blue bottle cafes and reading the display copy as I enjoyed their fine product for which my appreciation grew as I read. Almost sad to have finished
