Got a real coffee nerd on your hands? Send 'em to the books with James Hoffmann's atlas of the world's most famed bean-growing regions. Don't be surprised when they start planning a trip to coffee hot spots in Africa, Asia, and the Americas. -- Madeline Boardman ― Cosmopolitan Magazine Online Published On: 2019-09-19
James Hoffman is my go-to professional for all things coffee, from equipment reviews to brewing techniques to drink recipes. His YouTube channel is starred on my browser menu, and his advice has expertly carried me through a myriad of coffee conundrums. His book, The World Atlas of Coffee, is the perfect geek-out read for anyone interested in learning more about the wide world of coffee. It covers how coffee is produced, from harvest through roasting, and includes step-by-step guides for all the core home-brewing methods. -- Michal Bennett ― Inlander Published On: 2021-12-02

From overviews of the world's most vibrant coffee-growing regions, to step-by-step brewing tutorials, the content is educational, thought-provoking, and substantial. I've already recommended this book to Barista Magazine readers countless times. -- Sarah Allen, Editor ― Barista Magazine Published On: 2015-07-01
[Review of previous edition:] Exploring the origins, growing regions, harvesting and every step of the production process author James Hoffmann provides a fascinating look at the world of coffee. Starting with an examination of the coffee plant, the varieties, how it is harvested, Hoffmann clearly explains each stage. The second part of the book presents details on the journey from bean to cup, with information on every option for roasting and brewing. The last section examines all of the 29 coffee-growing countries. Colour photographs fill the pages and bring to life the diversity of locations and the people involved. -- Terry Peters ― North Shore News Published On: 2016-11-16
[Review of previous edition:] For those interested in all-things java, author Hoffmann -- a world-champion barista and CEO of a British roasting company -- has written the definitive guide. If you love coffee, then you'll love this book. Hoffman focuses on specialty coffees: those "defined by their quality and by how good they taste" and discusses in fascinating detail how different varieties of coffee produce their own unique flavors, aromas, and commercial value. The book is divided into three beautifully illustrated sections that cover the process of growing and processing coffee, the numerous ways to grind, roast, and brew it, and the geographical and historical origins of the many types of drinkable black gold. Readers will find a bevy of informative tidbits throughout the book. For example, American G.I.s created Americano by watering down Italian espresso... The book's design also warrants praise: it's loaded with hundreds of full color photographs, maps, and illustrations. It is well-written, informative, and a must-have for general readers who want to know more about their favorite morning brew. ― Publishers Weekly Published On: 2014-11-17
[Review of previous edition:] This single-volume "all you want to know about coffee"book fills a gap in the popular reference literature. Though the title uses the more academic word atlas, this is actually a readable work on coffee, albeit arranged by continent and then by region. It seeks to provide information on where coffee is grown, the people who grow it, and the coffee culture at large. The book begins with an introduction to coffee and the process of getting from the bean to the cup. The atlas portion contains 30 pages covering Africa; 22 pages, Asia; and 68 pages, the Americas. As seen in other Firefly books, it is profusely illustrated with color plates. Recommended for circulating collections at libraries where interest in coffee is high. -- Jerry Carbone ― Booklist Published On: 2014-12-15
[Review of previous edition:] The World Atlas of Coffee...takes ambitious as its starting point and then shoots for exhaustive. It doesn't hit that crazy a level of detail, which is lucky for us because it remains at once packed and approachable. Just one example: in the section on Burundi, Hoffmann details fourteen growing regions. It's a book coffee professionals and enthusiasts alike should not just add to their libraries but dog-ear and highlight. Opening with the history, production, retail, and brewing of coffee, Hoffmann spends more than a hundred pages at origin, giving special attention to traceability. Designed with gorgeous photography and an eye to draw readers through the sometimes bewildering process of brewing a simple cup of coffee, The World Atlas of Coffee is a book you'll spend as much time looking at as reading. -- Cory Eldridge ― Fresh Cup Magazine Published On: 2014-11-05
[Review of previous edition:] One of the world's favorite beverages is dissected in this encyclopedia that introduces the coffee plant and its harvesting, processing, and trade and discusses the buying and preparation of the drink before embarking on a world coffee tour. This voyage takes up most of the title and includes information on the history and current state of coffee growing, processing, and consumption in sections on Africa, Asia, and the Americas. A strength of the book are the numerous, often full-spread photos, of coffee at every stage from fruit to cup. An unusual offering that will be of value in collections serving agriculture, business, and nutrition students. -- Henrietta Verma ― Library Journal Published On: 2014-12-01
[Review of previous edition:] For the coffee geek if you don't know the difference between the coffee varieties Arabica and Robusta, if you're wondering how coffee cultivation in Ethiopia differs from that in Costa Rica, if you're confused about the myriad methods of brewing coffee, you won't find a better resource than "The World Atlas of Coffee: From Beans to Brewing--Coffees Explored, Explained and Enjoyed". Even confirmed coffee geeks will benefit from this volume, at once encyclopedic and approachable. -- Erica Marcus ― The Tampa Bay Ledger Published On: 2014-12-30

با وجود اینکه هنوز بسیاری از کتابخوانها [ی حرفهای] ترجیح میدهند از کتاب چاپی برای مطالعه استفاده کنند ولی شمار کتابخوانهایی که بهتدریج از کتاب الکترونیک به عنوان مکمل یا منبع اصلی مطالعه استفاده میکنند کم نیست. فارغ از نوآوریهای جالبتوجه در زمینهی کتابخوانهایی همانند Kindle کمپانی آمازون، امکان و قابلیت نرمافزاری ساده، کارآمد و در دسترس مطالعهی کتاب با فرمت ePub از نظر بسیاری از کتابخوانها دور مانده است؛ بر اساس تجربهی مستقیم ما، شاهد بودهایم که بسیاری از افرادی که به صورت حرفهای به دنبال کتابهای زبان اصلی برای مطالعه روی کامپیوتر، تبلت و موبایل خود هستند با فرمت ePub آشنایی درستی ندارند.
پر واضح است که لمس کتاب بهصورت فیزیکی و بوی خوش کاغذ تجربهای لذتبخش و بیمانند است که همچنان در بین کتابخوانهای حرفهای در سراسر دنیا هواداران بسیاری دارد. البته، وقتی یکی از دغدغههای کتابخوان سهولت مطالعهی کتاب تحت هر شرایطی باشد اینجاست که نیاز به استفاده از کتاب الکترونیک حس میشود. با توجه به ویژگیهای مناسب کتابهای الکترونیک با فرمت ePub نگرانی ضعیف شدن بینایی و خستگی چشم بر اثر نگاه مستقیم به صفحهی نمایش تا حد بسیار زیاد و قابلتوجهی کاسته میشود.
کتاب الکترونیک با فرمت ePub این قابلیت را به خواننده میدهد تا بتواند رنگ زمینه، نوع فونت و سایز فونت را برای مطالعهی کتاب خود انتخاب کنند. همچنین خواننده این امکان را دارد که روی نوشته یادداشت بنویسد، جملهای را هایلایت کند و یا صفحه یا صفحاتی از کتاب را بوکمارک کند.
خوشبختانه نرمافزارهای کتابخوان الکترونیکی رایگان بسیاری وجود دارد که از فرمت PDF و ePub پشتیبانی میکنند. این کتابخوانهای الکترونیک قابل نصب روی انواع موبایلهای اندرویدی، آیفون، لپتاپهای ویندوزی و مکبوک است.
