The Coffeeist Manifesto: No More Bad Coffee!

This guide aims to take the reader from a casual coffee drinker to a keen home brewer. It opens with the basics of brewing and roasting, then explores how coffee is grown and sold, the myths and facts about caffeine, and why big chains tend to fall short on quality. The author writes from frustration with the jargon and mystique of coffee shops, and sets out to replace it with plain explanations. Readers will find chapters on a range of brewing methods, from pour-over and French press to espresso and stovetop pots, plus guidance on choosing good cafés and ordering with confidence. The tone is informal and opinionated, offering a basic education in coffee for anyone who simply wants a better cup at home.
