How to Make Coffee : The science behind the bean

Description

How to Make Coffee explores the scientific principles behind the art of coffee making, along with step-by-step instructions of all the major methods, and which beans, roast, and grind are best for them. This book also covers topics such as: The history of the bean Chemical composition Caffeine and decaf Milk Roasting and grinding Machines and gadgets . . . and many more Caffeine is the most widely consumed mind-altering molecule in the world; we cannot get enough of it. How is it that coffee has such a hold? Its all in the chemistry ; the molecular structure of caffeine and the flavour-making phenols and fats that can be lured out from the bean by roasting, grinding and brewing. Making good coffee depends on understanding the science : why water has to be at a certain temperature, how roast affects taste, and what happens when you add cream. This book lays out the scientific principles for the coffee-loving non-scientist ; stick to these and you will never drink an ordinary cup of joe again. Review: Good book! - This book will easily take you from beginner to intermediate coffee connoisseur! Review: Livre en mauvais état - Le livre en soit est très bien par contre il est arrivé en mauvais état. Je suis donc un peu déçue sachant que j’ai commandé un livre “neuf”… Je vais le protéger d’un film plastique pour pas l’abîmer plus
