FROM THE AUTHOR: When I began in the coffee business fourteen years ago, I read every book I could find about coffee.

After reading so many coffee books, this is the one that I had been looking for. One can learn what you need for making a espresso after reading this book. If Illy’s espresso has too much unnecessary information, this handbook is just of the right dose. With this book you will save years, hundreds pound of bean, learning the skill of making a true espresso.

PS I was positively suprised about the prompt action of Watergliders, where I’ve purchased this book.
