"The World Atlas of Coffee" takes readers on a global tour of coffee-growing countries, presenting the bean in full-color photographs and concise, informative text. It covers where coffee is grown, the people who grow it and the cultures in which it is a way of life. It also covers the world of consumption — processing, grades, the consumer and the modern culture of coffee.
For this new edition, the author expanded his research travels over the last several years to include seven additional coffee-growing regions: Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, China, Philippines, Thailand, Haiti and Puerto Rico. These are covered across 16 additional pages. As well, all of the book's maps have been updated to show greater detail, and all statistics and data have been updated to the most recent available.
Organised by continent and then country or region, "The World Atlas of Coffee" presents the world's favourite brew in colour spreads packed with information.
The coverage in "The World Atlas of Coffee" is wide and deep. The book is used by barista and coffee-tasting instructors in North America and overseas and has been welcomed by enthusiastic coffee drinkers everywhere. Appropriate for special and general collections alike, it is an essential selection.
The book was written by James Hoffmann, who is a serious coffee expert who won the World Barista Championship in 2007, and owner of a vlog channel about coffee with nearly 1.5 million subscribers on Youtube.
Pham Tuan Anh, an expert in quality assurance of green coffee beans (Q Grader) and founder of Bloom Coffee Roastery said that a book like this is very useful for those who are just starting in a job related to coffee.
