Winner of the 2024 Midwest Book Award in Cookbooks; 2024 IACP Cookbook Award finalist; 2024 Society of Midland Authors Richard Frisbie Award honoree Home coffee-making authority and author of Craft Coffee: A Manual introduces you to the wide world of coffee flavor Have you ever purchased coffee based on delectable flavor notes—strawberry jam, milk chocolate, hazelnut—only to find none of it in your cup? It’s a common experience among coffee lovers. These days, high-quality coffee can taste all kinds of ways, thanks to roasting techniques that help draw out the qualities of the bean. In addition to that characteristic coffee taste, you really can find hints of fruit, chocolate, and nuts in your cup—all it takes is a little knowledge, a little practice, and the ability to slow down and savor. That’s where How to Taste Coffee comes in. With the same accessible, no-shame approach she took in Craft Coffee , bestselling author Jessica Easto explains why flavor notes are not always as straightforward with coffee as they are with other beverages, such as wine, beer, and spirits. You’ll learn how our senses perceive coffee, what creates and affects coffee flavor, and how to practice your sensory skills, using the same tools and resources as coffee professionals. With nineteen exercises designed to help you identify and talk about what you’re tasting, you’ll come away with a more developed palate, an improved ability to choose coffee you’re going to love, and a better understanding of the astounding complexity contained within these tiny beans. A must-read for any lover of coffee, How to Taste Coffee inspires readers to taste widely and sip consciously, with more appreciation, more discernment, and a greater sense of wonder.

Teaches me to focus more on sensory experience in drinking coffee
I have been drinking coffee daily for a few years, but apart from “I like this one”, “pleasant taste”, “creamy”, and “thick”, I don’t really know what to look for in brewed coffee, much less to describe it in terms of flavor.This book introduces me to the world of coffee, what’s there in the coffee, popular professional terms and lexicon, what affects flavor, how to taste coffee like a professional, and a lot more. It’s different from most other coffee books on the market which mainly cover the popular kinds of beans and coffees, making coffee, coffee tools and machines etc. This book is above that. To me, it’s much more enlightening. Almost technical, but very easy to read.I can now taste coffee from a new perspective, focusing on sensory qualities. It gives me a totally new, pleasurable and engaging experience in drinking my daily afternoon cuppa. And when in a coffee shop, I am more confident looking at the specialty menu and understanding more of what they have.

A Great Book on What Tasting is All About
I have always been on a quest to make a better tasting cup of coffee. But I finally realized that I needed to learn more about what happens when I taste coffee. This book slowly, carefully, and very completely guides the reader through all that is happening when tasting coffee - or anything for that matter. I especially like the many palate exercises the author provides to help us identify certain properties of what we’re tasting. This book is the best resource I have found on tasting, and how taste, smell, and touch contribute to our perception of flavor. I highly recommend it!
