Why read it?
1 author picked Tasting Coffee as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love this book because it captures the experience of coffee tasting as it really happens and explores it from a social science perspective. What I love most about the book, though, is how much I disagree with some of its content; it is wonderful to love someone’s perspective and effort without always seeing eye to eye. Reader beware: the first part of the book is heavily academic, but it clears out and eventually becomes easy reading.
From Shawn's list on coffee books by academics that anyone can understand.
