And this is the guide for you. How to Make Coffee provides an in-depth look at the art and science behind the bean. Learn the anatomy of coffee; the chemistry of caffeine; the best way to roast, grind, and brew the beans to their peak flavor; and what gadgets you really need (versus what gadgets are for mere coffee dilettantes).

Quotes

  • Katya Kanke-Zaikanovahas quoted8 years ago
    Unlikely, but certainly it is the chemistry of coffee that makes it so compatible with the human body and brain, making it the world’s favourite drink. The molecular structure of caffeine, the active ingredient, is very similar to a compound in the human body that controls part of the nervous system. This compound, adenosine, turns down nerve activity, while caffeine blocks adenosine from connecting with its receptors and as such can effectively re-energize.

    The roasting process turns carbohydrates and fats into aromatic oils and breaks down or builds up various acids
  • Arseny Bessmertnykhhas quoted2 years ago
    seems a very apposite product for its time: brought about by a blend of art, science, discovery, and human curiosity, just the kind of refreshment needed by the Renaissance brain on full alert to process the breakthroughs, inventions, creativity, and paradigm shifts of the era.
