 Indulgent and Delicious! July 21, 2000

As I am French, I enjoy a good cup of cafe au lait. But if you are looking to broaden your horizons, this is the book to own! A coffee lover's heaven, there are lots of great recipes that will be sure to please. Very handy for parties, afternoon gathering or just for yourself. Absolutely wonderful!
 Great explanations for wanna-be coffee experts, no pictures January 11, 2010

Great book with expert tips, advice, and explanations of equipment, the different types of coffee beans, and how to make all sorts of drinks. It was a gift for a friend who is into latte making as a hobby, and he LOVED it. It has no pictures. If you are looking for a book with step-by-step pictures, or any illustrations at all, this is not your book. The content is great and it is a small, light book (very portable and gift-friendly).

Mr Haviza should stick to the comic books. Not only does this book provide recipes comparable to starbucks, it gives insight on how to tweak starbucks a little to bring out even more boldness. So Mr Haviza, just read the book again. This time without Abby sitting on top of you in all of her glory, although that is a pretty sight i might add

This is a relativly simple book for those who want to impress their friends with a tasty coffee. However if you are a true espresso fan you may be dissapointed, I find the book has more of a candy appeal than true coffee expressions.
Pretty disappointed in this book. March 28, 2007

There is only one recipe for espresso drinks. There are other recipes for drinks with brewed coffee, but they have ingredients that most people do not normally keep in their house. The sections on the history of coffee and some tips on how to make a better coffee/espresso, are pretty good. If you are looking for some recipes for some different drinks, this is definately not the book you are wanting. I'm going to keep the book only because I don't want to go through the hassle of returning it, but I will not be recommending it to anyone to buy.
