I bought this book from Amazon.com many years ago and have fully enjoyed it. It has a lot of variety with the recipes, it also has a section on Italian Cream sodas, which are very good, especially in the summer time when you would rather have something cool as opposed to something hot. Most all the syrups can be bought from Da Vinci Gourmet if you have no place to buy them in your home town. My favorite recipes vary with this book, but I have tried many. The two best would be Strawberry Amaretto Mocha and Coffee Toffee. Although I do find all of them very good. I wish there were more books like this, it mostly contains all recipes which was what I was looking for.

My husband just bought himself a barista and has been having a blast with this recipe book! He's bought so many of the syrup flavors that we're getting a wine rack to store them. We haven't tried all the drinks yet, but so far we haven't been disappointed with any of them.

I really liked this book. I was looking for a coffee recipe book and for me this is it! It even helped me develop my own recipes. I would recommend this book to every one.

I bought this little book about 5 years ago, and love going back to it for different drink ideas. It provides a basic background on coffee and the different types of espresso-based drinks. It's great to get my creativeness going on new recipes. Nice to keep around if you're throwing a party and need some new interesting drink ideas. Also provides alcoholic versions.


5 out of 5 stars Just what I was wanting!!!   April 4, 2007

This is a great book for someone with a home espresso machine!! The book is great for people who are just starting out and want to have some variety to their drinks. There is a little bit of everything in here - hot espresso drinks, iced espresso drinks, holiday drinks, espresso drinks with "spirit". There are even drinks for the kids - shakes, floats, and steamers. My kids (17yo, two 6yo, 3 yo, and 16mo) have already tried one or two of the steamers and love them (ok - so the baby hasn't had any yet)!! They think they are drinking coffee just like mommy since it's made with the same machine I use for my espresso drinks. The book looks great to sit on my coffee table as decoration and then easy to grab when I want to use it to make my coffee in the mornings.
