We all expect to be able to buy an excellent cup of coffee from the many brilliant coffee shops available. But what about the coffee we make at home? Shouldn't that be just as good?

Coffee guru James Hoffmann runs Square Mile Coffee, as well as creating extremely informative, and popular, kit and coffee reviews for his YouTube and Instagram channels. In his latest book he demonstrates everything you need to know to make consistently excellent coffee at home, including: what kit is worth buying, and what isn't; how to grind coffee; the basics of brewing for all major equipment (cafetiere, aeropress, stovetop etc); understanding coffee drinks, from the cortado to latte; the perfect espresso; and taking it to the next level - home roasting.

According to the 3 camels, the hardcover price of $16.99 by Amazon also matches the all time low value.

He seems really knowledgeable; is he well known in the coffee industry? I enjoy coffee and tried to sit through the videos once and twice, but just got kinda bored.

Endlessly entertaining YouTube channel, and his "method" for pourover coffee has been very useful over the years. Happy to throw a few bucks his way.

It looks like he's got his French Press, Hario, and Aeropress methods in the book (all of which I've used from his channel before), so that's worth the price of admission.

As much as I love his YT Channel and his reviews, I find his instructions for making coffee as an overkill. I get that the whole experience is a craft, but to an average coffee enthusiast, it's too much.
