What’s your drink of choice? Is it a small pumpkin spice latte? Then you’re lots of fun and a bit sassy. Or a medium americano? You prefer simplicity in life. Or perhaps it’s a small decaf soy sugar-free hazelnut caffe latte? Some might call you a yuppie. Seventeen-year-old barista Jane Turner has this theory that you can tell a lot about a person by their regular coffee d...more

Three words; frothy, fun, flavorful!

Move over Cupid, the Espressologist is in!

The Esprossologist is a very fun and cute story. The characters weren't quite developed enough for me. Even Jane the MC, felt a little two dimensional. I didn't feel any connection to her at all. Which was disappointing, because I really enjoyed what little we did learn about her.

Her relationship with Cam was another aspect that I think fell flat. I could see it happening, but it didn't have any real development. I nee...more

I'm a huge fan of coffee but I don't buy my coffee in Starbucks or other coffee shops because I find it expensive. If you drink too much coffee like I do, it's economical to make it myself. LOL. So, I'm not very familiar with the kind of coffee and lattes being mentioned in the book. However, I find Jane's match making skills amusing. It sound unreal but interesting nonetheless.

However, she skips class frequently because she is more focused on going to fashion school, and she has to work to afford the tuition.

As a hobby, Jane keeps a notebook full of people's drinks. She is able to predict what type of drinks people will order, and from this she is able to play matchmaker. Aft...more

This book is certainly a Young Adult, feminine book. I think it's a cute, fluffy read, but it certainly doesn't make you think or invoke much participation on the readers part. It's a neat story for an afternoon or weekend Summer read.

Jane Turner has been working at Weird Joe's coffee shop for several months now. As she served drinks and observed people, she began to see a pattern: She could tell what kind of person someone was by what drink they ordered. As she became more interested in this phenomenon, she started to keep notes on what kind of person drank each drink, and surprisingly, she was spot on every time. Finally more confident in her informal study, she began matchmaking friends and frequent customers based on their drink orders. Each time the couples were ecstatic. When word gets out, more and more people want to be matched by the "Espressologist." With all her matches, Jane was happy to see she'd help couples find happiness, but what about her happiness? What about her match?

I really enjoyed this book for the style. Matchmaking is not generally a genre I'd venture into, but I thought it sounded good for a quick summer read. I was certainly right. This is a great book for a quick summer read, but don't expect it to be well researched, perfectly written, or surprising. I'd say I have very few complaints about this book. I think Ms. Kristina Springer wrote an interesting new take on the YA romance scene. Wonderful debut novel.

But with all the good I have to say, one major thing brought the entire rating down. The Ending. I felt that the book ended suddenly, as if Springer simply tired of her story or her characters and wrote a quick easy ending without thinking it entirely through. I also felt that the ending was extremely unrealistic. Not so much in what ended, but in how Jane and other characters acted in the end. I understand this is fiction, but it's a realistic fiction about teenagers with teen drama that suddenly drops. I was very disappointed. Before I reached the final few chapters, I thought this book would be a 4 duck book, but the ending got me. There were also problems with the writing and phrasing, especially one character's use of British slang (incorrectly, might I add).

Over all, I thought it was a decent summer read and good for something light and frilly, or should I say frothy. If you're looking for something a bit romantic, very light, and very quick, you should think about checking this one out.(less)

High school senior Jane is a barista at Wired Joe (clearly a stand-in for Starbucks) in Chicago. She has been keeping a notebook to typecast her customers based on their coffee drink choices, which she puts to use as a matchmaker. All of her matches (except for the ones that involve her, of course) are perfect. There is no suspence or conflict of any significance. Too many characters with not enough heft to them to remember who they are from one page to the next. In a word, bo-o-o-ring. If I wer...more

It bothers me when I'm reading a book about something I know a lot about (being a barista) and I see so many obvious errors, not just in the writing style or descriptions, but with the actual subject of the book. I've been a barista for over five years and, granted, I have never and never will work at a Starbucks, the basic concept should be universal. However, I didn't feel like the author had any sort of relationship with coffee. The mechanics she used when describing how to make drinks was similar to what it would like from a customer's perspective of how a barista makes drinks. It's also very obvious that she's writing about Starbucks, and not just from the drink descriptions and names, but from the apparent use of automatic espresso machines. My opinion of Starbucks is very low for reasons relating to the facts that they're a corporation, taking advantage of coffee bean harvesters in foreign countries, and overextend their locations and employees, to the facts that they consistently claim to serve better and fresher coffee than the competition (not true and a very arrogant assumption to make), use automatic machines and don't bother to train employees how to properly prepare an espresso beverage for someone, and make up ridiculous terminology for their "baristas" to memorize and expect their customers to be able to order with.

Okay, so now I sound like an elitist who is waiting this book based on her disdain for Starbucks. Partially true, but only factors into maybe 10% of my opinion of the book as a whole. Moving on to the main character, Jane... This girl has no idea who she is or what she wants. She's loyal to the point of being friends with someone for several years who she doesn't seem to respect very much or involve herself in much on an emotional level. If I removed the word "friend" from this book and gave it someone else to read for the first time, I'm positive they would have no idea that that was their original relationship. They communicate with each other as if they're mere acquaintances. This is a huge problem in a book written for young adults because when young adults bond with someone, and decide they're best friends, there's a deep connection that you can feel automatically.

Also, Jane never seems particularly interested in anything that's happening around her. She likes to talk to people and match them up with others. That's not just the plot, that's her personality. She supposedly wants to go to school for fashion and, while the author mentions the clothes she wears more often than she mentions anything else about the girl, there's never any mention whatsoever about her desire to work in the fashion industry. What does she even want to do as a career? This doesn't make sense and seems like a very bland, vague attempt making her character seem fresh and cool. Jane's stereotyping of people in general, actually, seems to be another attempt at this. Disappointing. Do we really need more books told from a shallow, emotionally distant, judgmental teenager's point of view?

Nothing about this book is believable, which brings me to the whole business aspect. I'm not just a barista, I've also been the inventory manager at a 24/7 coffee shop for almost a year now. I handle the deposits for the store on a daily basis and I find it extremely unlikely that a corporate coffee shop can do the level of business the author implies. Somehow, the stressed out store manager, is able to make enough money on one Friday night to make it reasonable for their district manager to let him completely redo the entire store's decor for only one day. I also find it incredibly unlikely that one of the baristas would have any time to stand around and write an entire notebook's worth of cliched notes on customers' drink choices. I know from experience that it's almost impossible to send a complete text in between customers, orders, and work-related duties.

On that note, if I ever saw a manager treating an employee the way that Derek and Jane do, I would expect them to be fired or, at the very least, written up. You can not force only one employee to clean the bathrooms every day for a month in retaliation for them telling your boss you're giving away free drinks to "hot" customers.(less)

But when her manager promotes her talent to boost sales, her theories, and her nerves, are put to the test.

I love the concept, I have been a proponent of it for a long time: what kind of coffee someone orders can tell you something about that person whether it be current circumstances or personality. A young woman who works at a coffee shop realizes she has a talent for predicting what people will order based on their personalities and thinks that certain drinks (people) go with other drinks (persons)…and so begins a journey of matchmaking that of course goes awry.

And in between taking all these orders and brewing all that coffee, Jane is struck by a stroke of genius: what if you can tell a person’s personality from the drink he or she most often orders? At first, it’s all an amusing experiment, but when she successfully matches a couple of friends based on their favorite coffee drink, Espressology turns into something more.

Už nějakou dobu si zapisuje do notýsku druhy kávy a k nim charakteristiku těch, kteří si ji objednávají. Na základě pozorování dá dohromady dvě kávy. Tedy vlastně dva milovníky kávy. Gavin a Simone září štěstím. A tak se Jane pouští do dalšího párování. Svého spolužáka Camerona dohodí nejlepší kamarádce Em, kolegyni v práci fešného policistu. Všechno to vypadá jako náhoda a Jane by nikdy nenapadlo přikládat tomu větší význam. Jen to nazvala jakousi Espressologií.

Jelikož se Em neudrží a všechno vyžvaní vedoucímu pobočky, ten se rozhodne zkusit to a přilákat na „espressologickou poradnu“ nové zákazníky a zvednout tržby. Neuvěřitelné se stává skutečností a z Jane se stává kávová dohazovačka. Lidé jsou šťastní a Jane touží najít také svou lásku. Tou by měl být Will, který do kavárny chodí spolu s kamarády a s Jane flirtuje. Když jí oznámí, že přijde v pátek na její poradnu, je rozhodnuta dohodit mu sebe, i když její espressologická teorie říká, že k sobě vůbec nehodí.

Její poradna má takový úspěch, nejen že mají rekordní tržby, ale stane se mediální hvězdou. Její poslední sezení vysílá televize, což pro ni není úplně jednoduché. Ale je rozhodnuta dát dohromady co nejvíce párů. A nakonec sebe s Willem. Nebylo by to ono, kdyby se neobjevil problém, a tím je Melissa. Holka, která jí znechutila loňský školní rok, a která si o sobě myslí, že je něco víc. A když je požádána aby v přímém přenosu zrovna jí našla partnera hned na místě, nezbude jí nic jiného, než se řídit kávou a přenechat jí Willa. Kdo je tedy ten pravý pro samotnou Jane?

Román Espressologie není nic světoborného, ale je to velice příjemné čtení na jeden večer. Jane je normální, v mnoha ohledech by si kdejaká dívka přála být jako ona. Přestože to není kráska, oblíbenkyně, nebo sportovkyně, je to spolehlivá kamarádka a zapálená dohazovačka. Sice je to hodně předvídatelné, ale neztratilo to své kouzlo. Pro mě osobně to byla oddychovka, ale protože šlo o kávu a káva je pro mě láska a droga, bavilo mě to o to víc. Určitě tuhle knížku doporučuji všem, kteří mají rádi trochu romantiky, hodně humoru a nadsázky a chtějí si odpočinout u neobyčejně obyčejného příběhu.

„Co takhle domluvit společný rande? Ty můžeš vzít Willa a všichni čtyři něco podnikneme,“ navrhne Em.
Nevím proč, ale představa , že jdu na společný rande s Em a Cameronem, mi přijde zábavná asi tak jako kolonoskopický vyšetření, který jsem sice nikdy nezažila, ale mamka tvrdí, že je pěkně hnusný.
