A gorgeous gift book or self-purchase for coffee lovers.
Have you ever planned a trip with a friend and watched them sniff out the best cafes first, and the accommodation second? A caffeinated gourmand who loves to explore new scenes and try new flavors? Destination Coffee is a book for the coffee and travel lover. It showcases the world's greatest coffee cities, from Portland to Trieste, Melbourne to Rome, and uncovers coffee-drinking histories from around the world. It will guide you to the best cafe enclaves and help you to choose what to drink when you get there.
Beautifully illustrated, Destination Coffee is a gift book that percolates with information on coffee styles and equipment, and includes insights from baristas and cafe latte artists on coffee's unshakeable place in popular culture, and why we're so completely obsessed with this mystical brew. Illustrations by Manhattan-based artist Wenjia Tang.
Pick up this book from the sales department at my local book shop, and did not expect much since it is very compact and light, which I thought would be easy to carry around in my bag.
However, once I started reading it, it was surprisingly engaging and fun to read and had very cute visuals. The author and the artist collaborate very well in producing this book.
I do love good coffee, and reading this while drinking one is very relaxing and inspiring. Learned new coffee knowledge and can not wait to try the coffee bean of each country when I travel next.
Coffee, book, and travel are essentially what you find in little book entitled “Destination Coffee” by Jane Ormond. Succinctly, you learn the basics and intricacy of coffee including four waves of coffee evolution.
Power of coffee is undeniably world phenomenon. Live and present with this little book.
A super-fun read that's also incredibly informative. Not just your usual coffee hotspots: 'Destination Coffee' is a guide to a diverse range of coffee cultures and attitudes to the delicious brew. I particularly loved the write-up of Hanoi and its disturbing/delicious egg coffee.
