Real Fresh Coffee is the culmination of over 20 years of experience in Speciality Coffee. Jeremy and Steven have put pen to paper to create the perfect guide to understanding where coffee comes from, how to roast, what makes Speciality Coffee so special and how to create the perfect coffeeshop quality brew in your own home. This book makes the perfect gift for coffee lovers or as a reference guide for the coffee connoisseur.

Good coffee and wine have much in common, not least how the terroir of the crop affects the flavor profile of the finished coffee from different geographical areas, so that you can choose your beans with confidence. Whether you enjoy light and bright, warm and mellow, or dark and aromatic flavors, discover how to roast and grind your own beans and use the brewing guides to refine your coffee-making skills.

Carter B. ★★★★★

The hand-signed edition makes it feel like a collector’s piece, and the 2021 update means the history section reads fresh, not dated. I’ve only read the first two chapters, but the writing is clear enough for a total coffee novice like me.

Brian ★★★★★

The hardback binding feels solid and the pages are thick enough to flip through with a coffee in hand without worrying about damage. I got it for a friend who's just getting into brewing, and the history sections are a great starting point.

Thomas ★★★★★

The handwritten signature on the title page was a nice surprise—makes it feel like a collector’s piece. I’m halfway through and the history of coffee is laid out in a way that’s easy to follow, even for a beginner.
