LOL!!
I was waiting to see how long it would take before it was discovered on CS!!!!
This book is awesome!!! Bit of a chick book, but heck, I luv how it cleverly gets the masses excited about the craft of cupping and tasting single origins and specialty coffee.

Well, Im now up to pg 180, and have this inexplicable craving for a blueberry-laden Harrar.
Goodness, its a bit more ... umm ... woo-woo than I expected
But still, loving all the cupping notes and tastings that happen through the story. I dont think Ive ever read anything that has such a surfeit of sensory evocations.
It does touch on some rather more serious themes as well, such as the slave trade, and the womens suffrage movement.
LOL!!

Make sure you have Ted Lingles Coffee Cuppers Handbook close by [ch65533]
Actually, a lot of the chapters start with a quote from the Lingle book, or from Lenoirs Nez du Café notes.
Im only up to page 25 so far, but its really good. And incidentally, on pg 25 is the description of the first experience of an espresso; quite wonderful.
Now I just need my Lingle as well ... ooh, Michelles getting so many great books this week!!!
I had a serendipitous event at Borders today. Looking for books by the French philosopher Albert Camus I came across this book by Anthony Capella curiously titled, The Various Flavors of Coffee.
