Chemical composition Caffeine and decaf Milk Roasting and grinding
Machines and gadgets . . . and many more Caffeine is the most
widely consumed mind-altering molecule in the world; we cannot get
enough of it. How is it that coffee has such a hold? Its all in the
chemistry; the molecular structure of caffeine and the
flavour-making phenols and fats that can be lured out from the bean
by roasting, grinding and brewing. Making good coffee depends on
understanding the science: why water has to be at a certain
temperature, how roast affects taste, and what happens when you add
cream. This book lays out the scientificprinciples for the
coffee-loving non-scientist; stick to these and you will never
drink an ordinary cup of joe again.

Suid-Afrika se Mnr. Pinotage, Beyers Truter, se passie vir die lewe en wyn is oral bekend. In hierdie boek kyk hy terug op sy eerste treë as wynmaker van Kanonkop, asook die deftige funksie in Londen toe hy in 1991 as Wynmaker van die Wêreld aangewys is.
Hy vertel ook van die vlammetjie wat altyd in hom gebrand het om op sy eie plaas wyn te maak en die groot oomblik van Beyerskloof se eerste oes. Sy lewensreis as eienaar en wynmaker van Beyerskloof is een van vriendskap, nederigheid en lojaliteit. Die bekende ou skrywer van cowboy-boeke Louis L'Amour se betekenis van traildust was nog altyd vir hom 'n rigsnoer in sy lewe as wynmaker, ouer en vriend.
Beyers sien altyd die humor in situasies raak en dis een van die redes hoekom hy die wyntoere so baie geniet het saam met Jannie Engelbrecht, Jan-Boland Coetzee, Kevin Arnold en Johan Malan. Hy het ook 'n lang paadjie geloop met die bekende Etzebeth-rugbybroers, asook Koos Kombuis. Hy deel ook sy liefde vir sy honde, duik, seekos en Namibië.
