World-leading coffee expert and best-selling author of The World Atlas of Coffee shows you how to make barista-level coffee at home.
We all expect to be able to buy an excellent cup of coffee from the many brilliant coffee shops available. But what about the coffee we make at home? Shouldn't that be just as good?
James Hoffmann is an entrepreneur and the international name in coffee, combining expert-level knowledge with a wonderful ability to communicate it. James runs Square Mile Coffee, as well as creating extremely informative, and popular, coffee and equipment reviews for his YouTube and Instagram channels. In his latest book he demonstrates everything you need to know to make consistently excellent coffee at home, including: what equipment is worth buying, and what isn't; how to grind coffee; the basics of brewing for all major equipment (cafetiere, aeropress, stovetop etc); understanding coffee drinks, from the cortado to latte and the perfect espresso.
Home Inspiration by teNeues goes into the next round - and has
never been more relevant. After all, when the world around us is in
shambles, a home with a feel-good vibe is essential. For some, a
pared-down aesthetic that exudes a pleasant homeliness may be the
right path to well-deserved ease; for others, a cheerful riot of
colour is a fitting counterpart to the monochromatic daily grind.
Two very different approaches that nevertheless pursue the same
goal: to conjure up a real retreat from a simple living space.
Whether Hygge or Lagom, the Scandinavians manage the balancing act
between inviting cosiness and inspiring modernity without
precedent. Almost puristic in appearance, a combination of natural
materials such as wood, pampas grass or ceramics and clean lines
create an unobtrusive understatement. This turns a world of
furnishings into an attitude to life that promises more balance in
all situations - and this is what people outside Scandinavia are
striving for. In the usual teNeues quality with a high-quality
layout, large-format images and exciting content, the new
illustrated books in the freshly launched series now skilfully set
the scene for two further interior trends, elegantly acting as
decorative eye-catching pieces themselves. A practical index, which
offers support in the search for brands and manufacturers, as well
as fascinating rooms for re-styling make the books true
inspirational treasures for every interior enthusiast. Other titles
