How to Make Coffee explores the scientific principles behind the
art of coffee making, along with step-by-step instructions of all
the major methods, and which beans, roast, and grind are best for
them. This book also covers topics such as: The history of the bean
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.

Did you know that coffee was recommended as protection against the
bubonic plague in the seventeenth century? Or that tea was believed
to make men 'unfit to do their business' and blamed for women
becoming unattractive? On the other hand, a cup of chocolate was
supposed to have exactly the opposite effect on the drinker's sex
life and physical appearance. These three beverages arrived in
England in the 1650s from faraway, exotic places: tea from China,
coffee from the Middle East and chocolate from Mesoamerica.
Physicians, diarists and politicians were quick to comment on their
supposed benefits and alleged harmfulness, using newspapers,
pamphlets and handbills both to promote and denounce their sudden
popularity. Others seized the opportunity to serve the growing
appetite for these newly discovered drinks by setting up coffee
houses or encouraging one-upmanship in increasingly elaborate
tea-drinking rituals. How did the rowdy and often comical initial
reception of these drinks form the roots of today's enduring
caffeine culture? From the tale of the goatherd whose animals
became frisky on coffee berries to a duchess with a goblet of
poisoned chocolate, this book, illustrated with eighteenth-century
satirical cartoons and early advertisements, tells the
extraordinary story of our favourite hot drinks.
