This perennial bestseller is all you need to enter the world of coffee-based drinks. Christie and Thomas Katona draw on experience as well as their own unique research to bring you this wide and varied collection of beverages, including
- espressos,
- cappuccinos,
- lattes,
- Italian sodas,
- cold drinks for hot summer days,
- and spirited drinks for cold winter nights.

This book gives U.S. coffee lovers hundreds of recipes with which to become coffee’d out! I particularly found the section on espresso, as well as Cappuccino, good. In Australia we have always had a strong coffee culture, based largely on the European experience, and therefore most of the recipes here will remain untried by me.
The book should interest most American coffee lovers with all those flavour variations for their coffee, and for all other coffee lovers, this book will be fun to own as a keepsake and curio on coffee.

Bought several items in this order. They all did not ship at the same time, but they were all received in a very timely manner. I still rate Amazon and their 3rd party marketers as the BEST of any of the many online and shopping networks from which I have made purchased via computer.

This is a great book. If you want lattes, cappuccino’s, espresso’s, this is the book for you. This is not a fancy compodium on these types of beverages but a put together, straight forward book on coffee based drinks. The authors set out to create a one stop shop of recipes for coffee drinkers of all kind, they did just that. This book does not tease, does not antagonize and is simple as it was intended. The recipes are great (but you know what you like– you can try and tweak them here and there if you wish).
If you want a Book of delicious recipes to warm your body, and not a Jungle of snobbery you have to decipher to get a cup of heaven, then this book is for you. Easy and practical. Straight to the point. All books should be so generous.
Enjoy.
