Methods, extraction and the decisions behind a better cup.

Published references

Brewing · 2012 Pour-over Coffee Brewing Professional Techniques Edited by 旭屋出版編集部 A compact technical survey of Japanese pour-over practice, built from professional methods rather than a single universal recipe. Why it belongs here. It documents a brewing culture whose tools and gestures shaped modern specialty coffee, but is still underrepresented in English-language libraries. Brewing · 2019 Coffee Extraction Laws 田口護, 山田康一 Mamoru Taguchi and Koichi Yamada present a structured way to think about extraction and the choices that shape a brewed cup. Why it belongs here. It offers a Japanese technical perspective on brewing as a system of understandable relationships rather than a recipe to imitate. Brewing · 2020 The Study of Coffee 堀口俊英 A structured study of coffee that brings the path from production to preparation and sensory evaluation into one frame. Why it belongs here. It treats the cup as the result of linked decisions across the coffee chain rather than isolating brewing from production and perception. Brewing · 2019 How to Brew the World's Most Delicious Coffee 井崎英典 Izaki connects origin, variety and processing with roast, grind and extraction, then turns those six factors into recipes for different preferences. Why it belongs here. Behind its superlative title is a useful argument that the best cup is preference-dependent and must be adjusted deliberately. Roasting · 2003 Mamoru Taguchi's Complete Coffee Guide 田口護 Five practical chapters move from origins and green coffee to a repeatable roasting system, small-roaster operation and brewing. Why it belongs here. It records an influential Japanese attempt to replace opaque craft intuition with a teachable system spanning bean selection to the final cup. Brewing · 2008 The Science of Coffee Tips 石脇智広 A compact illustrated Q&A follows coffee from plant and green bean through grinding, extraction, packaging, distribution and varieties. Why it belongs here. Its value lies less in fixed recipes than in asking what evidence supports familiar advice and where preference still decides the answer. Roasting · 2016 The Science of Coffee: Where Does Deliciousness Come From? 旦部幸博 Eight chapters connect the coffee plant and its history with sensory pleasure, chemical composition, roast transformations and brewing. Why it belongs here. It offers a rare Japanese synthesis that makes research legible to general readers while keeping practical coffee questions in view.
