Production · 2025 The World Atlas of Coffee: From Beans to Brewing—Coffees Explored, Explained and Enjoyed James Hoffmann A richly illustrated guide to producing regions and the many agricultural, commercial and practical stages that shape coffee from seed to cup. Why it belongs here. It makes the geography of coffee legible while linking place and history to the production choices and brewing practices behind flavor. 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 · 2015 How to Make Coffee: The Science Behind the Bean Lani Kingston A compact guide that connects the science of coffee with practical instructions for a broad range of home methods. Why it belongs here. It gives curious beginners enough scientific vocabulary to understand why grind, water, temperature and technique change the cup. Brewing · 2014 Coffee Obsession Anette Moldvaer An illustrated journey from growing regions and flavour profiles to home equipment, classic drinks and global recipes. Why it belongs here. It combines an approachable origin atlas with practical technique and a large recipe collection in a highly visual reference. 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. Sensory science · 2024 The Tastes of Coffee: Cultivating Your Senses Pierre de Chanterac, Christophe Servell A French guide that follows flavor from farm and fermentation to cupping, preparation, comparison and the development of sensory attention. Why it belongs here. It makes tasting practical without separating the cup from agriculture and transformation, while arguing against burnt bitterness as coffee's default taste. Production · 2017 The Craft and Science of Coffee Edited by Britta Folmer Twenty specialist chapters connect agricultural, economic, technical and sensory knowledge across the complete coffee value chain. Why it belongs here. Its unusual breadth shows how decisions made at origin, in processing, during roasting and at preparation interact rather than existing as separate crafts. Production · 2018 Dear Coffee Buyer Ryan Brown A former green buyer turns hard-won professional experience into a guide to supply planning, supplier relationships, processing, defects and quality. Why it belongs here. It documents a consequential but often opaque profession and connects decisions at the buying desk with conditions at origin and quality in the warehouse. Production · 2022 Green Coffee: A Guide for Roasters and Buyers Chris Kornman The book follows unroasted coffee from plant and process through physical and sensory evaluation, logistics, storage and the decisions of roasters and buyers. Why it belongs here. It treats green coffee as a changing agricultural material rather than a neutral input and gives roasting and purchasing teams a shared technical vocabulary. Production · 2012 Coffee: Growing, Processing, Sustainable Production Edited by Jean Nicolas Wintgens Forty specialists connect plant science and farm management with processing, defects, shipment, quality assessment and technology transfer. Why it belongs here. Its scale makes origin impossible to treat as a short preface to brewing, while its 2012 evidence base also shows why technical handbooks need continual updating. Production · 2020 Coffee Quality: The Impact of Post-Harvest Processing Michel Barel The book follows quality from competing commercial definitions through dry and wet processing to defects, ochratoxin risk and practical controls. Why it belongs here. It makes post-harvest work visible as a sequence of consequential choices, while offering recommendations that can be checked against newer fermentation and storage research. Production · 2008 Coffee Post-Harvest Edited by Flávio Meira Borém Seventeen chapters connect fruit and seed properties with engineering decisions, waste treatment, drying models, storage pests, fungi and final conditioning. Why it belongs here. It preserves Portuguese-language research and production knowledge at a scale rarely available in general coffee books, while later work shows where the field has advanced. Production · 2018 Green Coffee in a Book Andrej Godina, Alberto Polojac Andrej Godina and Alberto Polojac introduce the raw material through the work of producers, quality controllers and green-coffee traders. Why it belongs here. It gives Italian-speaking coffee professionals a compact bridge between origin, physical grading, sensory evaluation and international trade. Production · 2015 Coffee in the Amazon Edited by Alaerto Luiz Marcolan, Marcelo Curitiba Espindula Fifty-four contributors assemble 21 chapters on the production systems of Rondônia and the wider northern Brazilian context. Why it belongs here. It centers regional public agricultural research and producer decisions while showing why recommendations must be tied to place and date. Production · 2020 Quality Determinants in Coffee Production Edited by Lucas Louzada Pereira, Taís Rizzo Moreira Nine specialist chapters connect farm and post-harvest variables with the chemical, microbial and sensory evidence used to discuss quality. Why it belongs here. It treats quality as an interacting production system rather than assigning a fixed share to origin, processing or roasting in isolation.
