“When I began in the coffee business fourteen years ago, I read every book I could find about coffee. After reading all of those books, however, I felt as if I hadn’t learned much about how to make great coffee. My coffee library was chock-full of colourful descriptions of brewing styles, growing regions, and recipes, with a few almost-unreadable scientific books mixed in. I would have traded in all of those books for one serious, practical book with relevant information about making great coffee in a café. Fourteen years later, I still haven’t found that book. I know many other professionals as well as some obsessive nonprofessionals would like to find that same book I’ve been looking for. This book is my attempt to give it to them.“

What others say about it THE PROFESSIONAL BARISTA'S HANDBOOK 

It covers the fundamental knowledge that every successful barista must know, and does so in a succinct and thorough manner. My thanks to Scott for agreeing to share the introductory chapter.

The Professional Barista’s Handbook is an interesting attempt by Scott Rao - American consultant in the USA coffee business - to provide a 360° view on the art of being a barista. Indeed, it is a collection of most of the things a barista should know if s/he wants to define her/himself a real professional barista.
