I love coffee as much as the next person, I think this would make a great coffee table book or a book for display. It has the proper cover for it and is informative.
Do you want to be the coffee equivalent of a sommelier? Can you taste the difference in flavor notes between java and sumatra? Do you own an espresso maker? Then this is the book for you.
For the more pedestrian among us, it might be overkill. Or something we'd want to YouTube. But for the diehard coffee-holic, it would make a great gift.
Thanks to the publishers and NetGalley for a digital ARC for the purpose of an unbiased review.
Oh man, if you’re as big on caffeine as I am (I can’t live without the stuff) then you NEED this book. I love coffee, but I’m a noob when it comes to the finer points of coffee – like how to grind it, and brew it properly and all that stuff, mostly I just drink it and call it good, because I need the sweet, sweet caffeine. But if you want to get into the nitty gritty, and become a full-on coffee snob, this book is a complete 101 course on how to grind your beans, how to tell one roast from another, what flavors you can find from what region, the best ways to brew what sort of grounds, etc. etc. Plus, recipes! So many recipes for delicious sounding drinks that’ll cost you 6 bucks when you buy them from the fancy-schmancy café downtown, but likely will only cost you only 50 cents to make yourself. So if you love coffee, but aren’t a total snob, then you should give this book a look-see. Also, there’s a vanilla frappe recipe in here that sounds amazing.
This coffee book includes some delicious looking coffee ideas for the coffee lovers out there. There are 50 choices to pick from that you’ll be able to make it personal and tasty to your liking. This author encourages coffee all day long, not just in the morning. I really enjoyed perusing through this one.
I received a digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
The Coffee Recipe Book by Daniel Lancaster
Just knowing it was about Coffee along with coffee recipes was enough for a must have/read for me.
This went over the different types of coffee giving great details. Then it lead you into some great recipes. There were Dirty Chai Latte, Mint Chocolate Chip Frappe, Iced Coffee Protein Shake, White Russians and many many more recipes! Loved this book.
Every morning I look forward to my cup of coffee. I sip it as I take some time to read a novel and find this to be an excellent way to start a day.
If you would like to have a coffee drink that is a bit fancier, this book contains 50 recipes for just that. One caveat, a number of them seem to depend on having an espresso maker. That said, there are some great looking drinks here including Cafe au Lait, Cold Brew, Scandinavian Coffee, Flat White, Cubano, a number of flavored lattes and frozen drinks like a mocha frappe or an affogato. The book concludes with some coffee cocktail recipes.
In addition to the recipes this title has information on the different coffee roasts, types of grinders for beans, filters, coffee history, coffee makers and more.
If coffee is you thing, you might want to give this title a look.
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest review.

I appreciated the simple breakdown of some of my favorite coffee shop drinks, but I was hoping for more of an at-home approach without the additional appliances needed.
The book had a nice collection of recipes, but they are all easily found in an online search. I also found that many of them required an espresso machine which is not something I have or plan to purchase. I will pass on the book and stick to searching.
Thank you NetGalley and Publisher for this early copy!
I'm a coffee lover so The Coffee Recipe Book was perfect for me, I loved the graphics/font and I'm looking forward to trying out some of the coffee recipes soon!
5/5 Stars.
The Coffee Recipe Book is way more than just a recipe book. It includes information about different coffee roasts, coffee history, and different ways to brew coffee as well some great recipes. If you are a coffee lover, you will enjoy this book and the recipes.
This wasn't anything you couldn't find by googling "coffee recipes." A good collection nonetheless, but it is hard to see who would put down money for this.
It would make a good gift if you know someone who loves coffee but needs to stop going to Starbucks
The Coffee Recipe Book by Daniel Lancaster is a great references for anyone who enjoys coffee. I found this book very easy to understand. The information on coffee types and coffee makers really helps to understand how to makes the best coffee at home. My favorite part was the recipes for flavored coffee, both hot and cold. I love iced or blended mochas, now I can make them. The book also includes coffee alcohol drinks too. I highly recommend this enjoyable book.
I reviewed a digital arc provided by NetGalley and the publisher. Thank you.
Unique recipes involved coffee flavors. Some recipes are easy to make. Some a little harder but interesting enough to try.
I like the sweets including coffee a lot!
An interesting little book with lots of background on various types of coffee and brewing methods. The author’s voice is very personable and engaging. I can’t wait to try some of the recipes!
This recipe book is not only very useful and informative, but also super cute! I love the drawings interspersed throughout the pages. It contains some information about the history of coffee, as well as the different types of roasts and brewing methods.
The recipes range from very easy to more complex - there's definitely something for everyone! Whether you are a coffee aficionado looking to perfect your drinks or a more casual coffee drinker looking for some at home recipes, I think you will enjoy this book and find it very useful.
Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for gifting me a copy to review, all opinions are my own.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re looking for a book on how to make homemade coffee drinks and therefore saving yourself the extra money, instead of spending it on overpriced drinks at coffee shops... then this is your book! This book initially caught my eye because I loved the illustration on the cover and I’m a HUGE coffee drinker. I love how it’s much more then just a cookbook by any means. The author begins by writing out a detailed history of how coffee got its hype over the years and how it started, the instruments of making coffee, what types of coffee produce which aroma/flavor and where they are imported from, the elements of coffee, the importance of the type of water you use to make the coffee, how the cup you choose can effect how your coffee taste, the effect of buying pre-grinder beans or if you choose to grind them yourself, and so much more. I would have never known that there was so much that went into making a simple cup of coffee!! The author after giving you the background knowledge to exceed in making yourself the perfect cup, then explores various coffee types that you can make yourself at home which simple ingredients. Whether your into lattes, the trending cold brew, Bulletproof coffee, espresso, frappes, etc. there are tons of recipes for one to try.
What did I like about the book? I liked that is compact, cute and has great recipes. There are 50 coffee and espresso drinks that you can save money on because you can make it at home! There are recipes that can be consumed day or night! It does not matter if you want to use beans or already ground up grounds. Beans are the best way to go but if you don't have time to ground up your coffee, just make sure that your grounds are fresh!
You can make coffee-based drinks, classic espresso drinks, flavored lattes, frozen drinks, and milkshakes and if you are daring, coffee cocktails! All in a little book with 50 recipes! I am a coffee drinker and love a different drink in the evening. I have a latte machine and can froth milk so I love the recipes in this book and can't wait to try them.
If like me you love a variety, then get this little book that can be kept next to the coffee pot!
