Customer Reviews

drink up!

I bought this little book about 5 years ago, and love going back to it for different drink ideas. It provides a basic background on coffee and the different types of espresso-based drinks. It's great to get my creativeness going on new recipes. Nice to keep around if you're throwing a party and need some new interesting drink ideas. Also provides alcoholic versions.

The big little book of coffee beverages

I really liked this book. I was looking for a coffee recipe book and for me this is it! It even helped me develop my own recipes. I would recommend this book to every one.

Just what I was wanting!!!

This is a great book for someone with a home espresso machine!! The book is great for people who are just starting out and want to have some variety to their drinks. There is a little bit of everything in here - hot espresso drinks, iced espresso drinks, holiday drinks, espresso drinks with "spirit". There are even drinks for the kids - shakes, floats, and steamers. My kids (17yo, two 6yo, 3 yo, and 16mo) have already tried one or two of the steamers and love them (ok - so the baby hasn't had any yet)!! They think they are drinking coffee just like mommy since it's made with the same machine I use for my espresso drinks. The book looks great to sit on my coffee table as decoration and then easy to grab when I want to use it to make my coffee in the mornings.

Great collection for Amateurs!

My husband just bought himself a barista and has been having a blast with this recipe book! He's bought so many of the syrup flavors that we're getting a wine rack to store them. We haven't tried all the drinks yet, but so far we haven't been disappointed with any of them.
