The Coffee Book: Barista Tips, Recipes, Beans from Around the World by Anette Moldvaer is a comprehensive visual guide to coffee, taking readers from coffee bean to finished brew. Published by DK in 2021, the book covers the history and production of coffee, the characteristics of beans from more than 40 coffee-producing countries, and practical techniques for preparing better coffee at home. The hardcover edition is 224 pages.

The book explores the complete coffee journey, including growing and harvesting, processing, roasting, grinding, cupping, tasting, and brewing. Moldvaer introduces readers to different coffee varieties and regional flavor profiles and uses a coffee taster's wheel to help identify and understand differences in aroma and flavor.

A substantial section focuses on barista techniques and brewing equipment, including espresso machines, French presses, pour-over brewers, AeroPress, siphons, stovetop pots, cold-drip systems, phin filters, and ibriks. Readers also learn about espresso extraction, milk steaming, latte art, water, decaffeination, and home roasting.

The recipe section contains 70+ coffee recipes, ranging from classics such as Americano, flat white, and macchiato to more adventurous drinks such as caffè de olla, almond fig latte, hazelnut frappé, and ice maple latte, including dairy-free alternatives.

Moldvaer's professional background gives the book particular authority: she is a co-founder and green coffee buyer at Square Mile Coffee Roasters, a World Cup Tasting Champion, and has judged international coffee competitions.
