Excellent reading for new baristas When watching YouTube videos is just getting you confused, and you're not quite ready to take time off work to fly to Seattle to attend the class yet, this will answer a lot of questions and keep you going!. Good for newbies Ralph I bought the ebook and found it could be interesting for beginners just getting making a good coffee or espresso. It is easy to understand and the step by step instructions are easy to follow. The only downside I found was that some of the pictures are a little small and pixelated when I enlarged them. The ebook is also a little pricey for what you get.. Amazon Customer said Great book for an astounding price. I can't believe this kindle book is only $8. It's so complete, so helpful, so step-by-step, it should be $100. I did take the 1/"Great book for an astounding price" according to Amazon Customer. I can't believe this kindle book is only $8.

I highly recommend it.. day home barista class at Seattle Barista Academy (which was great, by the way), and this book answered all the questions I had left over. I highly recommend it.
