Let There Be Coffee

Let There Be Coffee is the culmination of Emanuelis Ryklys' years of working, experimenting, and playing with coffee — from the raw bean to roasting, from tasting to food pairings, from well-known products to original recipes and tools. Ryklys, founder of Crooked Nose & Coffee Stories in Vilnius, Lithuania, demystifies coffee from the ground up: its origins, how it came to Europe, the most popular bean varieties, and what to expect when you place an order at your local shop.

Most importantly, it offers simple, essential directions for brewing a great cup at home — whatever tools you have, whether a Chemex, moka pot, or espresso machine. With full-color photography and subtle illustrations, Let There Be Coffee is as comfortable on the kitchen counter as it is on the coffee table. For the curious, the open-minded, and anyone who relies on at least one hot cup a day.
