The New Art of Coffee

Coffee lovers: here are recipes and inspiration for every taste, mood, and complexity, making for the perfect coffee drink for each moment of the day.

While the popularity of craft cocktails and home bartending have helped people create their own drink-driven memories, the possibilities for coffee have remained rather tame. Much more than a guide to beans or brewing, The New Art of Coffee shares how to create inspiring concoctions and flavor profiles from comforting and rejuvenating to celebratory and adventurous.

Nearly fifty recipes paired with beautiful photography will inspire and offer something for every taste and time of day—hot, iced, carbonated, post-workout, decaffeinated, alcoholic, and deconstructed. Organized by mood, the recipes range in complexity from a quick quaff to a showstopping slow build, allowing readers to match the drink with the moment.

Enjoy a Moonwater with breakfast, a Throw Em’ A Haymaker after a hard workout, or an Amuse as a happy-hour delight. The Don is the ideal after-dinner companion, and there’s nothing quite like powering down with a Windmill Cookie Steamer after a long day.

Review

"What Ryan has contributed to the coffee industry with this book is truly magnificent. His fanatical approach to composition, from his early day "concoctions" to details of texture, flavor, and aroma are a true example of how far the medium of coffee can be taken. The New Art of Coffee is amazingly comprehensive, from the history of the American Coffee Movement to modern day interpretations. A must for aspiring coffee professionals." --Frankie Solarik, owner of BarChef (Toronto)
