Coffee is an extraordinary beverage in every respect: a small marvel of engineering, chemistry, and physics, capable of exalting the senses. Chocolate, toasted bread, caramel, flowers, and fruit are just some of the aromas released from a cup of coffee. Sometimes additional flavours and aromas blend with the taste of coffee in a perfect balance, and thus are born the exclusive recipes of the University of Coffee, collected for the first time in this volume. Timeless classic recipes, special cold and hot preparations, and refined cocktails, all matched with precious images and practical explanations. An entertaining manual dedicated to all those who love coffee and who look forward to delighting the palate: those of their friends as well as their own. AUTHOR: Illycaffe.
