      About the Author

      Introduction

      Most of us need a cup of coffee to get us going in the morning. It is easy just to grab that jar of instant or take whatever brew is in the office cappuccino machine. Basically if it is hot, smells like coffee and gives you the necessary buzz that is all you need. However, by just doing this you are missing out on a whole world of new tastes. With a little information and few gadgets you could be experiencing a whole new world of difference when it comes to fresh coffee.

      There are so many people that are into coffee these days that there is at least 1 Starbucks in most cities across the world. So, if you like to have a latte, cappuccino, espresso or even a flavored coffee such as hazelnut or vanilla, and whether you prefer your coffee surrounded by friends in a coffee shop or on your own at your place of work you should remember that coffee is certainly one of life’s little pleasures.

      Buying cups of coffee in these specialist cafes can work out expensive these days. However, now that you can buy your own roasters, grinders, coffee makers and espresso machines you can enjoy your favorite coffee in your own home for a faction of the cost in cafes. You can even make gourmet coffee after outlaying as little as $20 each for a coffee grinder and coffee maker.

      Real coffee has long been the preserve of a few fanatics who understand the value of freshness and rich aromas. In the past the majority of other people have put up with instant coffee because it has been marketed to them as being both convenient and slightly sophisticated, if not even sexy. Some countries have always taken fresh coffee to heart and it has become a part of their culture. You only have to look at the proliferation of coffee bars in such countries as Spain and Italy. Going to the coffee shop is part of a daily routine. In other countries such as the UK this culture hasn’t really existed up until recently. Now you will find coffee houses down many streets in towns and cities. At lot of these cafes have been provided by big shop chains, which have often come from the US. There are still, however, many independent coffee houses which provide a unique product and atmosphere. With this renewed interest in visiting coffee shops has also come a keen interest in different varieties of coffee as well as the vast amounts of different flavors and aromas that can be created.
