Rockridge Press Coffee Roaster's Handbook: A How-To Guide for Home and Professional Roasters

Fundamentals are well explained.

Does not explain in great detail how to roast coffee, very generic

Beautifully presented, easy to read book filled with well researched information and loads of author experience.

This book is good for a broad overview of coffee but not as much for actual roasting. It misses out completely on explaining important concepts like rate of rise, turn around points, etc. even worse it shows you a graph with some of these terms being used, but then completely fails to explain what they mean.I bought the book to learn about those concepts, but instead it focuses more on coffee as an industry and less on actual roasting.

Excellent! Quick read. Exactly what I was looking for.
