I’d hoped there’d been more recipes. This book gives very basic information and shows little creativity. Explore further if you’re wanting a real recipe book to make flavored coffees. Rating: 2 / 5

I just bought an espresso machine, because I was spending more money on starbucks and dunkin donuts than I do on cigarettes. . . So, got the machine used coarsly ground beans, and I got the weakest shot of espresso ever. . . I brewed with a ese cert pod and the espresso was so yummy, thought to myself i wonder why that is. . . so i broke open the pod and dicovered OHHHHHHHH, i’m supposed to have these beans ground as fine as beach sand. . . so once i got all that figured out, i was thinking whats the differance between a latte and a cappuccino? and just generally wondering what kind of recipes i could make with the espresso. . . went to B&N this was the only book they had, so i bought it. . . read the two maybe three pages of recipes that i was curious about and the book sat on my counter next to the espresso machine for a few weeks untouched. . . I’m not saying that i wasted my money on the book, i wanted a book now! and bought the book, learned the three things i could’ve just searched online for. . . . now i’m going to look for a espresso book with more recipes because i’m so addicted to espresso now. . . it’s 90-95% cheaper than going to shops and buying coffee. . . . . . MMMMM latte. . . . . Rating: 3 / 5
