The World Atlas of Coffee — 3rd Edition

By James Hoffmann

For anyone curious about coffee’s incredible depth, nuance, and possibility — this is the essential book.

In this expanded and fully updated third edition, champion barista and coffee expert James Hoffmann explores every stage of coffee’s journey — from seed to cup — with clarity and precision. New chapters cover decaffeination, steep-and-release brewers, and emerging origins like Australia, Japan, and Puerto Rico.

Hoffmann dives into how origin, harvest, processing, and roasting all shape flavor, giving readers the tools to understand and elevate their daily cup. Organized country by country, this atlas explores the key characteristics, terroirs, and methods that define coffee production in over 35 countries, with insights previously reserved for industry professionals.

Beyond geography, the book also traces the story of espresso’s evolution, the science of brewing, and why supermarket “strength” guides do more harm than good.

Comprehensive yet accessible, The World Atlas of Coffee remains the definitive reference for anyone who loves coffee — from the curious home brewer to the seasoned professional.
