Cappuccino & Espresso (Nitty Gritty Cookbooks)

Good recipes

Good basic guide - exactly what I was looking for.

My husband just bought himself a barista and has been having a blast with this recipe book! He's bought so many of the syrup flavors that we're getting a wine rack to store them. We haven't tried all the drinks yet, but so far we haven't been disappointed with any of them.

There is no one photo in the whole book, this is very strange regarding a book for beverages.The explanation about beverages including espresso, cappuccino and latte, not bad, but not more than good as a Best rate.As summary, you can solve some inquiry with this book.

I loved all the recipes that I found in this book. There is something for the entire family to enjoy this holiday.

Clear and simple recipes for hot drinks as well as floats, shakes, and smoothies. The perfect book for beginners and expert baristas.

Let me state right upfront, this is not a bad book it just isn't what I hoped for. If you strive to recreate what can be had at Starbucks & CO this book is for you. If you however want to learn how to make the various coffees unique to Europe this book will disappoint. You will look in vain for the Viennese Melange, the Greek Cafe Frappe, or a Turkish Coffee. A rather meager handful of Italian Coffee's are the only real coffee's in this book. Everything else is flavor syrup this, and fudge that, with a scoop of Rocky Road on top, exactly the stuff I am tired of.

Handy companion if you're looking for additional coffees to your drinks menu.The book has no pictures to go with the recipes, which is a pitty. Nevertheless, useful.
