From the Author

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

My book's espresso and coffee recipes have been creatively designed, customized and collected from various sources during my twenty-plus years in the coffee business - with the assistance of many and the inspiration of others.

"Espresso thanks" to every individual involved in my journey, including my coffee-loving customers, coffee suppliers, and employers, for the knowledge, opportunities, and friendships I have gained.

I am very grateful for my ueberpassionate espresso enthusiasm and inquisitive curiousity for coffee information inherited over the last twenty years, which involves: family ties with my professionally trained "chef" relatives in Germany (who are always drinking: Das Kaffee), and uncommon ties with people who have crossed my synchronistic coffee-life path.

There are others, closer to this book, by whom I feel blessed and to whom I extend a genuine heartfelt 'thank-you':
Bob (Bobbie) Morisset, my "spirit of significance", with whom I share my life. Without his stellar support, eternal optimism, and great patience, this project would have been much more difficult to complete.

My coffee-loving editor, Jean Z. Lucas (who actually went into labor with her first child at a Starbucks!), and her team at Andrews McMeel who have patiently and passionately worked with me in the evolution of this "cutting-edge" coffee book.

I am expressly grateful to Albert Zuckerman, my literary agent at Writers House, in New York, and his assistant, Maya Rock, who both love coffee!
(why in the name of Juan Valdex, does on serendipitously encounter others who help one to better know oneself?) Everyone I attracted along the way of conceiving and developing this book loved coffee! The coincidences I have experienced along my coffee-life journey have certainly been God's way of being anonymous, for which I'm truly grateful.)

My sincere appreciation to all of the manufacturers and companies credited in "Sources and Resources" (at back of the book) for providing some recipe submissions and technical information needed to create this book. I also give great thanks to Maryann Olectic, Robin Jay, Amanda Stajan, Frank Roberts and Sammy Piccolo; and all the gals at Alberta Women Entrepreneurs and many of my cherished customers and friends who deserve much credit for their being supportive and interconnected. I hope anyone, or any group, that has been overlooked will forgive me for the apparent perils to list one and all.

For more spiritual and synergistic awards, I thank my coffee-loving family: my father-now Guardian Angel -Albert Zimmer, who taught me at a very young age that in life we can have a "Taster's Choice" (that was his coffee of choice!); my mother, Rose Zimmer, who taught me "where's there's a will, there's a way" and to also "never give up"; my only sister, Sonia, who taught me to "trust in all that is good", and my Earth Angel children- my two daugthers and my three stepchildren (our Brady Bunch family) and many precious grandchildren (now 10 and still counting!).

Last but not least, thank you, coffee-loving reader - although apart, you are my friend whom I have not yet met. Cheers! I raise my cup also to those hopeless coffee romantics who were the first to sip steamed milk combined with espresso!
-Susan Zimmer-Morisset

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Introductory Coffee Book
Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2011

If you love coffee as much as I do, and had to have one essential coffee book, this "I Love Coffee!" book by Susan Zimmer fits the bill. This book has basically everything you need to know about coffee - chapters on coffee beans, brewing techniques, and various coffee machines and equipment. One of my favorite parts is the section on how to make Latte Art. A few weeks ago, my sister took me to one of the best coffee places in the world, Crema in Nashville, Tennessee. As an early birthday present, my sister took me to Crema because I mentioned singer Kelly Clarkson's photo and short description of the Latte Art coffee she posted on her Facebook page while visiting Crema in Nashville, Tennessee. That place had a long line of customers. And by tasting their coffee, I can see why Crema is a popular place. I met Lacey, the barista who made the leaf design in Kelly's Latte Art coffee. I also talked to Mark, another barista there. If Mark and Lacey ever bump into Kelly Clarkson again, they can now tell her that two Asian-American women from the Midwest went to Crema because of Kelly Clarkson's Facebook recommendation for Crema. Anyways, my sister and I had leaf designs in our Cuban coffee. And Crema had many specialty coffee drinks that would make the author Susan Zimmer proud. If I lived in Nashville, I would definitely go to Crema every week. I took pictures of the Latte Art coffees my sister and I had at Crema - Latte Art is so beautiful. And I appreciate all the beautiful Latte Art pictures in Susan Zimmer's book as well. I really like the cover of this book, the combination of heart and leaf design in the coffee. That definitely takes some skill to create that leaf and heart design combination. It's been quite a while since I've watched Krzysztof Kieslowski's movie, "Blue". But there were a few scenes in that movie where Juliette Binoche's character, Julie, is drinking coffee and eating ice cream with the coffee, slowly putting a sugar cube in her coffee, etc. There are times in that film when she seems to be staring blankly as if hypnotized for a long time at her coffee mug or playing with her coffee spoon. Let's just say Juliette Binoche's character spends a lot of alone time at the French cafe or bistro she regularly goes to, and she's rarely smiling, always deep in thought while dealing with her depression, sadness, solitude, independence, and loneliness at the same time. I then think of this Latte Art, and imagine all the people across the world staring at the Latte Art he or she has purchased. I wonder if the character, Julie, in Krzysztof Kieslowski's "Blue" would have smiled once if she had a Latte Art coffee. In my opinion, I think she would. Let's just say if you want to put a smile on someone's face and lift someone's spirits up, buy him or her Latte Art coffee. You can stare for several minutes with a smile on your face with Latte Art, because it's awesome "artwork". If you love the recipes from Susan Zimmer's "I Love Coffee" book, besides going to Crema in Nashville, Tennessee, I highly recommend going to Baileys' Chocolate Bar in St. Louis, Missouri. Some of the recipes from this book remind me of the drinks my sister and I had at Baileys' Chocolate Bar in St. Louis. Baileys' Signature Chocolate Bar Martinis are awesome! Both Crema and Baileys' Chocolate Bar are "I just died and went to Heaven" places. If you have a Bucket List, those two places should be on your list, seriously. I like the fact that there is a Coffee-o-logy glossary near the back of this book. And recipes for various coffee syrups and whipped creams as well. And I like that there are many drink recipes in this book. My favorite recipes from this book are: "Rolo"-Way Latte (I also tried a Rolo McFlurry at a McDonald's in Nashville, TN. as well - not bad.), Sciampagna Latte, Vietnamese Iced Coffee, Chocolate Kiss Iced Coffee, Cola-Coffee, Cola Coffee Martini, Coffee Sands, Frozen "Thai-ramisu" Martini, and Orient Express Martini. Another good reason to buy this book is that Susan Zimmer is donating a portion of the proceeds from this book to Coffee Kids - an international nonprofit organization dedicated to assisting families in coffee-producing countries. In summary, there are many reasons to buy this book: 1.)Nice pictures of Latte Art and other coffee drinks 2.) Easy-to-understand explanations and introductions to various coffee beans, grinding, brewing processes, coffee machine/equipment, making latte art, etc. 3.) Various recipes for alcoholic and non-alcoholic coffee drinks, syrups, and whipped creams 4.) Coffee-related glossary in the end 5.)This is an affordable book, and part of the proceeds go to a good cause/nonprofit organization. If you know someone who loves coffee, then this would make an excellent gift for him or her. I highly recommend this book!

I bought this book because I want it to open a little coffee shop and it was very informative. Sadly, I end up opening a comfort food restaurant and did not made coffee because clients only asked for sodas and juices. But I kept this book for my personal entertainment. I love making coffee with my friends. This book is not intended to make you a barista over night or at all. It is just for coffee lovers that wants to have a better insight about their favorite drink, well, the whole world favorite drink for that matter, and have a few recipes that are easy to make on their own. This book provided a good insight on the origins of coffee, where it's grown, how it's picked, packaged, and roasted. I recommend it to anyone who wants to know about coffee from someone who really enjoys drinking and making it. It is a nicely presented book with good recipes. It has nice pictures as well, the pictures are one the best appealing of the book, it makes you want it to make all the coffee recipes inside I Love Coffee! Over 100 Easy and Delicious Coffee Drinks. All the recipes have Easy-to-understand explanations and introductions to various coffee beans, grinding, brewing processes, coffee machine/equipment, and making latte art. Not every book is perfect and many will find mistakes or something they would do different because they are baristas or something in between but why they did not wrote a book themselves? I recommend this book for you coffee lover and have some fun.

I just got an espresso machine for the home and was looking for a book to help clarify the different types of coffee drinks I could make. This book provided a good primer on the origins of coffee (where it's grown, how it's picked, packaged, roasted), and the various ways of preparing coffee. She reviews the different types of coffee making apparatus, and their advantages and disadvantages. She discusses espresso as a method, making it at home, and how to make steamed/frothed milk for those types of drinks. There is a glossary for a lot of the varied coffee terms that is really helpful for ordering in coffee shops. While I'm no stranger to order drinks in a Starbucks, there were things in the glossary I'd never heard of, and I will likely try in the future. The remainder of the book is a plethora of coffee drink recipes. My wife is not much of a coffee drinker, but many of these have piqued her interest. This book was fun and the author clearly loves coffee. I recommend it to anyone who wants to know about coffee from someone who really enjoys drinking and making it.

This book was very informative on all kinds of coffee beans, machines, and techniques. I mainly bought it for the recipes in the book, and they did not let down at all. Mind you, you probably will have to go out and buy a few ingredients, but consider this, a bottle of syrup may go for 10 - 15 depending where you go and what brand, but you only use a few oz, so the syrup will last for a while.

This recipe book has saved me so much money and has settled all my cravings even at 2am instead of going out in the morning or waiting in line I can make my beverage in my pjs and continue to enjoy it in such.

I would have liked to seen more on the coffee art, there were only a few pages dedicated to it but overall a GREAT BUY and a must have for anyone starting out making their own specialty coffees.

2.0 out of 5 stars Kaffee als Droge?
Reviewed in Germany on March 8, 2011

Ich gebe zu, ich habe mich etwas schwer getan dieses Buch zu mögen. Die Hintergrundinformationen, die wertvollen Tipps und die Rezepte sind sehr gut recherchiert und zusammengetragen, das muss man der Autorin lassen. Aber die Einleitung hat mich schon fast dazu genötigt das Buch wieder weg zu legen. Denn auf den ersten Seiten findet eine derart übertriebene Glorifizierung des "Kaffeebohnenproduktes" statt daß man schon fast der Meinung wäre die Autorin würde das als einzige Lebensmittelquelle im Universum ansehen und wolle den Lesern eine Gehirnwäsche unterziehen!

Das man Kaffee mag und vielleicht auch etwas mehr mag als andere, schön und gut, aber die Autorin übertreibt es in dem Buch über das erträgliche Maß hinaus.

This book I gave to my dad for a christmas present and he honestly cannot stop making coffee's now. It tells you how to make the basic Latte or Cappucino to more advanced alcoholic coffee's.

Do try the more advanced ones and now when I go shopping I always take this book as it requires some ingredients which we dont normally have or would consider purchasing.

Really Reccomended :)
