Product Information

Although there is no replacement for hard work and experience, these five books will give you some insight into how to make a very difficult business model work. Generous with his insider tips, he covers the ingredients themselves (water isn't the simple commodity you might think it is), design, business planning and staff. The lessons, stories and guidelines in this richly illustrated book offer a unique and honest insight into the day-to-day realities of what many people see as their dream job.

His work in coffee has extended to roasting, training and consultancy work, as well as developing coffee equipment for the specialty market and beyond. It just didn't have a complex enough plot for me, and it's really obvious what is going to happen in the book before it happens. This is great if you want a quick overview of the industry (even though it has developed since the book was published) and want to understand a bit more about how it has developed. Their philosophies of 'working out your why' at the outset and creating a 'guest avatar' have given me real clarity and focus at my early stage of planning and writing a business plan. YAZMINA, a young pregnant woman stolen from her remote village and now abandoned on Kabul’s violent streets.To thank Fixie for her quick thinking, the computer’s owner, Sebastian, an investment manager, scribbles an IOU on a coffee sleeve and attaches his business card.

So the characters in this story can time travel but only to the relatively recent past and they have to sit in a specific seat at a specific table - which they can’t leave once they time travel, which means they can’t leave the cafe - and only for the duration it takes for a coffee to cool, after which you have to drink it down or else risk turning into a ghost forever burdened to haunt the cafe. There were plot points I wanted to read more about that kind of disappeared or brought to an end with a single sentence.But beyond the surface, there were a lot of relatably resonating themes that made Legends and Lattes so precious. From cutting-edge newcomers to hidden gems, the cafés included in this book represent the best of London's flourishing coffee culture.
