I gave my wife a goal... If she wants Espresso at home, she will have to save up for a Rancilio Sylvia. Determined and driven by a need for caffine, she has met her goal... Does anyone know of a book about making coffee and espressso drinks?
PS. I may have asked this before, but I could not find the thread. I'm sorry if this is redundant.

In their excellent chapter on coffee the Modernist Cuisine folks recommend a number of books for further reading, in particular Rao's The Professional Barista's Handbook: An Expert Guide to Preparing Espresso, Coffee, and Tea, and Everything But Espresso: Professional Coffee Brewing Techniques.

Thanks!! The Professional Barista's Handbook has been added to the shopping list.
I also found I Love Coffee! by Susan Zimmer, which is pretty much what I need to keep SWMBO... er LOML happy. Bascially, I need the Bartender's Bible, but for fussy espresso drinks.
