1. Spill the Beans by Lani Kingston
One of the things I love about coffee is how versatile it is as a drink. Even though I am probably going to get the same caramel mocha from Dutch Bros every time I go, it doesn't mean I don't have the option for something different. And that's what I love about Spill the Beans - it looks into coffee culture from around the world, and provides recipes to try out traditional coffee drinks that aren't the norm here. It's a fun globe-trotting adventure a reader can take without ever leaving their kitchen while learning about how coffee is enjoyed worldwide.
Spill the Beans is available through gestalten
2. Uncommon Grounds by Mark Pendergrast
When people make their morning cup of coffee, the last thing on their minds is the vast history that led to having a cup of comfort every morning. And yet, the history of coffee is a fascinating read that spans centuries. Uncommon Grounds makes this history fun to read, and you'll walk away with more knowledge and plenty of fun facts to sprinkle on the coffee drinkers in your life.
Uncommon Grounds is available through Hachette Book Group
3. No More Mr. Chai Guy by JP Sterling
A coffee book list would not be complete without a romance book with a coffee pun, and there are plenty of them out there. But No More Mr. Chai Guy is the first in a novella series - and each one has a coffee pun! I had to add it. In addition, these books are cute fast reads, and the main characters are all regulars at their local coffee shop. I loved this twist on a coffee shop romance, as they normally focus on the owners, and it gave a sense of realism to the books. So if you want a coffee-themed book you can read in its totality today, check this one out.
