A Caffeinated Guide to Pretty Good Coffee at Home

Ben Taylor is a coffee enthusiast, not a coffee snob—though he might geek out over grind sizes and water temperatures like he's prepping for a science fair. With years of trial, error, and just enough caffeine-fueled determination, he's mastered the art of making "pretty good coffee" at home (and sometimes even great coffee).

In Simply Brewed, Ben invites you to ditch the pretension and embrace the joy of crafting coffee your way. Whether you're a French press fanatic, a pour-over perfectionist, or just someone who needs caffeine before 9 a.m., this book is packed with practical tips, no-nonsense advice, and a whole lot of humor.

Discover the basics of beans, brewing, and balancing your morning routine with a great cup of coffee. From troubleshooting watery espresso shots to figuring out if your grinder is sabotaging you, Ben keeps things simple, approachable, and fun—because making coffee shouldn't require a PhD or a second mortgage.

So grab your favorite mug, roll up your sleeves, and get ready to brew coffee that makes you smile. Because if it tastes good, you're already winning.
