The magazine of the photo-essay
October 2017 issue
“A free, really high quality photo-essay magazine. Fabulous!”
Stephen Fry. British actor, writer and film maker
by Horst A. Friedrichs
Beautifully illustrated, this book captures the lifestyle of coffee creators and
aficionados, as seen through the lens of acclaimed photographer Horst A. Friedrichs.
For some, coffee is a means of getting through the morning. For others, it is a way of
life. Fascinated by artisanal coffee culture, celebrated photographer Horst A.
Friedrichs turns his lens toward every aspect of coffee--from beans to espresso
machines, and from baristas to consumers. Stepping inside the world's best coffee
shops, Friedrichs shows just how sophisticated the practice of making coffee has
become. Delicious shots of classic drip cones and decades-old Chemex coffee
makers are interspersed with images of beakers filled with dark liquid simmering
over a flame and brewers extracting the perfect concentrate to be poured over ice.
He also captures coffee's fashion aesthetic--from witty and vintage t-shirts to upscale
extracts and felt filters. Nora Manthey's texts profile the leading minds of the third
wave and reveal their transformative craft. As luscious as a freshly poured cup of
espresso, this is a delightfully irresistible book that will be at home on any coffee
table.
