I Love You a Latte: A Celebration of Coffee

Coffee: It’s a top source of antioxidants, a jump start to conversation and connection, and the preferred caffeine ritual of more than 1 billion people around the world.

It’s time there was a proper love letter to this small-but-mighty magic bean. With coffee puns, quotes, facts, and other caffeinated pick-me-ups, I Love You a Latte: A Celebration of Coffee is the perfect gift for the cold brew connoisseur, flat white fanatic, or regular old drip coffee devotee in your life. A perfect book for summer reading.

Fully illustrated by Marina Oliveira of Cottonflower Studio, the contents range widely from facts (such as, how to say ＂coffee＂ in 16 of the world’s most spoken languages and stats on the health benefits of coffee) and artful diagrams (a comparison chart on milk-to-coffee ratios in espresso drinks, ＂The Little Illustrated Coffeemaker Guide＂), to quotes, puns, and other treats (sweet renderings of different styles of coffee shops and a ＂What coffee mug are you?＂ spread). There are even recipes for delicious drinks like a Honey-Spiced Latte and a Frosty Caramel Cappuccino.

With every page packed with charming illustrations and new reasons to love coffee, readers might find themselves asking... ＂Where have you bean all my life?＂
