The Business of Specialty Coffee
Step into the world of specialty coffee with Maxwell Dashwood's "The Business of Specialty Coffee." Beyond sips and aromas, this book delves deep into the commercial side of coffee.
Structured in eight comprehensive parts, the book begins with an overview of the specialty coffee industry, moving to the nitty-gritty of doing business, understanding wider market forces, values, branding, marketing, strategies, and concludes with Dashwood's thoughts on the future of this ever-evolving market.
For Maxwell’s best-selling book I was responsible for the cover idea and concept, painting the original work and then designing the layout for the full book, including charts, graphs and info-graphics as well as full typesetting.

Water for Coffee
Water can transform the character of a coffee. It can accentuate its acidity, or wipe it out entirely. It can increase or decrease body, change extraction. It affects the way we roast and the way we brew.
For Maxwell and Christopher’s second edition of this groundbreaking work, I was responsible for the typesetting and design of charts and info-graphics throughout the book.
