Publisher's Synopsis
Clean Shots is a minimalist guide to mastering espresso and iced Americanos-with precision, clarity, and intention.
Written for home baristas, coffee obsessives, and those tired of fluff-filled coffee books, this guide strips away the noise and delivers real technique.

You'll learn:
How to dial in with purpose-adjusting grind, dose, time, and temp with confidence
What makes a great iced Americano (and why most miss the mark)
How to fix sour, bitter, or flat shots with one variable at a time
How roast, region, and process shape every flavor in your cup
How to track your shots with bean logs that make great results repeatable
Whether you're using a high-end espresso machine or just beginning your journey, this book hands you the tools-not hype-for creating espresso that's clean, balanced, and unmistakably yours.
No milk, no syrups, no nonsense. Just espresso-refined.
