I Love Coffee! Over 100 Easy and Delicious Coffee Drinks by Susan Zimmer

My book’s espresso and coffee recipes have been creatively designed, customized, and
collected from various sources during my twenty-plus years in the coffee business—with
the assistance of many and the inspiration of others. “Espresso thanks” to every
individual involved in my journey, including my customers, coffee suppliers, and
employers, for the knowledge, opportunities, and friendships I have gained.
Instead of claiming that I’m a coffee expert, I am very grateful for my überpassionate
espresso enthusiasm and inquisitive curiosity for coffee information inherited over the last
twenty years, which involves: family ties with my professionally trained “chef” relatives in
Germany (who are always drinking Kaffee), and uncommon ties with people who have
crossed my synchronistic coffee-life path.
There are others, closer to this book, by whom I feel blessed and to whom I extend a
genuine heartfelt thank-you:
Bob (Bobbie) Morisset, my “spirit of significance,” with whom I share my life. Without
his stellar support, eternal optimism, and great patience, this project would have been
much more difficult to complete.
My coffee-loving editor, Jean Z. Lucas (who actually went into labor with her first child
at a Starbucks!), and her team at Andrews McMeel who have patiently and passionately
worked with me in the evolution of this “cutting-edge” book.
I am expressly grateful to Albert Zuckerman, my literary agent at Writers House, in
New York, and his assistant, Maya Rock, who both love coffee!
(Why, in the name of Juan Valdez, does one serendipitously encounter others who help
one to better know oneself? Everyone I attracted along the way of conceiving and
developing this book loved coffee! The coincidences I have experienced along my coffee
life journey have certainly been God’s way of being anonymous, for which I’m truly
grateful.)
My sincere appreciation to all of the manufacturers and companies credited in “Sources
and Resources” for providing the recipe submissions and technical information needed to
create this book. I also give great thanks to Maryann Oletic, Robin Jay, Amanda Stajan,
Frank Roberts, and Sammy Piccolo; all the gals at Alberta Women Entrepreneurs; and
many of my cherished customers and friends who deserve much credit for their being
