Rule 12: the cremina. No machine needed.
A letter from Nino

In Naples, nobody pays seven dollars for a coffee

They make it at home, on a little aluminum pot, for cents. And it's better than most cafés sell.

The beans aren't special. The pot isn't special. What's different is the care: the water, the flame, the moment you take the pot off the heat, the little cup warmed first. Small things, done the same way every day.

Most of us here do it the other way around. We pay for the cup, the line and the logo, five days a week, and the coffee at home tastes bitter, so we go back to the café. I wrote down every rule, so you can stop doing that.

— Nino

What's inside

A code, not a cookbook

Everything has a number. In the videos I say "rule 7" or "drink #34". This book is where they live.

PART 1

The 21 rules

One short idea each, with the story, the reason it works, the steps in grams, and the mistake most people make.

    PART 2

    80 drinks

    Drinks 1–40 are the Italian bar. 41–80 are the coffee-shop favorites and drinks from around the world, made the Naples way. Each one: what you need, the steps, the cost at home vs at a café, and the rules it uses.

      Is it for you?

      An honest answer

      It's for you if

      • You buy café drinks most days and want to keep that money
      • Your coffee at home tastes bitter, flat or burnt, and you don't know why
      • You own a moka pot (or will buy a $25 one), a French press, or a drip machine
      • You want a cappuccino, a latte or an iced coffee at home without a $500 machine
      • You like knowing the reason behind a rule, not just the rule

      It's not for you if

      • You want to dial in a home espresso machine. This book doesn't cover one.
      • You're after latte art or café competition techniques
      • You never drink coffee at home and don't plan to

      Who's Nino?

      Naples-born, 40 years in Philadelphia

      Nino grew up in Naples, where coffee is made at home on a moka pot and drunk standing at the bar in three sips. For forty years in America he has watched people pay café prices for coffee that's worse than what his grandmother made on her stove.

      On his YouTube channel he shows one rule at a time. This book is all of them, in one place.

      Questions

      Before you buy

      Do I need an espresso machine?

      No. Everything is made with a moka pot (a 3-cup one costs about $25), and many drinks also work with a French press or a drip machine. The book explains what a moka can and can't do compared with a café machine.

      What else do I need?

      A pot, your stove, ground coffee from the supermarket, and a cup. Milk drinks use a $10 hand frother or a jar with a lid. Tool 8 is a full shopping list, and every item is optional except the pot.

      Is it a real book or a PDF?

      A 158-page PDF, delivered by email as soon as you pay. It reads well on a phone or tablet, and the tools are made to print.

      Are the measurements American?

      Yes: grams for the coffee (with tablespoons), and cups, ml, and °F next to °C.

      Is "up to $2,000 a year" real?

      It's the book's own sum, for a flavored latte every day: $5.95 × 365 = $2,172 at the café, against about $0.57 a cup, or $208 a year, at home. That's about $1,960 kept. A plain latte five days a week keeps about $1,190. The calculator above does the math for your drink.

      What if I don't like it?

      Email contact@ninoscarpati.com within 30 days of buying and you get a full refund. No questions, no forms.

      Do I get updates?

      Yes. New drinks and new editions are free, at the same link you bought from.
