shotzombies — It comes as no surprise that Ben & Jerry’s would like to capitalize on the lucrative coffee market, joining other global corporations such as McDonalds and Subway.

muddydogcoffee.wordpress — While I go off on a lot of crazy tangents here, I’ve never talked about wine. Till now. In most categories of things to put in your mouth, I prefer the unusual. Things that are different.  And so it is with wine. Years ago, I was introduced to Pinotage.  Pinotage is a...

jimseven — I was at Tea Smith yesterday and I was very much enjoying the tea I was drinking, and the owner remarked that they were his favourite cups to drink from. “The lip” he said, “disappears!” So I grabbed 7 of them and took them in to work.  We’d talked about...

chemicallyimbalanced — the thing about syphon brewing is that it is both all the rage (in specialty circles) and completely unknown (to most consumers). it’s an eye-catcher, like certain espresso machines, but completely anti-industrial and pleasantly simple. it offers itself as a bit of glass-and-liquid bar art, then reveals itself as a...

jimseven — I read quite a lot of blogs. Actually that is probably a half truth. I subscribe to a huge number of blogs and often skip through postings that don’t immediately grab me. This one I read, and it lead me to this post. I’m sure it is no...

coffeecupnews — This is a taste test of the coffee that we roasted in yesterdays episode.

shotzombies — You can argue that with burrs this worn I should have figured it out sooner, and you’d probably be right. But in my defense, this sort of damage doesn’t happen overnight. It’s a gradual process, with nearly imperceptible changes occurring very slowly. MoJoToGo noticed though, and quickly isolated worn burrs as the...

jimseven — This post is a result of the rather excellent post on Chemically Imbalanced. I’m grateful to Ben at CI for consistently writing such good stuff, even if it takes three goes to understand every sentence. His latest post is great. It raises, to me, a few rather uncomfortable thoughts...

jimseven — I’m posting this (with consent of the other conversants) in an effort to kickstart some more open discussion about roasting. Right now there is very little out there when it comes to roasting speciality coffee. I am aware that most of the studies quoted below were probably done...

jimseven — There it is. One of the most often thought, but least often spoken things in coffee.  It is unsaid because it is a phenomenally self righteous thing to say, because it assumes a correct roasting degree.  Roasting too dark is roasting badly.  ”Darker than what?” you may well ask,...
