this is the necessary corollary to upholding "book culture." if you believe books are a cultured activity for those with high intelligence, empathy, work ethic, desire to learn, or other high-brow drive, there will necessarily be

i highly recommend cupping coffee, or at least trying 2-4 different coffees at the same time. you have to compare them side by side, that's where the notes make themselves apparent. trying only one at a time will not be sufficient as t

a programmer would be offended by "$100/hr for a 2.99 smart phone app?!" those expensive grinders are usually machined in house by small teams. though, i do absolutely agree that there are many coffee things that are way over

if you can find a roaster locally, they will often grind it for you! or if you order via mail, sometimes they'll offer a grind size option

i don't think it matters much beyond getting coffee soon after roast, plus maybe the aesthetic purpose of supporting your local businesses.

eventually the maillard reactions are no longer developing flavors and are just burning. no different than a bagel, pizza, steak, or chocolate.

no way! i drink exclusively light roast espresso. yes, the sourness is pretty much always there. but there's blueberry (my personal favorite), red berries, tea, lemon, cinnamon. getting a balanced light roast espresso requires going mu

i've been doing it without ventilation and i'm really surprised how mild it is. it definitely smells for a few hours, but not bad at all. if it's too bad, i open the door for a few minutes or a window while i'm roasting.

currently my local roaster is in my kitchen! i use a hottop 2k roaster, got it for $600 on craigslist, and get green coffee from sweet marias. so far it's the best cost/return i've gotten yet!

right, and i completely agree on that point. the counter-point is that everybody uses the "taste is subjective" as a bludgeon for there being not quantifiable difference in quality between offerings.

yes, but if minimization is a goal, rather than perfection, it's still a good heuristic. especially when there are better options, namely, paying more to smaller farms that pay better.

sweetmarias.com check out their nostalgia popper. roast your own, it's always fresh. green coffee is ridiculously cheap. if you don't want to work for it, some subscriptions from your favorite local roaster can be a good deal, esp
