Currently reading: Craft Coffee: a Manual by Jessica Easto 📚

Read this a while back, but always good to have a refresher.

☕️ Entered a recently opened shop with Counter Culture Coffee logo on the window. Turns out it was their wholesale department/training center, not a store. They apologized for the confusion and let me take a bag of freshly roasted beans. This is how you get a customer for life.

☕️ After a few decades of making coffee with various techniques (including a dual boiler ECM Synchronika) I realized that:

  • Roast level and freshness: huge!
  • Brew method and grind level: important, but not as much as the above.
  • Burr v. blade, water temp, filter type: meh.
