My Coffee Research
About a year ago, I decided I was interested in learning more about coffee, its origins, home roasting, business aspects, you name it. I have done extensive research from the many great sources on the web and have also accumulated quite a collection of equipment that I use. I have my favorite coffees, opinions on some of the more prominent coffee companies and some recipes for coffee based drinks. I hope you find this interesting as I continue to share new information.
Coffee Topics
I have divided my research into several categories of interest.
- Favorite Links
