Wow, definitely bookmarking this thread. I was hoping it would generate some interest and we’d get lots of great tips for buying, grinding, brewing, etc., good coffee. And did we ever! Thanks to all.
BTW, did anyone ever watch “Dangerous Grounds?” Kind of gimmicky, but it kept me tuned in every week. The gimmick was that the host would travel to sketchy parts of the world to score what he thought were some of the best coffee beans in the world. Supposedly, you couldn’t get these beans anywhere else because few people were willing to risk their lives just to get a truckload or two of rare beans.
