Mr. Wiggles posted:Just the standard blend. And I like it because it tastes like good New Orleans chicory coffee but with a deeper, richer taste to it. And I want to figure out how to roast it at home so that it will be even better. Speaking of chicory, I have some fantastic childhood memories of drinking it but I'm not sure if I should pick up a can. Does it need to be au lait or can I drink it black first thing in the morning? What should I get if I want to do a trial?

Has anyone used tonx.org or could recommend a coffee-by-mail service? I'm thinking about asking for a Tonx membership for Xmas. All I want is something that's an improvement on supermarket whole bean bags. E: I would love to visit a local roaster but Torrance, California is an empty sea of chains.

a handful of dust posted:Thanks, that actually helps. There are a lot of variables to play with, especially if you're used to something like a Keurig. Wasted a tons of beans, but it's getting there. I can actually discern flavor notes other than burnt(starbucks)now. I picked up Trader Joes Dark French Roast because it was $5 and I was curious. Not just French Roast, by the way. DARK french roast. It smells like burning. Not dark roasted beans, or even like Starbucks. Like, a campfire. The next morning. Tasting notes of ashes, char, popcorn accidentally microwaved for a half-hour because you hosed up the timer and then fell asleep.

Coffee is the New Wine Lets take all the worst parts of wine snobbery and apply them to COFFEE. Basically this article made me feel like a douchebag.

So a NYT reporter spends three days learning to pull espresso like a nerd. And after an entire weekend of hardcore coffee geekery it turns out that:quote:Great, I am improving. But this is impractical. I buy my coffee preground. I don’t own a scale. ...no one ever told him that he had to grind immediately before brewing for decent results.
