A place about coffee for coffee people. An alternate home for the Specialty Coffee weirdos and normal folks alike, united by a shared passion for coffee. This is a space for folks from industry insiders to casual consumers and everyone else in between.
The most common breach of norms is that I brew almost everything at far weaker ratios than is considered normal; I use a 1:22 or so.
My other big sacrilege is that I tend to enjoy almost any coffee I get my hands on. I can tell the difference, I can appreciate fines coffees from finest farms and roasters - but I can also enjoy far more casual coffees and drinks that would be sniffed at by firmest Specialty sacraments.
My SO enjoys a drink from a local shop where they mix cold brew and sparkling water. Definitely not my cup of tea, coffee should not sparkle.
OTOH I was definitely an orange mocha frappucino enjoyer back in the old days.
