A Guide To Making Coffee

Courtesy of Harvey comes this post on the making of good coffee. Add it to this post from BloodSpite on coffee and I think we are off to a good start.

My only disagreement with the first article is on beans. Beans do count, but he is right that we don't always get the good beans. It is fun to try different and new beans, and I have found that a good way to do so is to find an independent coffee place, especially one that does its own roasting. Such people are usually fanatical enough to do the work necessary to get good beans, and then do them right. As real coffee spreads, even grocery megastores are starting to get smart on the matter. Take the time and explore, because good coffee should be as rich and complex in taste as a good wine or single malt.

That reminds me, time to go get some good coffee...
