Literally yesterday I was looking for coffee roasting resources online. What books and/or sites have helped you with your socially acceptable addiction? And it's always good to pick up a little trivia, like where we get "mocha" from :)
And that's about it! Takes some practice to get the roasting just right - but the green coffee beans are so cheap that it's not a huge loss if you mess up a pound or two.
You should try James Hoffman's approach, Jeremy (you can find him on instagram and YouTube). He does all what you say but adds one crucial element: after letting the coffee sit for four minutes, he removes the foam and excess grounds from the top of the French press and lets it sit for ANOTHER six minutes. I have found this method even better than the traditional way.
My relationship with coffee has always been one of embattlement. I love the scent and taste of coffee, sadly my stomach takes an opposite approach than my brain, so I cannot have it.

I shoulda guessed that AOM would have had a piece :)

Have you ever tried Pergamino coffee? Colombian coffee that tastes like no other.
I love my Ember too! Pricey, but well worth it.
Another great book that deals with coffee is the Coffee Trader by David Liss. Great mystery on how coffee was introduced to Europe.
Awesome, I'll have to try that! Thanks for the book rec too.
