Tonx! Thanks for the great work.

I’d also like to hear about recommended chains. I’m in Columbus, OH and I haven’t been able to find a good local place since I moved from Yellow Springs, OH. (Although I read about one called Stauf’s this AM)

Also I’m looking to get into roasting my own and would like to see some info about that as well. Maybe a follow up week on roasting coffee…

I enjoyed doing it, though there is so much ground I wanted to cover and I feel like by Friday I was still catching up with what I’d planned to have in the hopper by Tuesday. Perhaps I can offer a sequel some week in the future when I’ve got my brain screwed on a bit tighter.

These were all great, but I was really looking forward to reading some advice on Moka pots. In any case, thanks for all the great suggestions!

The coffee roundup was great. As it happens, we buy green beans and roast ourselves, and find that there is not much info out there on blending techniques and roasting times for different beans. If you could incorporate some of that info in the .pdf download, great!

What a great site!

So I read the Denny’s and coffee post a couple minutes ago. But i’m betting the general consensus will be that you need the line in the Coffee guide somewhere:

“If beer is heaven, coffee is faith.”

Why not. ;)

How about a review on which of the chain stores has the best coffee and espresso?

I’m in Minnesota, and I like Dunn Bros. which is a midwest chain. The others (Caribou, Starbucks) aren’t so great.
