Start Here

In the last couple of years, I have been getting more and more curious about what makes coffee such a widely loved, but wildly diverse beverage. What makes individual cups of coffee taste so different from each other? What truly is the best at-home brewing method? And what's the deal with espresso? Why do I liked earthy, chocolate-y coffee more than I liked the fruity coffee? What gives coffee its different flavor?

Through this project I hope to learn as much as I can about the roasting and brewing methods of coffee. I have combined my work experience as a barista at Margie's Java Joint with interviews with some other coffee experts and my own experience and research to create this blog.
Join me on my journey to learn more about this delicious drink!
