Visit linkScott Rao's blog is written by a coffee consultant, so its posts stay with specific decisions in roasting, brewing and cafe operation. One post compares the pros and cons of roast-control systems, another sets out QC protocols, and another takes apart the twin myths of easier extraction and overextraction. Brewing pieces such as the guide on how to choose a grind setting and the bed depth post stay with single decisions. The subscription forum takes the same method to readers who want feedback on their own roast curves.
