Go to a speciality coffee shop to find out what good black coffee tastes like.

Even then, there is no single coffee flavor. The bean and roasting make a big impact, although the darker the roast, the more alike the coffee becomes. Dark roasts have the typical coffee flavor, while lighter roasts make the bean's flavor more pronounced. They can go from very fruity to very chocolatey. I once had beans that smelled like blueberries!

Brewing method also impacts the flavor profile a lot. Espresso packs the most flavor in a single sip. Filter and immersion brewing mellow the flavors out a bit more. I tend to prefer that over espresso. Allows me to enjoy the coffee longer and gives a bit more 'space' to discover subtleties in the flavor profile.

Illegal pushbacks are funded by the EU. EU countries look away or even condone them, as they don't want immigrants either.

Check out the Law of One for some funky spiritual stuff. There might be something in there that makes sense of this reality for you.

I don't think these are wood fire roasted, as I would expect you'd definitely taste that.

He was giving a workshop when I bought the beans, so I didn't want to bother them too long. He did tell me briefly where his three roasting machines come from (one is a 100 years old!), so maybe one of them is wood fired? I'll ask about it next time I'm grabbing some beans.

Can you tell me more about doing it sous vide? I have a sous vide stick that I rarely use and would love to have a use for it!

Ocean cleanup is also working on systems to prevent plastic from leaving rivers and flowing into the oceans.

Do you need a French press if you filter the coffee afterwards? I currently do not own one and wasn't planning on getting one. My idea was to just dump the coffee in water, stir, let it brew, then filter.

Also, I assume you use a fairly coarse grind when brewing that long?

Reddit used to have this functionality too (RES would expose it in the UI). Later they removed it and only showed if a comment was controversial. Very refreshing indeed to see the up and down votes again!
