Pretty Cool Coffee Links I Like

[Mister Moo]

FAQ: http://www.thecoffeefaq.com/ - general info on everything

General resource: http://coffeegeek.com/ - detailed info on everything; excellent product and procedural reviews; many good forums, particularly for homeroasting and espresso

Self-authorized authorities: http://groups.google.com/group/alt.c...nk=gschg&hl=en - excellent resource for general info to microscopic details; not a great place for casual posting - some Nemo-types here, but mostly over-caffeinated sharks packed in a fishtank, many sniffing for blood; many with commercial/professional credentials

A store for coffee stuff: http://fantes.com/ - great array of gear

"The" place for green bean selection and reviews, homeroasting info and coffee products: http://sweetmarias.com/

Raleigh, NC roaster: http://larrysbeans.com/ - great stuff they roast here

The Master of Cigar and Coffee : http://killerbeans.com/site/home.html

I can't explain it: http://espressomyespresso.com/

Espresso Master: http://www.espressovivace.com/

Latte Art, for example: http://www.coffeegeek.com/guides/frothingguide/examples and http://images.google.com/images?q=latte+art&hl=en

Cool links.

I've been looking to upgrade my Silvia. The screw that keeps the showerhead has been frozen for years and I am unable to clean it out as I would like. I've tried several screwdrivers to no avail and don't want to break off the screw... That is my main reason for replacing it. Other than that, I have been happy with it.

probably should make into a "sticky". Mod PM'ed.

good links!

I think I've sent a couple folks here to discussions with Ed Needham but, somehow, missed posting his web site. It is one of the best if you want to roast pounds rather than ounces of coffee/week. Ed's site is a project idea, technical or practical resource. Ed is a homeroasting guru and gorilla, for sure.


If you roast, or are thinking about roasting coffee, see where imagination has no limits: www.homeroaster.com.
