Good morning, everyone.
I need to purchase a new coffee bean grinder for home use and family is in two camps.
One for manual grinder.
One for electric grinder.
Family makes a pot of coffee in a large French press.
Does anyone use a manual grinder and if so, can you recommend a good one? Are they better for grinding beans instead of the chop chop of an electric?
In #coffee roasting the gases inside the beans expand dramatically. So much so the beans crack. They all do that around the same time during the process, so you get a lot of noise like corn popping.
You’ll usually log the first crack and work the roast from there. For specialty coffee light roasts you can start lowering your temperate there. The beans have a lot of thermal mass, so they won’t get cold instantly.
For a darker roast, you keep going past the second crack. Yes, there’s still enough action going on that you can get that popcorn reaction again.
Roasting is necessary - green coffee is hard and basically unusable, we’ve known that for ages. The choice of roast level is up to you though. A lighter roast will let you spot the differences between different origins. A darker roast will develop those chocolate notes many of us enjoy. A very dark roast will make higher and lower-grade coffee indistinguishable.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
With all that context, I’d just like to congratulate the manufacturers of supermarket-tier coffee for the outstanding innovations that allow them to roast coffee past the 50th crack. Between working in the industry and enjoy the hobby, I never thought you could go past the second. Yet here we are, drinking charcoal-water.
Love books? Looking for a place to hang out in Tokyo that's quiet and puts your book-loving heart at ease? Good news: book cafes in Tokyo are the new black (coffee). Here are a few of our favorites in great neighborhoods with unique concepts.

Quite a painterly image. I might paint it .

I would pay good money to have quality #coffee brought directly to me while I work.
Glad my husband and I managed to catch the last day of the BGC Coffee Festival last Sunday. I finally got to try Decimal's delicious coffee (they're based out of town, in Biñan, Laguna). Bonus points: got to see two of my former officemates who run the coffee shop!
Decimal is also a small library (coffee and books!), so if you happen to be in Biñan, do check them out (they're at Lot 8 Blk 1, Avida Shophouse Technopark, Brgy Biñan, Biñan City).
My wife, harvesting some of the cherries off our 12' tall coffee tree, we grew from an ethiopian coffee cherry seedstock about 14 years ago. It's been producing cherries for about 4 years now, and this year the most ever.
Research on #coffee and type 2 diabetes:
Coffee Consumption, Additive Use, and Risk of Type 2 Diabetes....in American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 3/2025
(HT @clive )
"sugar or artificial sweetener significantly attenuates the magnitude of the inverse association between higher coffee consumption and T2D risk, whereas the use of cream do not alter the inverse association."

I send thanks to the buyer from Maryland who purchased a coffee mug of

May the image on the mug bring you to a place of peace, calmness, and contemplation.
i want to digitize some old #analog cassette tapes with my m1 macbook pro. I tried plugging the cassette player's aux cable into the laptop's headphone jack, but it wont detect the signal.
i don't know much about #mac or #audio #music recording. is there anyone out there who can explain what i'm doing wrong or point me to the adapter I need? : preferably not amazon
thanks in advance!

Eight years ago today, I tried this fellow for the first time. Since then it must’ve saved at least 10,000 filter papers. A solid investment
