Roaster Project looks like it’s going to be an amazing, ambitious adventure:
My goal is to create the best shop-scale commercial roaster that I possibly can and then use it.
I can’t wait to see the results.
Book reviews, coffee reviews, musings on quality and the state of the industry … and he’s a home roaster who’s coffee is being featured at a new Oakland, CA café. Ed Whitman: renaissance man.
James Hoffman is my coffee industry hero of sorts. Mr. Hoffman has an iconoclast’s bent but with his even-handed approach to what can be divisive issues — and in the close-knit and sometimes provincial world of specialty coffee, what can’t be? — and his focus on objective reasoning and passion for quantitative research, he is consistently a breath of reasoned fresh air in a world of too many strongly held opinions.
Hoffman was the World Barista Champion in 2007 and he’s also the owner of Square Mile Coffee Roasters in London, UK.
If it is related to coffee and it interests us, then it is fair game for Coffee Hero
So there ya go. Michael Allen Smith, out of the “Coffee Hero World Headquarters” in Seattle, is the producer and creator of the e-zine INeedCoffee and the main organizer for the Coffee Club of Seattle.
Alex Scofield is the leader at Coffee Hero’s “Northeast Regional Branch Office” in Cape Cod, MA where, “if all else fails”, he roasts his own beans.
Starting all the way back in 2005, “dogmilque” (that’s his Flickr username) — AKA “the guy in charge of roasting at Ritual Roasters in San Francisco, CA” — has photo-chronicled his first cup of the day.
The masked man of espresso and café reviews, MSC travels the U.S. (and the world?) “[…]on a quest to find a better cup of coffee.”
