hey kritter, the important thing is you enjoy it. everything else is just conversation lol. i'm a bit of a fanatic. some people improve their coffee with rum, or dip their cigars in cognac. guess i'm more of a purist jerk when it comes to that stuff lol.

sounds like from what you are saying you enjoy the roast in a coffee, not so important to you are what are called the origin flavors, which can be delicate.

how do you grind/brew? have you ever taste tested other coffees using your warm up method?
