Field notes
Why we roast in small batches A small roaster gives us room to experiment and to throw away a batch that is not good enough. Larger machines rarely allow that.
Why water matters more than you think A cup of coffee is more than ninety-eight percent water. Very soft or very hard water will both change how a coffee tastes.
Storing beans at home Keep beans in an airtight container away from heat and light. The freezer is fine for long storage if you portion the beans first.
