Comments on: About MsC http://manseekingcoffee.com One Man's Quest to Find a Better Cup of Coffee Thu, 17 May 2012 21:28:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Kberg http://manseekingcoffee.com/aboutmsc/comment-page-1/#comment-36914 Kberg Mon, 10 Oct 2011 15:15:12 +0000 http://mscblogtest.info/index/about-msc/#comment-36914 The only issue with your reviews is that coffee shops can change depending on the barista, unavoidable of course, and of course its the shop/owner's responsibility, any workaround besides visiting a few times, I mean if you reviewed a shop 3 years ago, is it fair not to revisit a shop if its in a major city or town with many shops. Also do you grade cumulative, for instance if a shop has a great clover, press, hario, aeropress, siphon,avg espresso do you average out the rating system. Of course that would depend on technique, for instance a toddy may be less complicated to use the fine tuning a clover, although experienced folks do mess up (not soaking).

I felt like my side comments on Moschetti were pretty minimal. Hmm? At any rate, I would certainly be interested in trying this. Send me an email and we can talk that way.

I felt I could do well with doing something smaller than a Microroast..I call my methodologies PICO ROASTING! That would be 15 pounds or less of roasted coffee per session. Armed with a Behmor 1600 and lots of great coffee's from places like Sweet Maria's, The Coffee Project and my own finds from far off lands, I am very excited about the future of the smaller home roaster and their contribution to this amazing land of bean exploitation for better tastes! Are you or have you planned on doing a piece on home roasters? If not, I would love to invite you to Napa for some roasting and coffee tasting! If not, come to Napa anyway. Moschetti, by the way, told me you ripped him a new one and was very upset by the way you portrayed him. My response was, well do something more amazing Fabrice and invite him back for another go! I appreciate your blog and while I am no where near the level of the stores you feature, I feel that a growing number of home roasters myself who actually do sell product to willing tasters, are going to be a growing segment of the coffee scene! What do you think? -Ken Graham Napa, CA Dear MSC,

Read about your journey in the online NY Times. Come check out our coffee shop, The Higher Ground, in Cody, Wyoming--the home of Buffalo Bill Cody and 52 miles from the east entrance of Yellowstone Park. No counters, just 7 tables inside, one table and use of patio table when the weather is good. Very unprentenious, but good coffee from a local roaster and the best wraps in town (so says our clientele). Interesting web site. Read about your journey in the online NY Times.
