The home-brewing notebook.
What I have learned about coffee, written down so you do not have to learn it the slow way. One page at a time, as I finish them.
Coffee tasting terms, in plain words
Every word on the tasting chart I put beside each roast, explained the way I would say it at my table.
Your first espresso at home
The five things that decide whether the shot is good.
Grinding for your brewer
What to change, and in which direction, when the cup is wrong.
What happens inside a roast
Green beans, heat, time, and the two cracks.
The notebook is for reference. Day-to-day notes go in the journal, and the coffee itself is in the shop.
