Now that I'm caught up on figuring out how I want to roast new coffees, tasting production test batches, and reworking blend recipes, I've updated the coffee list.

If high heels are so great why aren't men being forced to wear them?

Needed to send off info to DHL about customs clearance, but my new roaster is not very far away geographically. It's going to overshoot me to get to a closer distribution center before coming back. Friday delivery is still possible as long as the customs stuff gets dealt with promptly.

How many episodes of Star Trek feature plants that shoot at the away team? TOS has multiple.

@mal I would watch a show where a team of highly trained Trojan soldiers used a complex network of ropes and pulleys to animate a giant wooden war horse. It takes a lot of coordination to move such a weapon which is why the pilot needs to shout his attacks: a tradition that lives on in mecha pilots to this day.

@goat@hellsite.site My preferred birthday strategy is to have an excuse to be out of the country around that date and just not tell anybody wherever I end up.

Here's a though: let's NOT create the future depicted in Samurai Jack.

Versatility feels like an underappreciated quality in raw coffees. I'd much rather work with a coffee that's delicious across many different approaches to roasting than something that can only be at its best in a tiny window. The former can quickly be adapted to new needs while the latter is prone to a premature slide toward mediocrity.

The next Sumatran coffee I'll be selling performs nicely across a broad range of roast levels. I'm only picking one to sell but that's probably a good one to recommend for local home roasters who appreciate a cleaner expression of the traditional Sumatra flavor profile as it almost doesn't matter how you roast it. You're likely to get something tasty out of it.

Real Men™ don't need their masculinity affirmed by brands.

@professor_stoke So far they've left my tree alone. It's still smaller than the ones they've chopped down.

@professor_stoke It would be hypocritical for me to pursue that angle, but I will be expressing displeasure to my alderman (who is also a multiple times per day customer of mine).

@professor_stoke 195-205°F with few brew method specific exceptions.

@goat@hellsite.site Works here. It would be a lovely day were it not for the saw tank tree murderers roaming the streets of the city.
