It's also nice when others find the flavors that I was trying to bring out in the coffee and especially to see agreement from such a highly trained expert panel (even if I think Q form scores are of dubious relevance to production roasts).

One of the people who got the Roasting Styles Exploration Kit put the coffee in front of their company's sensory panel and was kind enough to send their analysis. The score spread was 4 points across the three coffees, with the highest scoring one being the medium roast, the light roast scoring 1 point lower, and the dark roast coming in the remaining 3 points below that. Interesting to see their tasting notes.

Your favorite Touhou character is:

@halcy Alternative spellings are not unheard of.

@halcy You only need one poll option for that: Eternity Larva.

Proposed basically taking the 3 hour class I've been teaching at trade events lately and compressing that down into a 30-40 minute lecture/tasting with Q&A after. The audience is different, so that's not as difficult as it might sound.

I'd get paid for this. Not a lot, but more than my costs, so that's nice.

Also, the upcoming ebook now has its own separate marketing page that I can link people to. https://roastingbook.coffee/rcpd/

Got invited to do a short lecture or hands on coffee roasting session at a local (Chicago) event in March. I don't know exactly what I'm doing there, but I've agreed to work with them on figuring something out.

The cat has decided that I shall stop writing and instead admire the cat.

@koko@hellsite.site As someone who lives near the nobody knows wtf they're doing in Wisconsin, same.

Made an attempt at ebook cover design today.

@apLundell@octodon.social Data probably kept them all. His residence is overflowing with cats in the future of All Good Things.
