Get an air popper and some raw beans :-)

Some will roast consistently, others a mix of charcoal and still green. They are often blended for more balanced flavor. That should be done after roasting.

I usually don't drink coffee. I don't care about the price. So when I'm having coffee, like once in a week or two, I like trying the most expensive ones.

Right now, I have some Jamaica blue mountain and some Bourbon Pointu. I don't care about a brand and avoid mixed beans.

Yes it taste slightly different, not better than regular coffee, just different.

I have the full Hario set, even the 80€ thermometer. I tried some pseudo science shit to see if it change the coffee, like waiting between pouring.

It doesn't change anything.

you should try a mid sized local roaster's stuff, single origin is a good course of action, but blue mountain is kind of a meme (like gesha but even more diluted and overhyped) and you can get better stuff for the same price or less

Pretty much this. You can also roast beans yourself apparently. Saw it on the 17th century cooking channel. I don't know how good of a cup it actually makes, but they all seemed impressed.

Buy green coffee beans and roast them yourself. It does produce a lot of smoke though. Otherwise, try to find some local who roasts their own coffee beans.

Roasting coffee beans is actually pretty easy and it makes a HUGE difference in terms of quality of the coffee made from it.

just buy a whirly pop and like 20lbs of some greens and you can get half decent at roasting over a few months

I drink a fuckton of coffee. Including fancy as fuck coffees.

The best thing you can do is try different brands. I prefer espresso blends. This one is cheap and delicious. It's my daily driver.

After that, folgers black silk is surprisingly fucking good. I got to a point where I wasn't sure I could make it stronger. Some voodoo magic in that grind.

I've found pretentious beans from starbucks or pete's or whatever to be hit or miss. YMMV on all of that typically overpriced corporate crap.

Hipster stuff is like trying a new craft beer. It's going to be amazing, okay, or meh.

Finding your grind takes time.

Buy a better grinder before spending that much on beans. A hario gives wildly inconsistent grind distribution and you are wasting money on $200 coffee if you aren't tasting it to its fullest extent. As far as expensive coffees go just look at any gesha, onyx has one from la Palma at $90 for 12 oz

It can be good for some beans
I had an ethiopia a while ago that was only drinkable if you got it right to the second crack and pulled it off
It was kind of a bitch the first few batches but after I got it right it started selling to the older crowd pretty well. It kind of sucks that I only had 80lbs of it. it would have been a really nice staple for the older regulars

Still goes bad over the course of a week due to enzyme action in the beans, not just oxidation. Buying coffee in bulk is stupid unless you mean green and home roasting which is a hassle for most and not likely to be as good as someone who has actually started roasting as a trade
