About Coffee
Coffee starts as the seed of a fruit, picked, dried, and roasted until the sugars inside darken and the aroma appears. Roast level changes flavor far more than most people expect, and grind size decides how quickly water pulls that flavor out: espresso needs a fine grind and about half a minute, while a paper filter drip takes several minutes. Clues here cover the drinks, the equipment, the growing regions, and the person behind the counter.
Reach for this in a coffee shop, a break room, or a home kitchen when you want something to work through between cups.
