Coffee Log

A list of all the specialty coffees I've tried in the past while, either at home or in a coffee shop. I tried to include as much detail as I could find. The spelling of varietals, place names, etc. is taken from the packaging.

My current home setup consists of:

  • Hario V60-02 - Plastic
  • Aeropress
  • 1Zpresso ZP6 Special grinder
