I’m just gonna go on record & say it. I’m a Christian & I don’t think homosexuality is a sin. Can we please stop the un-Christ-like hatred? Isn’t love really unconditional?

Love In Action. What it's supposed to look like.
I don’t normally throw around Scripture verses, because, well, as I’ve confessed before, I don’t go a good enough job of following them myself. But I was challenged by a particular section this past Sunday night from Louie Giglio. It’s what real love in action looks like, and you don’t have to believe in God or Jesus to appreciate the words and sentiment. It’s...

Anonymous asked: Jason, I've got a nice manual grinder but I'm looking now to get something electric. I'd only be using it for manual drip. I've read that a Vario is much better than an entry-level Maestro in terms of fines and consistency and even-ness...but to what extent does that show up in the cup? Will I get much tastier results with a Vario than one of the less expensive Baratza models?...
Yep. I need friends.
Well, we’ve been living in Atlanta for close to a year. We’ve really loved it. We love where we live, we love all the things there are to do, really, all of it. We just found a nice park where we can hike alongside the Chattahoochee River a couple of weeks ago, seems like we’re finding lots of cool treasures here. For all the appearance of a large city, there’s so many...

My thoughts on Multi-Roaster shops.
First off, let me say this, if you’re looking for a bash session either way, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed. I’m going to carefully assess the pros and cons of this newer coffee shop model. I believe this trend really started with Billy Wilson and his shop in Portland, Barista. He’s currently brewing coffees from Ecco, Coava and his standard, Stumptown. It has...

Anonymous asked: Thoughts on Batdorf being part of the GoCoffeeGo lineup? On the one hand, it's cool that you guys are being recognized for the great roasting that you do. On the other hand, GoCoffeeGo incentivizes people to buy 3+ bags in order to get shipping discounts, and so buyers are not getting the freshest coffee and therefore not really seeing the qualities that made you a roaster to be given respect...

WatchAngry Birds and The Pigs Discuss Their Strategy. Nice.
Anonymous asked: Jason,
You said, "ask me anything," so I shall take you up on it. Has anyone noticed a correlation between Nick Cho's slamming of the V60 and his recent acquisition of a handful of different brewers? Maybe it is just a random coincidence, but he was really slamming the V60 and everyone who uses it to brew coffee. He then goes to Seoul and buys other pourovers that he...
