“…Do Stupid Things Faster With More Energy”
For the past 2 months, I’ve been e-mailing back and forth with Patrick Maloney, the roastmaster at Boston Common Coffee Co.
I’ve been learning some great facts about coffee, different growing regions and coffee varieties, etc. etc. I think about coffee as something I sip on in the morning so I can get a quick pick-me-up. For Patrick, it’s so much more than that. I’m really excited that I’ll be able to share information about Boston Common Coffee with you guys as I sample 4 different types of coffee and eventually take a trip to the Roasting Facility in Hopedale, MA.
To start things off, it’s important to know that even though many coffee drinkers attribute the “strength” of their coffee to a roast level, that’s just a common misconception! Strength of coffee is actually related to things like brewing methods, ratios of water to coffee, grind levels, etc.
Still confused about coffee? Good cuz I’m going to have lots of information for you over the next few days!

I’m looking forward to finding out more about coffee! My husband is a new coffee guru so I learn a lot from him and get to sample his brews! We are also going to get to roast our own beans soon and I’m looking forward to it!

I love my coffee so strong I’m sweating out my pores. I almost fill the coffee filter with grinds!
