I have just found the most comprehensive website on my favourite subject.
Coffee
Talk about Coffee
If you are a dedicated coffeeholic (not addicted, mind you, but dedicated) then you must explore this website. It gives you types, how tos, health issues, links, machines (yuck), grow your own, recipes, science, history, etc; anything you can imagine.
As I said, it is the most complete website I have found on the subject, an absolute must to explore.
I have put a permanent link on the sidebar, just under the Brazil Coffee image, look for the logo above.

Coffee is always a bit of a let down, I think. It always smells fantastic as you grind it but never tastes anything like as good as it smells. One exception - after a truly bizzare meal in an Ethiopian restaurant in Athens we were served coffee along with a little incense burner that had a glowing coffee bean burning on it. For once the coffee really tasted as good as the aroma, even if it was only an olfactory illusion.
@vilges, I never find good coffee a let down. From aroma to the last drop. I was interested in you comment about the Ethiopian Restaurant, after all Ethiopia is where coffee all began.

Yes, and they do know how to do it properly. The meal was odd though. They bring you this great big disc of unleaven bread called ingera, on top of which sit little bowls of spicy dips and stews. These the waiter upends onto the ingera, and you tear off bits of bread wrapping it round the dip or stew of your choice. Maybe we were inexpert diners, but eventually the communal ingera starts to look like a well used J-cloth, and as the three of us present were all cat owners, the J-cloth bread smeared with brown lentil curry triggered the same associations in all of us at once. The coffee came as a relief.
@vilges, Sound more like art time in Kindergarten... finger painting. J-cloth... LOL
