    Brew method is about control and experimentation. Not a big difference, but cheap, easy and controllable. V60 is basically BIFL.

    Beans>roast>grind>brew>water

      Oh I think roast is primary. Too dark or light ruins any beans. I’d rather have well roasted ordinary beans than fancy beans badly over or under roasted. I’d rather have no coffee frankly, in some cases.

        Respectfully disagree. Beans are everything. Shitty beans and you have no where to go but shitty dark roast for shitty coffee. Good beans, and you can go to amazing places depending on the roast or shitty dark roast for shitty coffee.

          But an oily dark roast on good beans will taste almost identical to an oily dark roast on shitty beans.

          Ultimately though, we’re just disagreeing on a simple linear ordering because a simple linear ordering is inadequate to describe it.

            Dark roast is what you do to make poor beans drinkable. Good beans are ruined with dark roasts.

            I respectfully disagree and stand by my linear progression. My best guess is that you haven’t had good beans and a light roast, so you may not even be aware.

              You’re not making any sense.

              Good beans are ruined with dark roasts.

              That’s my point, you’re making from me, before your patronizing bullshit. I know coffee you fuckwit. And I know that a bad roast can render the bean quality irrelevant, therefore it’s more significant than bean quality. And it illustrates that the a linear progression of importance doesn’t make a lot of sense.

              But just carry on assuming nobody else knows anything and they’re just confused, it’ll probably make you happier.
