In this post @Prasad P mentions that he is unclear on the various bean washing methods used https://www.skool.com/bloss-coffee-academy-7629/my-coffee-setup-transition-over-years?p=e11f6815 Does anyone have an overview that shows the various methods?

In the beginning - instant coffee, transitioned to nespresso about 15 years ago and about 2 years ago transitioned to a DF64 grinder and BBP and that is when I discovered the various beans - single origin vs mixed, how they are washed (still not clear on various methods) and exploring the flavors - still learning. What was your journey to current setup?

👋 Hey everyone, Nicky here. I’m delighted to step in as your new host for this community! I’ve already been in touch with some peeps via DM, and in the background I’m sending an email out to all our fab members so nobody misses the update. My aim is simple: continue the amazing work that @Luke Gilbert started, keep this community buzzing with good conversations, practical brewing tips, and a place to share what we all love - coffee. ☕ To kick things off, I’d love to hear from you: where are you sipping from today + what’s in your cup? Drop a quick comment (pic welcome!) so we can get a roll call going. Looking forward to getting to know you all. 🙌 Nicky ps: I'm in Ireland. My first of the day WAS a Rebel House Espresso from javathehutt.ie roastery. It's a fab bean from Brazil. We also serve it in our converted horse box coffee trailer which is parked up at our local football club full time. I'm fully caffeinated and ready for the day!

If you saw this sign in the window of a coffee shop, are you walking in, or walking past? Personally, I'm walking in.

If you're an early morning coffee drinker like I am, what is your optimal time between drinks? Is it one or two hits in quick succession? or A short time between drinks? or A long time between drinks? What's your routine?
