The Top Coffee Blogs of 2015
www.honestcoffees.com@HonestCoffees
We'd prefer you read only our coffee blog. 24 hours a day. Over and over again (lots of
coffee helps). But we're realists; we wander off-site ourselves sometimes, and there's lots of great stuff out there. Below you'll find some of our favourite coffee-related blogs. They are
full of interesting, informative and timely content about our beloved bean. They are also
confirmation that there are other folks in the world who are, in fact, more obsessed with
coffee than we are.
From Coffee with Love http://fromcoffeewithlove.com
From Coffee with Love tracks Lameen's coffee journey, where he riffs on all things coffee (from a love perspective, of course). He's a strong advocate of coffee's health benefits and speaks a lot about the various coffees he's drinking and the cafes he's visiting around the world. You'll also find the odd bit of coffee art.

N/A Best Coffee Moments of 2014
FRSHGRND http://frshgrnd.com/
Coffee is everywhere, but great coffee is a rare combination of farmer, roaster, and barista each building on each other’s work in a transnational process fraught with potential for failure. When you taste great coffee, it’s the result of a chain of people doing their jobs with great skill and attention to detail. That’s unfortunately rare. Aaron's goal with his blog is to find the people making great coffee all around the world, and tell you how to get there, while sharing the experience.

Like Any Loving Creator, Bill Has nNo Favourite Posts Hebrews Coffee Review
The Pure Coffee Blog exists to help people find tremendous coffee and tea, both in their backyard and in their travels. Sure there are tons of sites that boast to help you find good coffee, but most of these sites are driven by an ever-unpredictable "user rating" and some simply go off the recommendations of others. Bill personally visits every venue on his blog, and he's sampled each coffee/tea/product featured.

N/A SCAA Barista and Roaster Compensation Report Shows Correlation Between Certification & Higher Salaries
The Specialty Coffee Association of America's flagship publication, the SCAA Chronicle is a bit of a mixed bag in terms of content, but it's all good. The Chronicle covers topics far and wide from sustainability the the coffee business to coffee science and culture. They post job vacancies as well; a dream come true if you're a coffee-swilling journo in Orange County!
Coffee & Conservation http://www.coffeehabitat.com/
Why does July blog about coffee sustainability and conservation issues?
I was familiar with the shade coffee concept, so I started looking around for guidance on how to buy coffee that didn’t damage the environment or negatively impact biodiversity. I couldn’t seem to find a one-stop assemblage of information on the web, so I thought I’d do it myself. Well, I found out why it’s not all in one place! Sustainable coffee issues are very complex.

According to Jennifer:
I started the blog to share my Barista career experience of how great coffee can be. Now, it's a resource site for coffee enthusiasts who was a non pretentious approach to specialty coffee.

Word Clouds for Different Varietals How Close Are the Margins in Quality Between the Very Best Coffees?
The coffee chain is extraordinarily long, from the cherry to the café, and Daniel specializes in understanding all sides of the business, and helping people broaden their understanding of coffee. From the café owner who is looking to learn roasting, to the barista who wants to become a manager, to the roaster who needs to understand coffee farms better, it’s his constant goal and my joy to help people better understand coffee.
Daniel Says:
I write Coffee Scholars because I like making the connections up and down the chain. My hope is that what I do is helpful for producers *and* roasters/baristas. Plus it's just a lot of fun.

The Coffee Heretic http://www.kaladicoffee.blogspot.co.uk/
Mark Overy is a proud coffee heretic. According to him, "specialty Coffee has evolved its own orthodoxy that increasingly disparages critique. I have been around just long
enough to remember that what we now call Specialty Coffee initially struggled to differentiate itself from cheap, commercial coffee. Many helped create this niche, forging new
paths to quality. Some of these voices have since been marginalized. I am a product of those voices." Mark says:
The reason I began writing the blog in the manner that I do stemmed from my ongoing frustration with developments within the Specialty Coffee community, particularly online.
Most of my posts are really directed to Specialty Coffee insiders, they know who they are, but the information is important to the general public as well since many of us now get
our information online and I could find few sources that were not parroting the same line.
