If you consider yourself a card-carrying coffee geek -- or, as restaurateur Joe Johnston would put it, a "disciple" of the "true gospel of coffee" -- then you need to bookmark Johnston's excellent new blog, Roaster Project.
But even if you don't consider yourself a java expert or even drink the stuff, it's a fascinating read.
Along with detailed information about coffee connoisseurship, Johnston muses about different types of coffee people, his creative process, and his collaborators.
His background information is intriguing, too -- the Roaster Project makes perfect sense when you learn that Johnston not only has an engineering background, but that his grandfather and great-grandfather were both engineers who designed food service equipment.
