This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

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.
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.
Ever consider decaf?
