New York Times article

I noticed this article on the shotratings site. Very nice piece of (coffee) journalism. A must read.

Today’s New York Times featured an article on how the upper echelon of coffee roasters pursue the finest cup the world over: To Burundi and Beyond for Coffee’s Holy Grail - New York Times. Introducing a number of America’s celebrity roasters, including Stumptown and Intelligentsia, the article touches on some of the key tools of today’s trade: direct trade, professional coffee cuppings, and coffee tasting competitions such as the Cup of Excellence.
