  5. Whoa, what an amazing trip through coffee roasting history! I had no idea how much work went into bringing out the complex nuances of coffee. The old photographs are a lovely addition, transporting us back to a different period of coffee culture. Speaking of classic components, I couldn't help but imagine how important a decent coffee grinder must have been to this story. Freshly ground coffee beans must have had an unparalleled scent and flavor. It was a very interesting article that made me want to learn more about the ideal coffee grinder for my own brewing endeavors!
