A field guide to specialty coffee. Backed by live data.
A hand-authored reference to the varieties, origins, and processes behind specialty coffee — bound to Roast Radar, a live record of every coffee 26 tracked roasters are selling right now.
Every night the radar reads the published menus of the tracked roasters.
Each offering's flavor notes are resolved against the Waveform flavor system.
The observations are bound into the hand-set reference, each stamped with its provenance.
Reference articles are written from the collected record and primary sources beyond it.
