In praise of mixing coffee beans (lemmy.ml)

I have been discovering the joy of mixing different types of whole bean coffees before preparing them in my French press. I find that as long as you don’t do something crazy like mix a very light roast with a very dark roast you can end up with a lot of extra depth and roundness to the flavor. Thoughts? Am I insane? A heretic??? Have you tried it?

I'll be trying to home-roast some decaf eventually; any tips?

More complete overview below, but basically, it can move faster through phases, can't be judged as well by color, and can reach crack at lower temperatures. It's totally possible to get a great outcome! Dialing it in is the fun IMO Link
