In 2020, during the COVID-19 lockdown in Taiwan, I found myself working from home for an extended period of time. It was during this time that I stumbled upon a simple coffee grinder in my house (likely a giveaway or gift from a friend). In my leisure time, I began making my own coffee. The aroma of the freshly ground beans provided a break from the stresses of research. Eventually, I even purchased some gadgets for pour over coffee.
As I dive deeper into the world of coffee, I struggled to find a website with organized and systematic information on the topic. While there are numerous coffee websites on the Internet, most are in blog format with posts on popular topics, similar to FAQ websites. While these posts might be helpful for intermediate or advanced coffee lovers, they are not beginner-friendly.
This is why I have decided to take a systematic and hierarchical approach to organizing coffee knowledge on my website. I will begin with an overview of a coffee bean's journey from the tree to the cup, and then delve into more detail for each stage of the process. The website will provide a high-level concept of coffee making before extending into the details of each stage, using a top-down approach.
As a novice in the world of coffee, I hope to learn more about the topic while creating this website. If you are looking for an entry point into the world of coffee, you've come to the right place. Please feel free to contact me with any suggestions you may have for the website.
