Coffee blogs
Daniel's World of Coffee: An excellent blog covering all aspects of coffee. Great articles, well written.
Chemically Imbalanced: This is a vibrant blog with articles and short mobile text messages on random thoughts. I like his "coffee trips" messages. In his own words, this blog is about how sublime coffee collides with real life.
Shot Zombies: A combination of original articles and links to external reports such as a man who sees Jesus in his coffee mug, a graphic chart that shows how to make espresso drinks, and how coffee can prevent bad breath. Very entertaining.
