TL;DR: Is there any science or data to support coffee that has undergone longer roast cycles needing less rest/degas time? For some time, I have been doing my own roasting by cranking the machine to max temp, letting it rip, then stopping the roast…

What do all the symbols on my coffee lid mean?

I bought a coffee from Caffè Nero in the UK. It came with this lid: What do all the letters mean? I'm assuming DECAF could be marked to distinguish a decaf in a large order, but why is it there twice? What about the other letters? What about 19…

Is there a way to distinguish decaf from normal coffee?

During a move I forgot which jar of ground coffee is decaf - usually I refer them by place they had. Is there any test I can perform at home to find out which jar is which type of coffee?

Does this look like a decent coffee grinder?

I'm currently coming up with a coffee article, and suddenly I'm stuck trying to fish my words out of the water -- how has civilization come to appreciate coffee, anyhow? Why did pre-modern societies roast and drink it up, considering the notion that…
