This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Oh I think roast is primary. Too dark or light ruins any beans. I'd rather have well roasted ordinary beans than fancy beans over it under roasted. I'd rather have no coffee frankly, in some cases.
Respectfully disagree. Beans are everything. Shitty beans and you have no where to go but shitty dark roast for shitty coffee. Good beans, and you can go to amazing places depending on the roast or shitty dark roast for shitty coffee.
But an oily dark roast on good beans will taste almost identical to an oily dark roast on shitty beans.
Ultimately though, we're just disagreeing on a simple linear ordering because a simple linear ordering is inadequate to describe it.
