TBF, it took me awhile to migrate to the Behmor drum roaster ($). Started with a series of of hot air roasters, but eventually I needed something that would be able to keep ahead of consumption. Exclusively #sweetmarias green beans. An AeroPress for a single bold cup; or Techivorm drip coffee maker.

I use a Behmor drum roaster. 35min to roast a pound. 1 day of rest. If you want to dabble to see if you like it I’d suggest this starter set: www.sweetmarias.com/poppo-air-po...
Poppo Air Popcorn Kit
Poppo is a standard air popcorn popper … but when you add the Poppo Coffee Roasting Sleeve it can roast 1/4 pound quickly and evenly to light, medium, or dark roast levels!

Sumatran Dry Process Ribang Gayo from Sweet Maria’s that I home roasted 24 hours ago. Fresh and rich.

Some wide variety in his work, from expose’ (The Family) to uniquely immersive political journalism (The Undertow) to my favorite: what I can only describe as a kind of memoir that simultaneously tries to give voice to those who are suffering (This Brilliant Darkness).

Agree completely. I missed that nuance in your comment. BTW that book was a watershed moment for me, it’s footnotes for instance pointing me to @jeffsharlet.bsky.social‘s work.

True - But since it’s 2025, it’s good to have this new statistical information!

If one wants substantial and still beautiful, immersive journalism, they can get it by reading @jeffsharlet.bsky.social rather than nuzzi’s tripe. And, yes, I really enjoyed your editor’s notes to her book excerpt.

Nice photos - reminds me of my first car, a beautiful metallic blue-green 4-door 1965 Buick Skylark. A true highway cruiser.
