For the part of you with thirty open tabs that never became anything.
A short one: 10 levels across 2 sections, about 20 minutes end to end, roughly 4 days at five minutes a day. It moves through Brewing Your First Great Cup and Choosing Your Beans. It starts from scratch.

Key ideas in Better Coffee at Home
- Coffee flavor peaks within 2-4 weeks of roasting
- The ratio of coffee to water dictates the concentration (strength) of the brew
- Beans older than a month lose their aromatic oils and taste flat
- Adding more water makes the coffee thinner, not more bitter
- The roast date is a better indicator of quality than an expiration date
- Bitterness comes from over-extraction, not from using 'too much' coffee
- Coffee freshness window
- Coffee-to-water ratio and strength
- Coarse grinds for long soak times
- Peak window for coffee freshness
- Boiling water extracts burnt flavors
- Fine grinds for fast pressure methods
- Coffee-to-water ratio controls intensity
- Ideal brewing temperature
- Matching grind size to brewing methods
- Measuring by volume (scoops) is inconsistent because dark roasts are fluffier than light roasts
