I've just embraced the stereotypical "designer who's obsessed with coffee" at this point. I use this list to remember all of the roasts I've tried and liked. Honestly, it's my own shopping guide for when I need to get more.
I brew all of my coffee as pour overs with a 14.5:1 ratio in either a Fellow Stagg or a Chemex.
