There are several there I visit regularly, but others I’d not read before. Which means now, there are several more I will be visiting regularly. The aesthetic of Clean Hot Dry is particularly appealing to me, perhaps because it’s totally contrary to what I present.

Mike December 7, 2010 at 2:13 pm

Glad I could add more to your list!

Hunt Slade December 6, 2010 at 12:44 pm

Great list! May I humbly suggest my company’s blog? It features regular contributions from Boyd Coffee Company’s Roastmaster, such as this recent article where he discussed his experiences as a coffee cupping judge: http://blog.boyds.com/132/confessions-of-a-coffee-cupping-judge/

One more suggestion: I enjoy the New York Times’ coffee coverage at: http://www.nytimes.com/info/coffee/

Mike December 9, 2010 at 2:42 pm

Thanks for sharing those links Alissa. I didn’t know that the NY Times had a section for their coffee coverage.

Stephen Jeske December 7, 2010 at 6:42 pm

Nice resource Mike,but you’ll have to change the list to “43 Must Read Coffee Blogs” because you’re at the top in my RSS feed reader!

Mike December 9, 2010 at 2:41 pm

Thank you very much. Checking out your blog and really like the titles (as well as the articles) over there.

Bill December 7, 2010 at 7:37 pm

Hey Mike, thanks for sharing the coffee love. We appreciate being on your list and being in such good company. It looks like I have a lot of reading to do. By the way, you are setting a high standard for coffee blogs. Keep up the good work!

Mike December 9, 2010 at 2:43 pm

Thank you very much Bill! It was my pleasure to include your blog.

Will December 7, 2010 at 11:18 pm

Thanks for the great list. I see I’ve got lots of reading to do!

Michael December 8, 2010 at 3:16 pm

Overcoming my general disregard for shameless self-promotion to share another blog — this one from the coffeelands of Central America, where I work coordinating a regional project with more than 7,000 smallholder farmers. The content focuses more on challenges and opportunities at origin, which makes it unlike most of the (excellent) blogs you have cited, and may make it a good addition to people’s reading lists. Thanks for your consideration and everything you do.

Darrell December 12, 2010 at 3:07 pm

Some great reading there(thanks Mike), meant to comment earlier but I’ve been ‘poking around’ & reading a few of those. Good to see that you included the Transcend blog.

Mike December 13, 2010 at 10:17 am

There’s is a great site, always very informative and I enjoyed the videos.

Nate December 15, 2010 at 9:54 am

Thank you very much for including Coffeenate.com in your list! I am honored to be mentioned :D I also appreciate the list of other coffee blogs to check out. If only I could get the time to keep up with all of them. Perhaps if I drank enough coffee?

Mike December 15, 2010 at 10:34 am

I don’t think there was ever any doubt about including Coffee Nate!

I think more coffee is the only answer. My reading list is long, but there’s a lot of great articles that make it worth it.
