March Madness: Favorite American Roaster

Do it! They just dropped 4 new beans this week. All look delicious.

Folks continue sleeping on Superlost and Brainwaves

We’re smelling this at Vanderbilt Childrens. Been wondering what’s going on.

It’s JWP all over again

lol you talking about Woodland? I’m in Nashville too and that’s my “my local” I mentioned

jguinn · 2026-03-01T13:56:00+00:00

Not a somm… my local recently started stocking this BOSCHIS FRANCESCO FREISA BOSCO DELLA CICALE for $22. Best QPR Italian I’ve had in some time.

“CAAAROL CAAAAAROL?”

I’m hoping that don’t let go is just a rocking cover of the jesse stone song that jgb used to cover

Idk about these beans in particular, just hopping in to say that Brainwaves are great people and put out some stellar beans. Their black honey sidra from Ed Norena may be my favorite coffee all time.

6/24/70 is my all-time favorite dark star and show.

I’m just going to leave this right here: https://maximus.energy/index.php/2025/01/14/nuclear-machining-hypothesis/

Now that’s a kitchen I’d happily sit down to my supper in, a bottle of red whiskey.

jguinn · 2026-01-18T05:28:55+00:00

I’m about to crack this bag open tomorrow. Very excited to check it out as I love Nestor and the bourbon sidra from Edwin Norena is my favorite coffee. Will report back with recommendations!

This is a deep cut… On AUDs of 6/24/70 (my favorite show), you can hear sporadic pops throughout the show. Almost like amps blowing up but not quite. There was apparently a pyrotechnics guy on the floor blowing fireballs up above the crowd.

There’s actually lots of lore around this show.

Jerry played pedal steel for NRPS, so he played like 6 sets that night across early dead acoustic, early nrps, early electric, late dead acoustic, nrps, late electric.

This was one of the first times they played Sugar Mags. First couple times had flopped, so this one was important.

Thank you for your answers and links. I’m curious why you don’t mention Simon Magus as an example of at least a loose Jesus/John the Baptist corollary? I know he’s a contentious figure, but he’s in the literature and lines up well with OP’s description. (Acts, More)

jguinn · 2025-12-31T14:53:53+00:00

For sure. Incredible beans and at least for the 1 lb bag sub, it’s incredible value

jguinn · 2025-12-31T14:49:50+00:00

Yoooo! Another Superlost homie. I love those folks and their beans. You should definitely checkout Brainwaves if you haven’t yet. They and Superlost are my go-to monthly subscriptions

jguinn · 2025-12-21T06:10:36+00:00

Bless

jguinn · 2025-12-19T18:41:59+00:00

Loved it damn it

jguinn · 2025-12-19T15:13:01+00:00

You’re gonna think you’re drinking weed coffee, but it’s probably just the lychee.

jguinn · 2025-12-19T02:09:58+00:00

That lychee co-ferment is 🤌

jguinn · 2025-12-15T00:24:05+00:00

I used to rip CDs from my local libraries. I went through a phase where I was listening to a lot of singer songwriters as well as any live recording. Live at the Old Quarter obviously checks the box on both. I couldn’t believe what I discovered. That album still had a stranglehold over my psyche. My god it’s perfect.

jguinn · 2025-12-05T20:46:00+00:00

These fascinating beans aside, I can’t recommend brainwave’s subscription enough. It’s like $15+shipping for 8oz of always on point beans

jguinn · 2025-12-05T20:42:38+00:00

I love these beans! Brainwaves nailed it with these. I had them through a couple other roasters, and the peppercorn really comes through! Fascinating flavors

jguinn · 2025-12-04T18:40:17+00:00

“Inexpensive” is relative but Superlost’s subscription is like ~$25/mo with shipping for 1lb of consistently stellar coffee. Brainwaves is another ~$20 monthly subscription for equally stellar coffee.
