What do you like about this subject? Indonesian coffee is literally my life. I work, eat and drink for the stuff.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? Coffee is a truly specialty field (pardon the pun). Learning more and more every day. Indonesia, with 17,000 islands, has so many undiscovered coffee sources.
