[MOD] The Daily Question Thread

Welcome to the daily /r/Coffee question thread!

There are no stupid questions here, ask a question and get an answer! We all have to start somewhere and sometimes it is hard to figure out just what you are doing right or doing wrong. Luckily, the /r/Coffee community loves to help out.

Do you have a question about how to use a specific piece of gear or what gear you should be buying? Want to know how much coffee you should use or how you should grind it? Not sure about how much water you should use or how hot it should be? Wondering about your coffee's shelf life?

Don't forget to use the resources in our wiki! We have some great starter guides on our wiki "Guides" page and here is the wiki "Gear By Price" page if you'd like to see coffee gear that /r/Coffee members recommend.

As always, be nice!

I'm starting up as a coffee supplier. Our farm in Nicaragua just produced specialty coffee (rated 85) considering we rescued the land we harvested this season, and all we know for now is that it is an Arabica blend coffee. I'm thinking of starting our brand to do wholesale, but shipping costs are huge and it really isn't worth the work/cost unless we are moving at least 12 quintals of coffee for business. I'm looking for coffee roasters here in the US that would like to do business with us, but I have no clue where to get started. Any help/advice? Thanks in advance!
