CoffeeGeek targets exactly the demographic you’re thinking of. Not content with the usual Rwandan Bold from Starbucks, these are the people who sit down and read articles about Regional Barista Championships and the balance of flavors in a cup of Ethiopian Sidamos. The website itself is cleanly laid out, with product reviews, useful buyer guides, and a forum that boasts thousands of regular contributors who post vigorously. The forums offer some of the most hardcore coffee fans around, though readers might wish the columnists wrote with such enthusiasm. The front page articles are irregularly updated, with articles dating from up to four months ago still holding front page spots. Coffee fans will likely be happy with the product reviews, grateful for a forum to hang out on, but resentful at an infrequently updated frontpage.
