The Magical Fruit
The Oromo people would customarily plant a coffee tree on the graves of powerful sorcerers. They believed that the first coffee bush sprang up from the tears that the god of heaven shed over the corpse of a dead sorcerer.

Currently I'm mostly doing something close to Lance Hedrick's current recipe.
It uses a relatively coarse grind and relatively high agitation. It's a little confusing at first but the idea essentially is that instead of doing a brew, tasting it, and adjusting your next brew to be a little better (Hoffmann style), you eyeball the drawdown rate and add more or less agitation depending on the speed. So instead of dialing entirely between brews, you are doing some correction on the fly during the brew itself, leading to fewer bad cups of coffee.
