About Chester DuFrane

I'm a coffee writer who discovered that every cup tells a story spanning continents, cultures, and countless human hands. What started as a casual interest in better morning coffee evolved into a deep fascination with the entire ecosystem—from the genetics of heirloom varietals to the economics of commodity markets, from the chemistry of extraction to the sociology of café culture. I approach coffee with the curiosity of a journalist and the passion of someone who genuinely believes this simple beverage represents one of humanity's most complex and beautiful supply chains. Whether I'm exploring the terroir of Ethiopian highlands or breaking down the science behind your favorite brewing method, I write for fellow coffee lovers who want to understand and appreciate the remarkable journey from seed to cup.
