How to Use This Knowledge Base

This vault is built for Obsidian and is best explored as a web of linked notes rather than read front-to-back. It also publishes to a searchable website.

#The Structure

Notes are grouped into twelve numbered folders, each a domain:

#Navigation Conventions

• MOCs (Maps of Content) — each domain has a hub note that links to everything inside it. Start there. The top-level hub is Home.
• Wikilinks — [[like this]] connect related concepts across domains. Follow them freely; that is the point.
• Graph view — open Obsidian's graph (Ctrl/Cmd+G) to see the whole web. Dense clusters reveal core concepts like extraction and Grinding.
• Tags — every note carries domain and topical tags. Search tag:#water or tag:#recipe to slice across folders.
• Backlinks — the backlinks panel shows every note that references the one you're reading.

#A Note on Sources & Accuracy

This knowledge base reflects current specialty-coffee consensus and best practice. Brewing is an active field — recipes and even some science are debated, and tasting notes are informed opinion, not absolute fact. Where a popular belief is myth or contested, the notes say so.
