Very Unofficial Guide to Gauging Coffee

Yesterday I drank coffee at a local restaurant, and the only comparison I could give it was to the kick of a .410 shotgun.  In fact most of the coffee served at local restaurant would fit that comparison.

One location in town (which will remain anonymous) might qualify for the kick of the 20-gauge, not a bad coffee, and the best I've tasted at an in-town restaurant.

Let's see, some store bought 100% Colombian might attain the 16-gauge comparison.

All bias aside, I would compare my home-roasted Sumatra Mandheling to the kick of the 12-gauge.

"What about decaf?" you might ask.  Have you ever fired bird-shot from a .22 rifle?
