This bar graph is difficult to interpret- there is way too much information on the graph leaving the viewer lost as to how flavor co-varies with value. It looks like a big jumble. Also, how do you "average impressions" when those impressions are binary?

Nice to see the AeroPress as one of the three prep methods. That wee gadget is awesome.

Get a cheap/used popcorn popper (metal chamber, not plastic). Pour in a cup of green (unroasted) coffee beans. Start popper. After a few minutes, you'll hear the beans crack (you'll know). Keep roasting. The moment you hear a second round of cracking start, dump the beans into a large cool metal pan, swirling and transferring to another cool pan often until about room temp.

Store beans in sealed container for 0 minutes to 1 week (flavor changes over time).

Grind with burr grinder to fine.

Brew thru AeroPress.

Don't drink coffee because it's a cultural obligation (per poster above). Drink coffee because, done right, it's awesome.

The El Injerto that won is a particularly excellent crop. I didn't know Stumptown got a parcel, but I've had the Phil & Sebastian roast of the same crop, and it's delightful, particularly in an AeroPress. You should give it a try.

I think I'll pass : Just yesterday, I took a public commitment to stop drinking coffee (and submitted in everywhere - FB, HN, etc.) https://plus.google.com/109562561013887378542/posts/X8cLiHYe... We really are overdoing coffee as hackers. You can put anything you want in your body, I'm fine with the concept- but hackers shouldn't recommend hackers to drink coffee. There's a difference between freedom and a culturally…

This was a neat article about a hackathon, and it seems like you're ignoring the whole point of it to push a holy war against coffee. Also, you broke the several-month long streak during which I hadn't seen the word "brogrammer" used, so thanks for that as well.
