The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).

Notes -
Thanks for the report! I'm planning on roasting my first batch of Gesha soon, and I'm highly interested in smelling it and tasting it for the first time. That said, when comparing old-school coffee scoring, I've tasted coffees, particularly Ethiopians, that have scored higher than the Gesha that I have, so I expect that I'll feel like you do WRT paying the premium for what is essentially equivalent to an exemplary Ethiopian coffee. Speaking of which, Sweet Maria's has a ridiculous wealth of good-looking Ethiopians right now, I told myself that I was going to roast through my existing green coffee stores before buying more but now the itch is upon me and I don't know if I'll resist.
Also, +1 for Indonesian coffees! Generally speaking, I find that they have spicy and earthy notes that I don't get from African or Central/South American coffees, and to me, they are exemplary of their region!
