What's your own personal Specialty Coffee act of heresy?
Specialty coffee has it's own wild suite of dogmas and rules; there's all sorts of things we're "supposed" to do - or not. Many of these have all sorts of very good reasons and even some have scientific backing.
But we all have one or two we absolutely deviate from, despite all that. What's yours?
The most common breach of norms is that I brew almost everything at far weaker ratios than is considered normal; I use a 1:22 or so.
My other big sacrilege is that I tend to enjoy almost any coffee I get my hands on. I can tell the difference, I can appreciate fines coffees from finest farms and roasters - but I can also enjoy far more casual coffees and drinks that would be sniffed at by firmest Specialty sacraments.
