News & Information

DC Notes Exchange

DEFCON Notes Exchange exists so con attendees can swap and compare notes on talks in a central area. Drink too much the night before and miss a talk? Debating between two different speeches on two separate tracks? Check the notes exchange to see what other folks had to say about the talk you missed.

Rubicon Defaced?

Food for thought.

Coffee Wars
Comprehensive details, results, history and pics can be found at the official Coffeewars.org site.

First year as an official Defcon contest. Best Showing EVER. 18 entrants, over 150 votes.

Overall Results
This table presents the various entries in order of average overall
score. In the event where overall scores tied, "Taste" was used as a tiebreaker category.

Coffee Name	Entered By	Score
Jamaican Peaberry	Hook	8.3
Ground Zero Papua New Guinea	Sweetypig	7.1
Oso Negro Prince of Darkness	JP	6.7
Sulawesi Peaberry	Rob Nielson	6.7
Abyssinia & JBM Wallenford Estate	Jay Dyson	6.7
Kona	Rob Nielson	6.4
Lavazza Qualita Oro	Gurney & SpyBoy	6.4
Caffie Lobbo	Abby Normal & Annoney Moose	6.3
Indian River Roastmaster's Choice	Cheshire Catalyst	6.0
Guatemalan Queen	DaMan	5.9
Deep Snow	Cindy	5.7
Ancora d'Oro	Foofus	5.6
Kona	Tweakt	5.3
Silver Canyon French Roast	Tim	5.3
Baby's Private Buzz	Dean	5.1
Mystery Entry	(is this the other half of Jay's?)	4.9
Hot Lava Java	Dr. Vann Harl	4.8
Havana Gold	Dr. Vann Harl	3.7

Bang-For-The-Buck Results

This table presents the various entries in order of our bang-for-the-buck metric. Bang-for-the-buck is a derived statistic, calculated by dividing the overall score by the cost per pound (in US dollars). Entries for which no price data was submitted are excluded, of course. In the event of a tie, the raw overall score was used as a tiebreaker.

Coffee Name

Coffee Name	Entered By	Score
Ground Zero Papua New Guinea	Sweetypig	1.0
Ancora d'Oro	Foofus	0.8
Guatemalan Queen	DaMan	0.7
Deep Snow	Cindy	0.7
Oso Negro Prince of Darkness	JP	0.6
Silver Canyon French Roast	Tim	0.6
Indian River Roastmaster's Choice	Cheshire Catalyst	0.5
Kona	Tweakt	0.4
Baby's Private Buzz	Dean	0.4
Jamaican Peaberry	Hook	0.3

Truly, this is interesting data. First, the overall winner was also the lowest score, in terms of bang-for-the-buck. This just goes to show you that you get what you pay for, but there may be a point of diminishing returns. Similarly, the second place entry overall was also the highest bang-for-the-buck. This just goes to show you that excellent coffee does not have to cost an arm and a leg. Sometimes just an arm is sufficient. Or a leg. Whichever you'd miss less.

Miscellaneous Other Results
In other categories, the winners are as follows.

Category Name	Winning Entry	Entered By	Score
Bean Aroma	Jamaican Peaberry	Hook	8.7
Brew Aroma	Jamaican Peaberry	Hook	8.4
Brew Strength	Jamaican Peaberry	Hook	7.3
Brew Taste	Jamaican Peaberry	Hook	8.3
Brew Acidity	Jamaican Peaberry	Hook	7.8

There's a moral here, too: the winning entry was the winner overall, in all categories. There wasn't just one score that tipped the scales. Some have hypothesized that the reason that entry received such off-the-scale marks was just that it was the last entry to be sampled, and the judges were simply going crazy with the emotional release of finally finishing their hard work. Perhaps, to some small degree, this is true, but I think not greatly. This was some outstanding coffee, and it richly deserved to win.

OK. That's it for the results summary. All the data is available for download from the Coffeewars.org site, in case you want to do your own calculations.
