A 'Not-so-complete' List of Coffee Related Acronyms

Those who read and post to the Sweetmaria's Homeroast list are regularly tossing around acronyms which are shorthand for coffee terms or specific coffees. It was suggested that we keep a list somewhere as a reference to the meaning of the various acronyms.

Thanks to Dave Lowe, Paul Jolly and others for contributing to this list.

Here it is, in all of it's limited glory...
