Well, that makes the percentages easy.
FunkyTuba:
For me this isn't intended to be criticism so much as an analysis of how the continuity's going and an attempt to see where/if things are different to what happens IRL. I'm also looking for a way to interpret what's going on in the comic with a bias toward it being consistent as written (i.e. cut Jeph some slack)
If Jeph wants the QC universe to have coffee beans that can go straight from the roaster to the grinder then great! that's his prerogative. I'll happily watch a coffee fairy deliver magic beans that make people fall in love with Dora if he chooses to draw that. However, having read the comic, this coffee thing seems (to me) to be the kind of detail that wouldn't be in that list of things with which he would usually take artistic license. And if he were to, he'd do so more explicitly by lampshading it, especially given the whole "mysterious process that Dora won't even let Faye see" angle.
We're not talking about common knowledge here... we're talking about a coffee roaster's knowledge. Dora's been characterized as a coffee roaster so I think it's reasonable for the foodies (coffee-ies?) among us to hope for story lines where she knows her stuff at a higher level than common knowledge. If it's an oversight then oh well, Jeph more than makes up for it elsewhere in the comic.
Then again maybe I'm falling into the over-analysis trap and I just need to go make another french press and wait patiently for the next update to see what if any of this Jeph cares to explore.
Tai looks like she's about to (trying to?) fall into the trap of being a rebound relationship: lots of interesting stuff there to explore as well; looking forward to seeing where Jeph hits the ball next.

Which puts this into a new perspective. And it might make you happy.
FunkyTuba:
Yeah... I remember her... she's probably delivering pixie dust for Jim's cupcakes. The pixies and the fairies fight hard for territory in Northampton.
