Coffee Civil Wars: When Preferences Clash at Home

Send us a text

In this episode, I dive into what I call the "Civil War" of coffee brewing at home - when your partner, family members, or housemates don't share the same coffee obsession or preferences as you. I share my personal experience with my wife, who initially got me into coffee but hasn't gone as deep down the rabbit hole as I have. While she's content with creamer in her coffee brewed from a regular machine, I've become obsessed with pour-overs, specialty beans, distilled water with added minerals, and precision grinders.

I explore the tensions that arise when coffee preferences clash within a household, comparing it to how I keep my thoughts to myself about her wine obsession. Listeners will learn how to navigate these "coffee civil wars" while respecting each other's journeys and preferences, understanding that at the end of the day, your coffee journey is personal - even when shared with others who may not fully appreciate your level of dedication.
