Embracing Subtlety in Your Coffee Journey

In this episode, I dive into how our coffee brewing equipment can actually reveal our deeper preferences in coffee. I explore the fascinating idea that subtlety - something I previously suggested might rob us of joy - might actually be the missing piece in our coffee journey. Through my recent experiences testing different brewers like the Hario Pegasus and Oxo Brewer, I've discovered something surprising about my own preferences: I actually prefer slower drawdowns for a sweeter, more exciting cup.

I demonstrate the physical differences between various brewers, focusing on how the size of the drip hole dramatically affects brew time and flavor profile. By taking time to use different equipment daily rather than doing quick back-to-back comparisons, I've gained insights into what truly matters for my palate. I encourage listeners to experiment independently, trying affordable new brewers to discover their own preferences without being overly influenced by others' opinions. This episode is perfect for coffee enthusiasts looking to understand their own preferences better and break out of brewing ruts.
