Have We Peaked in Coffee Brewing Technology?

In this episode, I explore a thought-provoking question that's been on my mind: Have we peaked in coffee brewing technology? As I tested a new coffee brewer that reminds me of the Hario V60, I found myself wondering if we're becoming too focused on gear rather than the coffee itself. I discuss how pour-over methods, French press, and other brewing technologies all essentially accomplish the same task - extracting flavor from coffee beans with water.

I share my perspective on how sticking with just a few brewing methods might actually enhance our coffee experience by allowing us to focus more on the beans, our palate development, and troubleshooting skills. Listeners will learn my thoughts on the balance between appreciating coffee gear and truly enjoying the essence of coffee itself, plus gain insights into how an experienced coffee enthusiast approaches the ever-expanding world of brewing equipment.
