In this episode, I explore the profound connection between coffee brewing and life philosophy, focusing on how having options transforms our relationship with both coffee and daily living. I share my personal journey from being a "coffee slut" who would quickly move from one bag to the next, to someone who now savors and explores each coffee's multiple personalities through different brewing methods and water chemistry combinations. I discuss how having various brewers - from affordable $10-12 options to my favorite $25 "little cute one" - has allowed me to discover that what initially seemed like a grapefruity coffee can transform into something completely different with a darker roast profile and coarser grind settings.
Throughout the episode, I draw parallels between coffee exploration and maintaining excitement in relationships, explaining how options prevent boredom and create opportunities for deeper appreciation. I reflect on my preference for medium to dark roasts and how African coffees pushed to second crack reveal unexpected sweetness and complexity. By the end of this episode, you'll understand how embracing options in coffee brewing can teach valuable lessons about creativity, patience, and finding joy in the present moment, whether you're working with abundant choices or creative constraints.
