In this episode, I share my recent experience with the Hario Mugen dripper and why feeling awkward with new brewing devices is actually a good thing. I tell the story of unboxing this unique brewer that's designed for single-pour brewing, and how I initially struggled with terrible-tasting coffee that left me frustrated and confused. The MOOGIN's design without ridges creates a completely different brewing experience compared to the familiar Hario V60, holding coffee in the bed much longer and requiring a completely different approach.
I discuss how this initial discomfort and frustration led to growth and understanding as I experimented with different recipes and grind sizes. Through persistence and embracing the awkwardness, I eventually discovered what makes this brewer special - its ability to develop unique flavors through its distinctive design and drawdown characteristics. Listeners will learn why pushing through brewing discomfort is essential for coffee growth, how to approach new devices with patience, and why the journey from frustration to mastery is valuable both in coffee and in life. I also share insights about spending quality time with brewing equipment to truly understand its potential.
