In this insightful episode, I explore the fascinating relationship between emotions and coffee brewing. I discuss how most coffee enthusiasts, especially those with technical backgrounds like myself, tend to approach brewing with precision and data-driven methods. However, I challenge this notion by introducing an experimental approach where emotions guide the brewing process. I share my plans to conduct a series of experiments using different brewing methods like French Press, Hario V60, AeroPress, and potentially a Moka pot or percolator, all while letting emotions dictate the process rather than precise measurements.

Listeners will learn about a unique perspective on coffee brewing that combines technical knowledge with emotional intelligence, and gain insights into how varying your approach can lead to new discoveries in your coffee journey. I also share interesting insights about a special Brazilian coffee that breaks traditional flavor profiles, demonstrating how even familiar origins can surprise us with unexpected characteristics.
