KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THE PODCAST

  • Jonny Pops are the best popsicles ever.

  • Chris suggested I brew smaller cups with the Kalita Wave (12-15g of ground beans), and it has been working! I’m still not an expert but the improvements have been notable.

  • Coffee theory of extraction doesn’t always match up with real-world brewing results. All the various flavor extractions are happening simultaneously. All components of a brew—from start to finish—are important to the final results.

  • Brew your entire batch into one vessel!

  • Unless you want to perform a ruler test. Split your brew batch into thirds—1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Taste test each batch to see how the flavors being extracted changed during the brewing process.

  • Just because a coffee isn’t perfect doesn’t mean it isn’t drinkable!

A coffee bar made of live edge wood has been been built up over the bicycle's front tire and is covered in hot water kettles and pour over devices. A lower shelf holds tall white tins filled with coffee beans for sale and burlap coffee sacks hang underneath the shelves covering up the guts of the machine. A video screen projection of a mountain is on the back wall under a pink flamingo hanging next to a mini-rainbow flag from a water pipe near the ceiling.
