Join me as I embark on my 2025 coffee resolution to find true clarity - not just in the cup, but in understanding flavor on a deeper level. I'm starting fresh with a new grinder and rediscovering brewing from square one. This journey isn't just about gear or techniques - it's about training our palates, challenging our perceptions, and truly understanding what we taste. In this video, I share my plan to explore clarity through various experiments - tasting foods differently, adjusting brewing variables, testing extraction theories, and even revisiting commercial coffees. Clarity isn't just about specialty coffee - it's about developing a fundamental understanding that can transform how we experience coffee and perhaps even other aspects of life.
