Why Your Coffee Always Tastes The Same (And That's OK!)

It Smells Better Than It Taste — a quiet coffee newsletter where I share what I’m learning about coffee, curiosity, and daily rituals, this channel is an extension of that space: https://www.itsmellsbetterthanittaste.com/ #coffeebrewing #v60coffee #brewingmethods In this video, I ask a tough question: do all coffees taste the same when using the same brewing setup? Inspired by conversations with a friend, I dive into how much control we really have over coffee flavor. I test different brewing techniques, filters, and equipment like the Hario V60 Switch to explore the nuances of taste. ☕ Key Highlights: Questioning if brewing recipes truly create significant flavor differences Testing coffee using the Hario V60 Switch and Mr. Coffee machine How different brewing setups influence taste, body, and aroma Reflections on whether we’re overcomplicating coffee recipes Why we experiment with coffee and what it means to express ourselves through brewing What are your thoughts on coffee brewing methods and flavor control?
