In this episode, I'm getting real about my evolving relationship with coffee and where I'm heading in the new year. I've been reflecting on my coffee journey over the past couple of weeks, especially as I've been exploring clarity in my brews, and I'm realizing that my love for coffee is becoming more specific and intentional. I talk about how I don't care much for really light roasted coffees anymore—they tend to taste all the same to me with their forward acidity and lack of sweetness. I'm gravitating toward medium roasts, but only certain ones that hit that sweet spot of balance and intensity. I also share my honest thoughts about naturals, espresso, cold brew, and the various brewing methods I've been experimenting with.

The bigger revelation I'm sharing is that I want to move beyond just collecting gear and talking about equipment superiority. I want to understand why I like certain coffees and why I don't—truly understanding my palate and what coffee means to me personally. This episode is about challenging myself to go deeper, to understand the "why" behind my preferences, and to explore coffee as a journey of self-discovery rather than just gear accumulation. If you're looking to understand your own coffee preferences better and move beyond the endless gear chase, this episode will give you perspective on how to approach coffee with more intention and curiosity.
