The Espresso Diaries: Intensity vs. Appreciation
Description
In this episode, I dive deep into my personal journey with espresso and how it differs from my primary love for pour-over coffee. I explore the philosophical parallels between espresso's intense personality and human interactions, reflecting on how we don't have to love everything about our passions to appreciate them. I share my experiences with my lever machine, the Olympia Cremina from Switzerland, and how it took me over a year to learn and several more to master.
By listening to this episode, you'll gain insights into the introspective side of coffee appreciation and how our preferences reflect our approach to life itself. I discuss how espresso's boldness can be both challenging and rewarding, and how over time, I've discovered more nuance and clarity in espresso that I didn't initially think was possible. This episode is perfect for anyone on their own coffee journey who's navigating their preferences and wondering if they need to love every brewing method equally.
