Why Fresh Coffee Isn't Always Best

Everyday Beans Podcast - Mostly About Coffee and... ·

2026/04/21

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I'm talking about something that changed the way I enjoy coffee forever: the lifespan of a roasted bean. For years, I drank my coffee a couple of days after roast because it felt right, and I even told other people to do the same. Everything online tells you to drink it as fresh as possible. But the more I experimented, the more I realized that fresh doesn't always mean best. I pushed my rest time from one week to two, then three, and now I'm comfortably drin...

Why Do You Brew Coffee?

Everyday Beans Podcast - Mostly About Coffee and... ·

2026/04/16

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I get into the heart of what I believe is the foundation of any real coffee journey: knowing your why. My why is curiosity. It is wanting to understand why coffee does what it does, why it tastes the way it tastes, and why certain variables move the needle while others barely make a dent. I talk about the early fear and frustration that came with committing to this path, and how pushing through that uncertainty is exactly what started making things clearer. I...

EK 43: Why I Don't Talk About My Best Grinder

Everyday Beans Podcast - Mostly About Coffee and... ·

2026/04/14

Send us Fan Mail I sat down with my Mahlkönig EK 43 grinder and had an honest conversation about why I rarely talk about what might be the best piece of coffee equipment I own. After 12 years with this $3,500 grinder, I've discovered something unsettling: having the absolute best tools doesn't always lead to satisfaction—sometimes it reveals uncomfortable truths about coffee itself. I share my journey through gear acquisition syndrome, from the Baratza Virtuoso to hand grinders and back to th...

Ethiopian White Honey Taught Me This

Everyday Beans Podcast - Mostly About Coffee and... ·

2026/04/09

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I get real about one of the most frustrating experiences a coffee brewer can have — doing everything "right" and still ending up with a flat, lifeless cup. I was working with an Ethiopian white honey process, medium roast that leaned lighter, and no matter what I threw at it — different grinders, different filters, faster pours — the coffee just wasn't responding. What I eventually realized was that I had been forcing the coffee into my routine instead of lis...

Co-Ferment Coffee: When Coffee Smells Exactly Like It...

Everyday Beans Podcast - Mostly About Coffee and... ·

2026/04/07

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I finally sit down with the co-fermented coffees I've been tasting over the past couple of days — specifically the Peach and Green Apple varieties — and give you my honest, unfiltered take on what actually happened. I was genuinely pleasantly surprised when I first cracked open these beans. The aroma was intense off the whole bean, and when I ground them, it only amplified. What struck me most was something I rarely experience with coffee: the smell was a dir...

Co-Ferments: Hype or Real Coffee?

Everyday Beans Podcast - Mostly About Coffee and... ·

2026/04/02

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I share my honest, unfiltered predictions about two co-ferment coffees I roasted about a month ago — a Colombian carbonic honey green apple and a Colombian carbonic honey peach, both from Royal Coffee's Crown Jewel selection. Before I even take a sip, I walk through what I'm smelling, what I'm sensing, and what I genuinely expect these coffees to deliver. The green apple is one of the most intensely aromatic coffees I've ever smelled fresh off the roaster, an...

Washed Coffees Are Not Done Yet

Everyday Beans Podcast - Mostly About Coffee and... ·

2026/03/31

Send us Fan Mail I've said it before and I'll say it again: the best coffee in the world is most likely a washed coffee. It took me a while to get there, but after trying naturals, co-ferments, double ferments, and everything in between, I keep coming back to washed coffees. There's something about the way they challenge you, the way the flavors stay subtle and restrained at first, and then slowly open up as the cup cools. They don't give you everything up front. You have to work for it. And ...

Just Make a Cup of Coffee Already

Everyday Beans Podcast - Mostly About Coffee and... ·

2026/03/26

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I get real about something I've been thinking about a lot lately — the growing pile of tools, gadgets, and precision instruments that have slowly crept into my coffee routine. I walk through the contrast between my French press setup, where precision was never the goal, and the rabbit hole that pour-over brewing has sent me down — drip assist devices, melodrip, refractometers, special water, and everything in between. I ask an honest question that I think a l...

How to Bend Coffee to Your Taste Preferences

Everyday Beans Podcast - Mostly About Coffee and... ·

2026/03/24

Send us Fan Mail I dive deep into one of the most powerful concepts in coffee brewing: manipulation. In this episode, I explore how we, as coffee brewers, have the ability to bend and shape coffee to match our personal preferences through our choice of equipment, technique, and understanding. I break down how every decision we make—from choosing a flat-bed brewer versus a cone-shaped filter, selecting our grinder, adjusting our water chemistry, and even picking our paper filters—gives us cont...

Is Coffee Smell a Preview or a Promise?

Everyday Beans Podcast - Mostly About Coffee and... ·

2026/03/19

Send us Fan Mail I've been thinking a lot about smell — specifically, how much it really matters when it comes to coffee. In this episode, I take you through my relationship with coffee aroma, going all the way back to the first time I walked into a roastery and got hit with that wave of smell before I even stepped through the door. I knew right then I was addicted. But over the years, I've come to realize that smell — as intoxicating as it is — doesn't always tell the whole story. Sometimes ...

Stop Buying Grinders: Find Your Context First

Everyday Beans Podcast - Mostly About Coffee and... ·

2026/03/17

Send a text In this episode, I take you through my personal journey with coffee grinders, specifically comparing the Kin Grinder K2, K6, K Ultra, and the ZP6. I started with a basic hand grinder and gradually expanded my collection to better understand how different grinders affect coffee clarity, flavor profiles, and overall brewing experience. I discuss why I transitioned from the K2 to the K6 for its improved espresso capabilities, then explored the ZP6 for its exceptional clarity with pou...

Why Does Coffee Need So Much Help?

Everyday Beans Podcast - Mostly About Coffee and... ·

2026/03/12

Send a text I've been brewing coffee for a while now, and if I'm honest, my journey started with something beautifully simple: a brewer, a filter, some coffee, and water. That was it. A simple recipe with a bloom and a couple of pours, and I was making fantastic, great-tasting coffee without any issues. But somewhere along the way, I fell deep into the rabbit hole — and I'll be the first to admit I'm guilty of it too. I've accumulated grinders, scales, boosters, specialty brewers, TDS meters,...

Don't Give Up on Your Coffee Yet

Everyday Beans Podcast - Mostly About Coffee and... ·

2026/03/10

Send a text I gave up on a Nicaraguan coffee — and I'm so glad I did, because that mistake led to one of the most surprising brewing discoveries I've had in years. In this episode, I walk through my experience with a strictly highly grown, European-prepared, organic Nicaraguan coffee that simply refused to cooperate at every ratio I tried. I tested it as a light roast, a medium roast, and a dark roast. I pushed the water chemistry, I switched brewers, I adjusted grind size — and nothing worke...

Stop Being a Coffee Purist: Blend It

Everyday Beans Podcast - Mostly About Coffee and... ·

2026/03/05

Send a text In this episode, I dive deep into a topic that I avoided for years—blending and mixing coffees. For the longest time, I was a purist, strictly dedicated to single origin coffees. I romanticized the origin stories, the soil, the elevations, the farmers, and the unique characteristics of each coffee. Single origins felt sacred, like something I shouldn't alter or mess with. But as I've pushed my understanding and love for coffee further, I've discovered that blending isn't cheating—...

Are You Brewing or Just Measuring?

Everyday Beans Podcast - Mostly About Coffee and... ·

2026/03/03

Send a text In this episode, I dive deep into the paradox of precision in coffee brewing and question whether my obsession with exactness has actually robbed me of the joy I once felt. I reflect on my journey from the simplicity of the French press—just ground coffee, water, and time—to the world of scales, refractometers, temperature-controlled kettles, and my Timemore Sculptor 78SS grinder. I talk about how precision tools like scales and kettles transformed my brewing from experimentation ...

ZP6 vs Fellow Ode: Same Coffee, New Story

Everyday Beans Podcast - Mostly About Coffee and... ·

2026/02/27

Send a text I recently put the ZP6 grinder to the test with a dark roast Honduras coffee—a bean I know intimately with its orangey top notes that fade into mellow chocolate. Most people claim this "clarity king" grinder only works well with light and medium roasts, but I wasn't convinced. What I discovered changed how I think about grinders entirely. I went finer than the recommended sweet spot, pushing down to a 2 on the dial when most people stay between 4 and 5.5, and the separation remain...

How I Unlocked Hidden Coffee Flavors for $10

Everyday Beans Podcast - Mostly About Coffee and... ·

2026/02/25

Send a text In this episode, I dive deep into the one piece of coffee equipment that changed everything for me—a simple TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) meter. For less than $10, this unassuming device has unlocked flavors in my coffee that I didn't think were possible anymore. I talk about how understanding water hardness through this meter has made my lightly roasted Kenyan coffees finally show their sweetness, made my Brazilian coffees more expressive, and eliminated the inconsistency that use...

Sometimes Coffee Just Sucks (And That's OK)

Send a text In this episode, I explore the uncomfortable reality of mastering coffee: sometimes, despite all your knowledge and skill, a coffee just doesn't work for you. I'm diving deep into my experience with a Nicaraguan organic, strictly high-grown, European-prepared coffee that on paper should be spectacular, but in practice leaves me completely uninspired. I detail my extensive experimentation with this coffee—different roast levels, multiple brewing methods, various filters, different ...

Month With Zpresso ZP6: What They Don't Tell You

Send a text I spent the last month testing the ZP6 grinder, and I think it's time I share my honest thoughts about this budget clarity grinder that everyone's been talking about. In this episode, I dive deep into what I discovered after grinding coffee daily with this thing - from its surprisingly limited useful grind range to the way it completely separates flavor profiles in a way I wasn't expecting. I talk about how only settings 2 through 6 are actually worth using out of the 111 total cl...

Send a text In this episode, I dive deep into the psychology and passion of light roasted coffee drinkers—a group I used to belong to but now observe from a different perspective. I explore why these coffee enthusiasts are so unapologetic about their preferences, how they chase that next hit of unique acidity and complexity, and why they'll spend almost any amount of money on specialized grinders, filters, water chemistry, and accessories to extract that perfect cup. I share my own recent exp...
