Manage episode 490494169 series 3607072
In this episode, I dive deep into what it truly means to be a "coffee nerd" after being inspired by a comment on one of my YouTube videos about brewing coffee at 160 degrees. I explore how coffee nerds are people who are fascinated by the details, who geek out over the process, and who constantly seek to understand why things work the way they do. I share my personal journey of being someone who's always enjoyed learning and discovery, explaining how I apply this mindset to my coffee exploration.
I discuss how being a coffee nerd means embracing the challenges that come with brewing the perfect cup, appreciating how variables change daily, and finding joy in the continuous pursuit of improvement. Listeners will learn about the different ways people engage with coffee culture, whether as geeks, nerds, snobs, purists, or casual drinkers, and how these passionate explorations ultimately benefit the entire coffee community through shared knowledge and discoveries.
