Time to step up my coffee game! (Thanks, Jack Lake )
Apparently, itās time to develop my palate beyondā¦
The Bowen Coffee Evaluation System:
āļø Is it black?
āļø Is it delicious?
āļø Does it make me functional?
āļø Will I drink another? F**k yes.
Final verdict: Coffee. ā
So, here we go. Learning the art of pour-over with my Hario Switch.
Still need a better grinder. Probably need an actual coffee glass instead of whatever vessel I find in the kitchen. But this is starting to get fun!
Todayās brew:
Modcup: Andres Martinez Blackberry Co-Ferment (pretty sure )
What Iām supposed to taste:
š Blackberry compote
š« Berry yogurt
šÆ Brown sugar
What I actually tasted?
Really fu***ng good black coffee.
But I think Iām starting to pick up on some of those flavors. More importantly, Iām learning to slow down, appreciate the process, and actually pay attention to whatās in the cup.
And something tells me coffee and espresso are about to become absolute lifesavers once Little V makes her grand entrance. š¶ā¤ļø
Hereās to learning something new, one caffeinated experiment at a time.
