Your Coffee Journey: What Are You Chasing?
In this episode, I conduct a taste test comparing coffee ground with two different grinders: a Kin hand grinder and a Baratza Virtuoso electric grinder. Using the same decaf coffee, brewing method (Hario V60), and Third Way water, I explore whether there's a significant difference in taste quality between these grinders. Surprisingly, the results are quite similar, with only slightly more clarity in the hand-ground coffee. This leads me to reflect on what coffee enthusiasts are truly "chasing" in their brewing journey - whether it's clarity, body, or specific flavor profiles. I discuss how water quality might be the real star of the show, with Third Way water helping to create an even playing field for tasting.
By listening to this episode, you'll gain insights into how much grinders really matter in your coffee brewing setup and whether expensive equipment upgrades are necessary for your personal coffee goals. You'll also learn about my approach to coffee clarity and how different variables like water, grind size, and brewing methods affect what you taste in your cup.
