In this eye-opening episode, I share my intense two-and-a-half-week journey of drinking nearly 30 cups of coffee from a single 340-gram bag. I challenged myself to brew exclusively with one medium-roast coffee using my Mugen Dripper at 200°F, experimenting with various pour techniques from one to five pours. What started as an exciting challenge quickly revealed some surprising truths about coffee consumption habits and the psychology of variety in our daily coffee ritual.

Through this experiment, I discovered that even as someone who typically drinks only one to two cups per day, 340 grams of coffee is substantial – lasting far longer than most coffee enthusiasts would prefer to stick with a single origin. I found myself getting bored with the coffee after just a third of the way through, despite being able to create different flavor profiles through various brewing techniques. This led me to explore practical solutions for coffee preservation, sharing strategies, and rethinking how we approach coffee purchasing habits. Listeners will learn valuable insights about coffee storage, the economics of specialty coffee consumption, and why variety might be more important than we realize in our coffee journey.
