In this episode, I dive deep into the art of conquering any coffee bean without relying on the tasting notes printed on the bag. I explore what happens when you're faced with a new coffee and the roaster forgot to include those helpful flavor descriptors, or when they decided to get creative and just tell you a color or basic flavor profile. I share my personal approach to dialing in coffee by trusting your own palate and building your brewing protocol from experience.

I discuss the importance of treating each new bag of coffee as "game time" - a moment where you need to figure out what that specific coffee means to you, regardless of what anyone else says about it. I walk through my method of using your favorite brewing equipment, starting with familiar ratios, and then adjusting variables like grind size based on what you taste. Throughout the episode, I emphasize that this journey with each coffee is yours to take, and you don't need anyone else to tell you exactly what to do with your coffee. By listening to this episode, you'll learn how to develop confidence in your own palate and create a systematic approach to brewing any coffee you encounter, turning each new bag into an opportunity for discovery and enjoyment.
