In this thought-provoking episode, I dive deep into a question that's been weighing on my mind: what truly constitutes a "game changer" in the coffee world? I challenge the overuse of this term and examine whether the latest innovations in coffee brewing, roasting, and processing are actually revolutionary or just incremental improvements on existing methods.

I share my honest observations from attending the SCA this year and reflect on the current state of coffee innovation in 2025. From pourover drippers to co-fermented coffees, from the Moka Master to my trusty 1967 Olympia Cremina, I question whether we're seeing real breakthroughs or just variations on familiar themes. Listeners will gain a fresh perspective on evaluating coffee innovations critically and learn to distinguish between genuine game changers and marketing hype. I also explore what it means to be honest about the current state of coffee innovation and why that honesty might be more valuable than chasing the next "revolutionary" product.
