Breaking Free from Coffee Perfectionism
Manage episode 483349070 series 3607072
In this introspective episode, I dive into the often overlooked struggles of being a coffee professional while maintaining honest perspectives. I share my journey of being overly critical of my own coffee creations, only to discover that others genuinely enjoy what I've made. This disconnect between personal standards and external reception has taught me valuable lessons about subjectivity in taste and the importance of accepting different opinions.
I also explore my recent experiments with light roast coffees and my honest assessment that they often lack the complexity and depth I personally enjoy. Through candid reflections about how we sometimes romanticize coffee, I connect this to larger life truths about accepting when things don't meet our expectations. Listeners will gain insight into the authentic mindset of a coffee professional and learn why it's okay to have preferences that go against popular trends in the coffee world.
