In this episode, I dive deep into my experience with the Oxo brewer, a slow brewing device that has completely changed my perspective on coffee extraction and patience. I share how I've been using this brewer for about a month and a half, and the valuable lessons it has taught me about working within constraints to create exceptional coffee. I explore the concept of slow brewing and how it differs from the fast filters that dominate today's coffee scene.

I discuss four key insights I've gained from using the Oxo brewer: how slower doesn't mean worse but rather less forgiving, how slow brews demand your attention and mindfulness, how they serve as excellent teachers for understanding extraction, and how they can highlight balance and body in ways that faster brewing methods often miss. Listeners will learn about the importance of grind size optimization for slow brewers, the value of patience in coffee brewing, and how embracing constraints can lead to better coffee and deeper self-understanding. Whether you're a seasoned coffee enthusiast or someone looking to slow down and appreciate the nuances of coffee brewing, this episode offers practical insights and philosophical reflections on the art of making coffee.
