Coffee Culture, Types and Methods
About this Episode
Alejandro and Ishita kick off The Coffee Series by exploring the world’s most beloved brewing methods, including South Indian filtered coffee and Costa Rica’s chorreador, an odd but traditional sock-ish device. They share their personal coffee journeys, espresso routines, French press favorites, and the art of pulling a perfect shot.
Dive into the great bitterness debate, oat milk vs. dairy, and why a cappuccino might just be the ultimate coffee order. Plus, did you know Finland drinks nearly 5 cups per person per day? Or that the first webcam was invented just to monitor a coffee pot?
Whether you’re Team Iced or Team Hot, this episode is a love letter to every cup you’ve ever had.
