In this episode, I dive deep into the fundamental question that shapes every coffee drinker's journey: do you prefer acidity or sweetness in your cup? I share my personal evolution from someone who started drinking coffee just for the caffeine hit to developing a sophisticated palate that craves balance. I discuss how I initially gravitated toward acidic light roasts, similar to my tea-drinking background, and eventually discovered the magic of balanced coffees that showcase both bright acidity and natural sweetness.

I explore how understanding your preferences isn't about changing what you like, but about knowing exactly why you like it. I share insights from my recent light roast series release and experiences tasting Cup of Excellence reject coffees that were more developed and balanced than typical specialty coffee offerings. Through personal anecdotes and practical advice, I help listeners identify their own coffee compass and explain how this self-awareness can transform your coffee selection process and enhance conversations with fellow coffee enthusiasts.

What You'll Learn: By listening to this episode, you'll discover how to identify your own coffee preferences between acidity and sweetness, understand the reasoning behind your taste choices, and learn how this knowledge can guide you in selecting coffees that truly satisfy your palate every time.
