In this episode, I share a breakthrough moment I had while smoking brisket on my offset smoker and how it completely changed my approach to coffee brewing. I discovered that even though I was following advice from top barbecue experts, their methods weren't working for my specific situation because I was using different grade meat and equipment than they were. This realization hit me like a lightning bolt - I needed to trust my own instincts and adapt techniques to my unique circumstances rather than blindly following generic advice.

I explain how this barbecue epiphany directly applies to coffee brewing, emphasizing that while it's valuable to learn from coffee experts and gurus, we ultimately need to trust our own palates and preferences. I discuss the importance of understanding that advice about sweetness, acidity, and balance means different things to different people, and that we need to experiment with variables like bean origin, grind size, water temperature, and brewing methods to find what works for our specific taste preferences. By listening to this episode, you'll learn how to develop confidence in your own coffee brewing instincts and stop second-guessing yourself when creating that perfect cup.
