Everyday Beans Podcast - Mostly About Coffee and Other Stuff

In this episode, I dive deep into the psychology of taste and why we "doctor" our coffee. I explore how adding cream, sugar, or other additives to coffee is similar to how we enhance other foods and beverages with condiments and seasonings. Through personal experimentation and reflection, I share insights about how coffee can become an "adult hot cocoa" when doctored, bringing comfort and nostalgia to many drinkers. I also discuss my evolution from being a coffee purist to understanding and appreciating why people modify their coffee to suit their tastes.

Listeners will learn about the various perspectives on coffee consumption, from enjoying it black to appreciate its natural nuances, to transforming it into a comforting beverage with additives. I also share personal experiences about how different people, including my wife, can still taste coffee's subtle characteristics even with cream added.
