I absolutely love coffee. And I don't mean that in a way that I'm dependent on it to be awake and get work done. Coffee is my second biggest hobby just after programming. I'm so glad Nick Cho is the author of this article because he's the person who turned me on to the Kalita[0] products that have taken my home coffee brewing addiction to a whole new level. Nick also has another great video of the technicalities of brewing pourover coffee[1]. It's a great watch.
I think coffee is a lot like programming, really. Coffee is incredibly simple when you distill it down to the basics, which is what pourovers do. Hot water, ground beans, gravity and time. That's it. And just like software, we have complicated the heck out of coffee with all of these electronic machines that promise a decent cup of coffee in 30 seconds.
Coffee is something I love to share with other people. As I've gone from workplace to workplace I always bring my hand grinder, kettle and Kalita dripper with me. After the eyebrows are done being raised, my coworkers have always embraced the quality of the coffee as well as the fun experience of making coffee together. It's been great for the culture of the companies I've worked at.
