I’ve heard your coffee routine is almost like a design project—how do you pick a brewing method without getting lost in the details?
Markus
I usually start with a sketch—like a quick mood board of what I want that cup to feel like. Do I want something bold and edgy, or smooth and quiet? Then I think about the tools I have. If I’ve got a fancy pour‑over set, I’ll pick that, because it’s all about precision and letting the beans speak. If the grinder’s broken, I’ll go for a French press or a cold brew; it’s just easier, and I still get a good flavor. I try to keep the list short—just a couple of options, pick the one that feels right, and then sip. If I feel stuck, I just take a coffee break and let the taste settle. It’s all about trusting the vibe, not the perfect process.

You treat coffee like a field plan—good, but don’t let the mood board become a distraction. Stick to the essentials, test the outcome, and if the grinder is broken, that’s a reminder to keep backup gear ready. Keep it short, execute, then review.

Sounds good, I’ll keep the plan tight, test it out, and maybe buy a spare grinder so I’m not stuck. Thanks for the heads‑up!

A spare grinder is a solid buffer. Keep it tidy and you won’t waste time.
