My neighbor saw my pour over setup on the porch and asked if I was brewing tea, got me thinking about how I explain coffee to people
She watched me bloom 30 grams of beans for like 45 seconds and just said it looked like a science project, which honestly isn't wrong. Made me realize I stopped noticing how weird this hobby looks from the outside, like when I weigh beans to 0.1 grams but can't be bothered to measure anything else in my kitchen. Anyone else ever get humbled by a totally normal person watching you make coffee?

Watching someone watch you brew is the real test of how deep you are. My wife timed me once and said I spent four minutes on a single cup, then pointed out I drink it in like 90 seconds. The worst part is when they ask why you wet the filter first, and you gotta explain that a dry paper filter tastes like cardboard, and they just stare at you like you joined a cult. Then you hand them the cup anyway and they go quiet for a second, and that tiny pause kinda says it all.
