About

Community educator who teaches pour-over basics with tap water and common grinders. Focused on clarity, sweetness, and confidence for new brewers.

Background

At a neighborhood library workshop, we brewed with whatever folks brought: tap water, grocery beans, hand grinders of every era. We mapped one change at a time—rinsed filter, finer grind, steadier bloom. Faces lit up when sweetness appeared. That’s when beginners realize control beats gadgets, every single time.

Perspective

I recommend forgiving drippers, medium roasts, and simple water fixes for early success.
