KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THE PODCAST
Jonny Pops are the best popsicles ever.
Chris suggested I brew smaller cups with the Kalita Wave (12-15g of ground beans), and it has been working! I’m still not an expert but the improvements have been notable.

Brew your entire batch into one vessel!
Unless you want to perform a ruler test. Split your brew batch into thirds—1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Taste test each batch to see how the flavors being extracted changed during the brewing process.
Just because a coffee isn’t perfect doesn’t mean it isn’t drinkable!
