This episode of AA Cafe is a little different. My editing went a bit off from normal. Mark and I discuss the future of coffee brewing, along with a little reminisce of our personal coffee histories. DoubleShot baristas chime in with their ideas for the coffee brewer of the future.

Check out these videos shot by Miguel Wickert during his Coffee Freshness Experiments. Notice the blooming (like a jellyfish), and the stale coffee not blooming (like a sieve).
