Background

That is the story, how a cup of black coffee changes the perspective of how he thinks about the world! It’s the way from using the knowledge as filling formulas without caring other factors, from a student of choosing ABCE to the young man who is going to ask an open question, analyze information, and do their own experiments to make his own decisions.

6 years ago, a boy who is 20 years old got an eye-opening experience when he test the “pour-over coffee”.

What!? $ 150, per cup of coffee? Are you kidding me!?

Did I make the bad friend? Someone ever said: Kids who learned musical instruments would not turn bad. We were in the same rock band before, he was the crazy guitar, definely rocker(*Performing long hair, and shaking head) > If I’m parents, I definitely will doubt if he is a good friend, tell my boy” Never have fun with the people like him”

Brief introduction for the generation, my cost of living is 200$ per day. This lesson told me what is broke life(吃土).

So what did you think about this friend? (To interact and connect with the audience)

Siphon coffee — I’m stunned by this taste!

Anyway, I still came with this guy don’t know which magic did he use.

In my experiemence, coffee is bitter, why did he love it so much? I have no idea why to spend so much $ buying a coffee.

When I just stepped into a coffee shop, this magic attracted me immediately and deeply.

Wow, is that some kind of experiment? What is this aroma? So smooth! It challenged my perspective! That is the coffee! I started to be interested in it. I just sit in front of the Barista and order my first “pour-over coffee”.

The journey of coffee aroma

  1. Pick coffee beans. It a new way to explore the world! I choose the coffee beans from South Africa “Ethiopia”. I touched the coffee beans and smelled it! Which is so real!
  2. Grind coffee beans. When the grinder started, the aroma pervaded all coffee shop!
  3. Make coffee.
  4. Sip the coffee of “Yirgacheffe”(耶加雪菲), is that a tea?! Not bitter!! I taste the flavor of flowers and citrus. At that moment, I find the deep connection between coffee and my soul.

Just realized how we get something, we usually 80% of it is to get the end result. And plus dominant ideology keep the money on what ever you can spend, thanks the marketing team. When we tasted some food which is bad, we won’t choose it again. People like to stick the tag! (It’s human being!)

Confirmation bias 認知偏差

If I didn’t come with him, I may miss the inspiration for coffee.

The moment I realized that there is the fact I knew which isn’t completely right! What about other fields?

Have you guys watched the movie “The Truman Show” I just realized I lived the world created by some one, but what is the real world? It’s the beginning of my journey to build the world by my assumption and experiement.

For example, I was struggling the cost, because I fell in love with coffee. How could I have a cup of energetic coffee every day 150$? I learned it by reading the book, taking the course of coffee, owning my remote coffee studio! Finally I could drink the classic coffee every day by 30$!

It’s the attitude to challenge something we may know!
