Why Brood, You Philistine?

It's a question that haunts the dreams of baristas everywhere.

A brood of espresso-fueled geniuses, we're a delicate balance of art and science.

Or so we tell ourselves.

Why brood? To perfect the pour-over, of course.

Why brood? To conjure the perfect cappuccino.

Why brood? To brew the most divine drip coffee known to man.

Or maybe it's just because we're all secretly caffeine-addled, sleep-deprived, pseudo-intellectuals with a penchant for existential dread?

Either way, it's a question for the ages.

Or, you know, just go ask the coffee gods. They're probably brooding about something.
