The Perfect Morning Cup
Like Duolingo, but for The Perfect Morning Cup. Tomo turns the whole topic into a game you play five minutes a day, until it actually sticks.
For the part of you with thirty open tabs that never became anything.
A short one: 11 levels across 2 sections, about 22 minutes end to end, roughly 4 days at five minutes a day. It moves through Brewing Better Today and Choosing Your Beans. It starts from scratch.

Key ideas in The Perfect Morning Cup
- Boiling water can scorch coffee grounds
- The Golden Ratio is the industry standard
- Waiting after boiling brings water to ideal range
- Too much water results in a thin brew
- Water just below boiling extracts flavor gently
- Too much coffee results in syrupy intensity
- Identifying the correct water temperature
- Applying the standard ratio of coffee to water
- Fresh coffee contains carbon dioxide that pushes water away
- Gases create bubbles that prevent even saturation of the grounds
- The bloom ensures the water can actually penetrate the coffee to extract flavor
- Under-extraction (short time) leaves behind sweetness, resulting in sourness
- Understanding the purpose of the bloom phase
- Over-extraction (long time) pulls out dry, ashy, and bitter compounds
- Extraction time acts as the primary control for flavor balance
- Connecting brew time to the resulting flavor profile
