Coffee’s Biggest Meme: Soup (Explained!)

“Soup” coffee might look like a joke, and honestly, that’s part of why it works.

In this video we take the focus OFF of recipes and zoom out, because that’s the whole point. Soup didn’t start as a method. It started as nothing more than a cup that was shockingly good without being fussy. And once you see coffee as a spectrum instead of a test, soup starts to make a lot of sense.
