During Sunday dinners, my brother's coffee talk ruins the vibe

I mean, maybe it's just me, but I think coffee fans need to chill with the constant advice. During our Sunday dinners, my brother keeps talking about bean origins and brew methods. It ruins the relaxed vibe, and I just want to enjoy my cup without a lesson. He once criticized my mom's normal coffee maker in front of everyone. That made her feel bad for no reason. This kind of thing turns people off from coffee culture. We should focus on sharing the joy, not the rules.

Ugh, tell him to save the coffee lectures for another time.

My friend had to listen to coffee lectures from his barista every day.

The barista at my usual spot gives a full history of each bean. It turns a quick coffee run into a long lesson. I feel for your friend dealing with that daily.
