Working in coffee professionally for a decade, as a barista, manager, production assistant, roaster, coach, etc, I like to make what I’ve learned available to all. This format will start off as just audios from second YouTube channel sharing the same name, but might evolve into something else over time. Hope you enjoy!

In this episode, I discuss variable RPM and their effects. To be noted- The Base burrs actually INCREASED in extraction when redialing. also, unless stated explicitly, none of this is proven and is purely conjectural at this point based on limited data and experience. This is more to provoke conversation and challenge assumptions.

This is a discussion revolving around the videos I recently posted on YouTube about distribution tools. Hopefully it clears things up!

Here, I break down how coffee goes from a seed to your cup, including the intricacies of planting, growing, picking, processing, milling, sorting, exporting, importing, and landing at your roaster. I think this is a very important episode to get a good understanding of the value supply chain! Give it a listen!
(Spotify, YT, and Apple podcasts all messed the audio up on the original and cut it in half. This should be full length)

In this episode, I sit with Pepe of Finca Soledad, one of my favorite farms in the world, to discuss his approach to producing and what the steps have looked like getting to where he is now. Very good conversation I think many would love to hear!

Considering these lives are only available IRL to Patreon peeps, all Qs asked are from them. But, I have no doubt many of them will resonate with many of you. Cheers!

I talk. A lot. and I love coffee. A lot.
I've devoted 1/3 of my life thus far to the craft and spend all of my free time (and work time) focusing on it.
By collaborating with scientists, competitive baristas, chefs, producers, and more, I plan to make engaging and educational content that is both entertaining and understandable.
Brew something tasty!
