Coffee Lovers Radio - Make And Drink Better Coffee

On this show, we talk all about Decaffeinated Coffee. This is a subject which is often met with derision in the world of coffee for a variety of reasons - because why drink coffee when it doesn't have caffeine, because decaf is gross, etc. We discover that much of the reason we rarely drink Decaf - which can be quite delicious - is that most of the time quality decaf is limited to very few coffees. We want to explore the wondrous taste of coffee and all it has to offer, and much of the time the coffee we personally enjoy just isn't available in decaf form. That is until now. Our guest on this show is Andy Liu, founder and creator of Decafino, a product that can completely decaffeinate any cup of brewed coffee in minutes.

We've mentioned on multiple occasions what we've come to call 'The Warsaw' method - this is a method of brewing French Press wherein you remove the top layer of foam before pressing (nothing revolutionary).

Roasting your own coffee is one of the nerdiest and most rewarding ways you can enjoy coffee. There's nothing quite like having that direct of a connection to the coffee. If you think this is about being frugal, think again - it's so much more. In this episode, Joseph shares his experience dipping his toes into the world of home roasting.

We talk a lot about making the best brew that you can with various methods on this show - but usually, when we are brewing we are using Light to Medium roasted coffees. Some of the things we talk about have different variables when coffee is roasted dark. On this episode, we talk about what makes dark roasted coffee different from light, and why that matters to you.

Being people who are passionate about the craft of coffee, we're naturally going to be hand brewing quite frequently. But the question stands, why should you (perhaps an average drinker of coffee at home) brew your coffee by hand?

In this episode, we attempt to address the myth that you don't want to brew with water that is too hot - that you can 'burn' your coffee. In order to test the water temperature myth, we also brew coffee at a lower temp so we can share just how important a high water temperature is in your brew. We brew 3 V60s, one at 190F, one at 200F, and one at ~210F (just off boiling). Is brewing just off boiling going to ruin your brew? Will it be better/worse? On the flip side, what happens when you brew below 200?

Coffee is HUGE - it's bigger throughout the world than you can really imagine, even given that you can find it on every single corner. All of our individual experiences with coffee is through single cups. Just a bit of beans at a time, consuming a pound or two here and there. In this episode we explore one of the critical roles in getting coffee to you... We visit The Green Room, a massive coffee storage warehouse in Auburn Washington - in this space (which turns out to be half the size of an Ikea, approx), the folks at The Green Room climate control store around 100k bags of green coffee at any given time (translating to some 10-15 million pounds). This is an important waypoint between import of coffee and the roaster, a place for coffee to stay safe, secure, and stable, before it's final destination. On the show we take you on a tour, and try to give you an impression of this important step in the coffee supply chain.
