Coffee Lovers Radio - Make And Drink Better Coffee

Following our show from last week - Fixing Bad Coffee - came the simple often met question "what coffee should I buy?" It's a question everyone face as they start exploring new coffees. We take a look at our point of view on this question, and what you might do when you find yourself wondering what step to take next.

We all run into a bad brew here and there - part of the joy of coffee is in the exploration of it, and that means from time to time you will make a brew that isn't right, and sometimes even downright bad. What you do next is important - how do you know that it is bad, and what does that mean? what questions do you ask? How do you do the right thing so that your next brew is better? We tackle all these ideas in this week's show.

Jesse and I enjoy the Yemen Hayma Hussein Al-Haba brought to the US by Mokhtar Alkhanshali and roasted by Blue Bottle. This show is a little bit of an experiment for us, as we are cupping a coffee on the show. There are more pauses and moments of silence than usual, and we are trying to interpret a sensorial experience on the fly. We would love to hear what you think!

We're back! This spring is quite an intensely busy time for us, so our podcasting has taken a back seat. We received a letter from a listener who was interested to learn more about Fair Trade and Direct Trade - so we took a trip down the Direct Trade Rabbit Hole (as Francis called it), and share some insight in this episode.

For those of you who listened to our last show... April Fool's :D We really do give a crop about our cup and want to share with you why - this episode will also serve as a good reference point for our future short 'Give a Crop About Your Cup' episodes, where we visit cafe owners, roasters, producers, and ask them why we should give a crop about their cup.

Awhile back we started a series called 'Give A Crop About Your Cup.' BUT We don't really know how much y'all actually 'give a crop.' So we thought it would be good to take an episode to share our thoughts on exactly why WE care so much about our coffee, and what that all means to us.

The Complexity of Coffee, Part 3 of 3. In this episode, Joseph and Jesse are rejoined by Shawn ‘Coffeesmith’ Leib, as we discuss the complexity of coffee in itself, and as it compares to wine, in the final stage of production - the brewing and drinking of coffee. This show was recorded in December 2015, and features some coffee which is no longer available (we also bring up some references which will sound out of place).

The Complexity of Coffee, Part 2 of 3 - Jesse and I continue our exploration on coffee complexity. Last episode we explored the complex nature of green coffee, from the simple aroma to everything involved in the production of coffee, getting it to the roaster. This episode we talk about taking that green coffee and roasting it. How does the roaster reconcile the raw nature of the coffee? How does their vision come into play? How does their desired outcome affect the complexity?

This is the beginning of a new series of short episodes called 'Give a Crop About Your Cup' - where we explore the stories behind different coffees, talking to people in the industry, so you can understand why you should truly give a crop. This series will be interspersed, as we produce them, amongst other episodes. You will have noticed a little bit of a gap between this show and the last one - the holidays took us for a bit of a spin. We are also working on a new series for next year, which I won’t spoil. Today we are joined by Andrew Russo. Andrew just returned from a trip to Nepal where, in addition to help people, he discovered a bit about the growing of coffee in that region. We asked him to share just a little bit about coffee in Nepal… Hosts: Joseph Robertson - Coffee Lovers Magazine - http://www.coffeeloversmag.com Jesse Nelson - Conduit Coffee - http://www.conduitcoffee.com Guest: Andrew Russo - Russo Roasts Coffee - http://russoroastscoffee.com/ This is a public episode.

In support of The Aeropress Down event - a local Aeropress brewing competition happening in Seattle at Morsel & Bean in Ballard on Nov 5th - we are sharing our favorite Aeropress recipes. I've included a short little bonus at the beginning of the show - this past week (after we recorded the show) I had the pleasure of interviewing Alan Adler, inventor of the Aeropress. He will be on the cover of the next issue of Coffee Lovers Magazine. Our conversation lead me to reconsider my approach with the Aeropress, and now I am experimenting with lower water temperature, finer grind, and shorter brew times. The recipe we use still produces a very fine cup of coffee - however this illustrates the extreme diversity of options available in brewing with the Aeropress.
