Coffee Lovers Radio - Make And Drink Better Coffee

This episode of Coffee Lovers Radio is a bit of a special episode - we by happenstance debut the 'Coffee Lovers Test Kitchen,' following up on a test we did just prior to the show. The notion that you should grind your coffee right before brewing is one which is commonly accepted - however, no one can tell you exactly why, or what happens if you grind an hour, a day, or a week in advance. Does the coffee really go bad? How much are you missing out by grinding in advance? Or, did we find contrary evidence to suggest that you can you save yourself the trouble of grinding right before brewing? Find out on this special episode... Mentioned on this episode is our very first 'Coffee Lovers Test Kitchen' test, the storage test, which we conducted last year. You can find that here: http://www.coffeelovershq.com/coffee-storage-test/ Hosts: Joseph Robertson - Coffee Lovers Magazine - http://www.coffeeloversmag.com Jesse Nelson - Conduit Coffee - http://www.conduitcoffee.com This is a public episode.

Does the word 'Decaf' make you cringe, or perhaps just say "why?" Having been delightfully surprised by several decaf coffees, I took the opportunity to tour the Swiss Water Process decaf factory, and learned all there is to know about decaf. I went over in detail all the wonderful things about decaf in issue 25 of Coffee Lovers Magazine (which is now published) - and we wanted to continue the conversation in this episode of Coffee Lovers Radio. So join us as we break open decaf.
