  • Really good but…

    I really like the conversation of both of you guys, great topics and approach, but there’s just one thing that is annoying for me AF, is that slurping sound, probably you have a good microphone, that make really uncomfortable for me to hear. I always have to skip the intro because, where most of that sound is present. Don’t take it wrong but just a recommendation, not everyone enjoy that sound. Cheers mates, from Colombia.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

252 | Q&A: water temp vs grind size and pour over repeatability
Q: Why content creators in Specialty Coffee Stores stress grind size and not water temp?
Grind size is a very common way to tweak a recipe and is what most people know; water temp can be more impactful, but many creators stick to grind size because it's a simpler, safer explanation of extraction unless they deeply understand the mechanics.
251 | Coffee Q&A: varietals, dialing in pour over coffee, & starting a roasting company
Q: How should a new roaster approach dialing in a new coffee, especially when volume is limited?
Start with a small dose and a stable base recipe, keep grind size adjustments scoped to one variable at a time, bloom appropriately, and compare to your baseline to maximize extraction with minimal waste.
251 | Coffee Q&A: varietals, dialing in pour over coffee, & starting a roasting company
Q: What is your go-to favorite coffee varietal and why?
Geisha is favored for its pronounced floral notes and distinct balance, while Pink Bourbon is noted for bright acidity and fruit-forward profiles; both are used as anchors in their cupping and sourcing process, with SL28 also highlighted for its unique character, depending on origin.
247 | Are multi-roaster coffee shops the perfect model?
Q: Do you think there's one model that's better than the other?
Yes, the guests agree that multi-roaster cafes often offer reliability and variety with less risk, while roasting-your-own-cafe can provide margins and brand control but comes with significant operational challenges that aren't easy to overcome without extensive experience.
229 | Creating a coffee menu your guests will actually love
Q: Is there a difference between curating a menu for a café in a big city versus a small town?
Yes, understanding the local community and its preferences is crucial when designing your menu.
