In this episode we dip back into the rabbit hole that is "water" in coffee - probably the most important subject to the making and brewing of quality coffee. Got a good subject idea for the mug? Every episode we pull a topic from the mug to talk about. Visit coffeeloversradio.com , leave your comment and get your idea on the show! Hosts Joseph Robertson - Extracted Magazine - https://www.extracted...

On this episode, we talk all about how food can completely change the way your coffee tastes. This goes a bit beyond just the pairing of food and coffee, and sets the stage for a future show where we are going to deep dive into what taste and aroma perception are really all about.

In this episode, Jesse pulls an interesting topic from the mug. Would you drink coffee and smoke a cigar at the same time? We back and forth on the idea of strange coffee pairings, and why enjoyment of a coffee doesn't necessarily always come from the 'true' taste of that coffee. Hosts Joseph Robertson - Extracted Magazine - https://www.extractedmagazine.com Jesse Nelson - Conduit Coffee - https:/...

In a completely connected world, our everyday products are continuing to evolve and become more connected as well. On this show, we talk about coffee products that include high levels of technical connectivity (particularly products which include apps and bluetooth or wifi connection). We ask the question...what's the point? Hosts Joseph Robertson - Extracted Magazine - https://www.extractedmagazi...

In this "From the Hopper" we go back in time to our 18th episode and explore how your coffee brew taste changes depending upon when you grind the coffee. We have the understanding that coffee tastes better the closer to brew time that you grind - but in this episode, we discovered it's not quite as simple as that. Hosts Joseph Robertson - Extracted Magazine - https://www.extractedmagazine.com Jess...

We explore where community and coffee meet, talking about life as a small roaster, and ideas that Conduit has for the future of small and micro roasting coffee in cities.

With recent events shaking up parts of the specialty coffee world, we take a dive into the part of that world which everyday coffee customers never really see. A Barista may just appear to be someone who makes your coffee, but there are years of training - skills in not just making coffee but social understanding and management - which go into making your experience in a cafe great. As mentioned o...

Here's a wild idea. You probably have a favorite mug in which you enjoy your coffee most. What if I told you that it's probably due to the shape of that mug, and that a different shaped mug will make your coffee taste differently? It's a wild idea until you experience it yourself - then it becomes all too real. We re-discovered the truth of this while playing around with Espro's new Coffee Tasting...

In this episode, we brew and enjoy a coffee which is NOT Arabica or Robusta - presenting Coffea Eugenioides. There are many coffee species in the world, however most are not produced commercially. Most of the coffee we consume is Arabica, with the second largest production being Robusta (which is easier to grow, has more caffeine, but does not usually taste great). Get yourself some of this Eugeni...
