Coffee Lovers Radio - Make and Drink Better Coffee

Tim Wendelboe comes to the La Marzocco Cafe at KEXP in Seattle, for the month prior to SCA Global Coffee Expo April 20-23. We sit down and enjoy the Finca Tamana on Chemex, musing a bit about different culture's approaches to specialty coffee. We also brew the coffee on the Kalita Wave and give a little bit of a Kalita v Chemex viewpoint. Hosts: Joseph Robertson - Coffee Lovers Magazine - http://w...

Jesse and Joseph sit down to welcome a coffee roaster visiting from western Texas. What is the coffee culture like where they are roasting? What is coffee like around Texas in general? We also get on a few tangents about the nature of working in the coffee business as well as entrepreneurialism.

After a brief rant foray we jumped into this episode on different ways of describing and preparing espresso. What is the standard for espresso? What is doppio? What is ristretto? What are all the cafes actually doing? It's a strange world of juggling the language people are somewhat familiar with and the actual thing you get when you order coffee. We go in on this a little bit and ask for your tho...

In this show, Jesse and I tackle the question 'is a single origin coffee better than a blend?' With the surge in 'single origin' popularity, there's this impression with many that blends are inferior. We want to help you understand that there's a place in your mug for both, and both can bring fantastic experiences. Oh, this show is also the debut of Coffee Lovers Radio Opera.... maybe? Hosts: Jose...

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. Hosts: Joseph Robertson - Coffee Lovers Magazine - http://www.coffeeloversmag.com...

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 t...

Iced coffee - particularly cold brew - has been all the craze this summer. I know that there are a great many virtues to various forms of coffee brewed cold or over ice which can be wonderful year round. Join us as we ponder the surge in popularity of cold brew as well as how you can take advantage of cold brew and iced coffee over the holidays. Guest: Neil Oney - Royal Drummer - http://www.royald...

In this show, Jesse, Neil and I each dive into our own personal favorite brewing method. We thought it would be a fun topic for getting back into the swing of things.

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! Find more Yemen from Blue Bot...

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. Hosts: Joseph Robertson - Coffee Lovers Ma...

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.
