Dear Listeners,

How can this be the last episode of Series 4? We cannot believe the diversity and range of Series 4 and we owe so much of it to your fantastic input. Not to mention the lovely James, Jack, and Mijon! Thank you listeners and thanks guys!

We are so grateful that we decided to celebrate the season and gift you with a deep dive into making the most delicious coffee cocktail that you’ve ever had! Recipes included! How is this possible?

We reached out to two coffee cocktail mixologists:

Dave Jameson, 2-time UK Coffee in Good Spirits Champion, a Q-Arabica grader and coach of the 2017 World Coffee in Good Spirits Champion.

Alexandra Hager Beverage R&D Specialist for US locations of the Korean Bakery Franchise Tous Les Jours and 2022 US Coffee in Good Spirits Champion and the first US competitor at the World Championships.

On this episode, we pick their brains to learn about why they love coffee cocktails, how they create a balanced coffee cocktail, and how they create the perfect coffee cocktail based on a person’s particular tastes.

Then, Scott and Jools create custom coffee cocktails for each other! Get ready for a coffee adventure that will tickle your taste buds on Jools and Scott’s Coffee Cocktail Celebration!

When you picture a coffee farmer, who do you have in mind? For many people, it will be Juan Valdez, the symbol of Colombia’s National Federation of Coffee Growers, with his thick moustache, sack of beans and trusty donkey.

But women play a crucial role on coffee farms which often gets overlooked. This week, Jools is diving into the responsibilities they take on, some of the struggles they face and how we can hope to overcome them.

She will speak to three women about their stories and experiences: Ana María Donneys and Paula De Rosenzweig, two women growing coffee themselves, as well as Blanca Castro at the International Women’s Coffee Alliance.

Why is there a lack of representation at higher levels in the industry? How are traditional gender expectations holding women back? How might things change in the future?

These are some of the questions we’ll be asking. So join Jools and James as they strap in and prepare to break the glass ceiling. Or perhaps the glass coffee cup…

In Ethiopia, the birthplace of Arabica coffee, Ethiopians spend hours roasting and brewing coffee in their living rooms.

But, have you ever heard of the Ethiopian coffee ceremony? If not, you are not alone.

Get ready, dear listeners, because James is going to take you, Scott, and Jools out of your regular coffee routine to see how coffee can be drunk quite differently.

First, we travel to Italy as James roasts coffee beans with his family’s long-time friend and family helper, a lovely Ethiopian woman named Elisa.

Then, Jools and Scott get treated to a coffee trader at the Ethiopian Embassy with the ambassador and Jame’s friend Ethiopian coffee exporter Michael Haile.

And, we also hear from an Ethiopian expat, Mekdes, who grew up with the ceremony at home and still practices it herself.

Get ready, because your morning coffee might just get a little more savory!

Our morning cup of coffee creates a lot of waste, ever wondered what to do with it all? If so, then this episode is for you. Join Scott as he examines three areas of coffee waste and talks to some very clever people about how to reduce our impact on the environment.

The Grounds - Soil scientist Linda J Brewer speaks with Scott about whether it’s a good idea or not to use our spent grounds in the garden.

The Packaging - Scott rummages through his compost bin, and speaks to Ollie Sears of North Star Coffee about an innovative new form of biodegradable packaging.

The Equipment - Scott Butler from Recycle Your Electricals tells (our) Scott how to dispose of all the broken grinders and coffee equipment he’s accumulated over the years.

So join Scott as he immerses himself in the world of coffee waste… and even buys an old Moccamaster filter coffee brewer online to reduce his carbon footprint. We all love our morning cup, so why not make sure you’re enjoying it in the most sustainable way

The exquisite latte art. The warm, smiling baristas. The deep, inviting armchairs… If you’ve ever taken a look around your favourite cafe and thought ‘What a wonderful place to spend a day, maybe I should open somewhere like this’, you’re not alone. But is this fantasyland?

With guest co-host Chris Deferio (Keys to the Shop Podcast), we dive into the three key aspects of running a coffee shop, to help you better understand the realities behind the dream.

The Money - Chris speaks to Michael Idov, author of the legendary Slate article ‘My Coffeehouse Nightmare’, about the financial areas which are often overlooked by those opening a cafe.

The Scene - Scott heads to Caffè Culture and chats with Ben Eames of Bubbly Batch Coffee about Ben’s plans to bring something fresh to the coffee scene.

The Dream - James catches up with his friend Hiyam Abdulla about her experience leaving her corporate job to follow her dream and open a cafe in North London.

Chris brings many years of advising and consulting coffee shop owners, and offers fascinating insights into each of the three aspects. Will you be inspired to open a trendy cafe or your local high street. Or end up running for the hills?
