    Ten Things 2025

    Every year Mark and Brian conjure up a "ten things" list, and this year it's memories of 2025. Brian's cohost for the episode is KC, an Oklahoma girl who is a fan of DoubleShot and just so happened to be in the studio when it was crunch time. The pair taste and talk about Priscilla Gonzalez's Bambito Estate Yellow Catuai Anaerobic Natural, banter about Mango coffee and Mango the street artist, and celebrate the first harvest of Dos Manzanas. The episode ends with Brian's ten things, and then Mark's - from afar.

    Juan Ramón Diaz in Tulsa

    In this extended episode, Juan Ramón Diaz comes to Tulsa to visit DoubleShot. Mark and Brian begin by chatting about a chocolate tasting with David De Olier from Salento, Quindio, Colombia. Then Juan breaks in to serve his own coffee in the AA Cafe studio. Producer Juan Ramón and Roaster Brian held an event to talk about all things coffee. The audio isn't perfect, but you'll feel like you're right there in the room listening. It's a long one, but probably worth a listen if you're interested in what it's like to be a coffee farmer or how your roastmaster works with producers to get the great coffees served at DoubleShot.  Buy Juan Ramón's Pacamara natural. And check out our selection of chocolate bars from David De Olier.

    Coffee Prices

    Brian just returned from a trip to Colombia, visiting Cofinet in the Quindio region. While there, he had lunch with Luz Helena Salazar, owner of Maracay - producer of several coffees in the DoubleShot lineup over the past couple years. Felipe Arcila, co-owner of Cofinet sat down for an interview on the farm. While there, some turmoil came to a head (Brian's head, specifically) about coffee prices and what other roasters are doing to keep costs down. Costs at DoubleShot are not going down. We cut out a fairly aggressive rant that spontaneously erupted during recording, and Mark and Brian went back for a stab at more civil discussions about what set Brian off in the first session. Listen at your own risk. Order that Maracay Honey at DoubleShotCoffee.com

    Purist.Coffee

    Mark is OOO and Amanda has stepped in for her podcast debut. In an abbreviated episode, get caught up on the status of The Coffee Purist, a teaser on something definitely NOT puristic from the coffee purist himself, and an opportunity to listen to a chapter of the book with a certain AA Cafe-inspired slant. Most everything besides the coffee is available at the website purist.coffee.

    SCA 2025

    The annual convention for the Specialty Coffee Association was held in Houston April 25-27. Amanda, Mark and Brian all went down to represent DoubleShot, try and pre-sell some of The Coffee Purist books (slated to be on your coffee table by fall 2025), catch up with old friends, and get a pulse on what's happening today in "specialty coffee." This episode is all about that experience. Of note: a first introduction to Wondafrash Edema, a run with Firaol Ahmed, an insightful conversation with George Howell, and a lot of whispering about the T-word.

    Nicaragua 2025

    Brian has just returned from another trip to Nicargaua, where he had a few revelations concerning cupping, relationships, and the world economy. Mark comes along for the ride and the diatribe. Throughout the episode, you might learn about the effects of tariffs on coffee prices and business sustainability, the importance of judging coffees circumstantially rather than absolutely, and the prevalence of coffee roasters lying about their relationships with producers. It's hot and heavy. And hopefully thought-provoking.
