    The 2024 Coffee Buildcast Volume Four

    Board game cafes, UK import cafes, colorful cafes, and specialty coffee institution cafes are opening new locations. We cover the gamut during the Build-Outs of Coffee season here at Sprudge. Today, on the Coffee Sprudgecast, our flagship coffee podcast, we wrap up the season with our fourth Coffee Buildcast. Builds make us thirsty, so we’re delighted to drink coffee from our friends and partners at Partners Coffee in Brooklyn, New York! Using the Cerapotta, a new ceramic coffee brewer/filter, hosts Zachary Carlsen and Jordan Michelman drink a limited offering from Partners—the Mexico Hermanos Luna. The experience is made all the better thanks to exquisite mugs courtesy of Sightglass Coffee Roasters—the HMM W Glass Mug—with amber recycled glass and twelve sides—”it is shaped into twelve angles inspired by the hours on a clock to symbolize the cycle of life.” Love that!

    We're Building Out On The Third Episode Of The Coffee Buildcast

    Is it "nat" summer? Co-host of the Coffee Sprudgecast (and Sprudge co-founder) Jordan Michelman certainly thinks so. On Volume 3 of the 2024 Coffee Buildcast—our celebratory summer podcast spectacular celebrating the spectacular Build-Outs Of Coffee season—we feature four incredible builds from Denton, Texas to Bassano Del Grappa, Italy. But before diving into the thrill of the build, the hosts dip into some terrific new coffee—naturally processed coffee—from our friends at The Barn in Berlin: Burundi Bumba Hill Lot 2: This superb coffee was naturally processed, with a slow drying stage that brings out a rich, fruity profile: expect dark chocolate, smooth stone fruit, and a dash of citrus. Rwanda Huye Mountain Natural: We have been buying coffee from Huye Mountain for over ten years now. Both the quality and cup profile have been very consistent over this whole period. Our natural processed lot has intense flavours of cherry, chocolate, and marzipan.

    The Coffee Sprudgecast With Neon V60SPs

    The Coffee Sprudgecast is back with a fresh, new episode featuring beautiful coffees and teas and an especially beautiful brewer! The episode starts with a lovely steep of DONA Wah White Peony Tea and segues into a beautiful brew of Sakura Blend with custom neon blue Hario v60SP from our friends at Post Coffee out of Japan. The fun doesn’t end there as hosts Jordan Michelman and Zachary Carlsen drink a special brew from Vietnam with the warm, woody, sweet, smoky essence of agarwood from Nen Coffee.  “The luxurious fragrance of Agarwood (Oud) has been a precious treasure across many cultures for thousands of years, playing a vital role in traditional medicines, sacred rituals, and as a key ingredient in high-end perfumes,” explains Nen Coffee. The aroma was a delight, and the oud didn’t overpower in the brew. The hosts round out an epic episode of tastings with the Hot Cold Blend from Ninth Street Espresso in New York City. The blend brings host Zachary Carlsen right back to the mid-aughts, with reflections on working busy shifts at Ninth Street nearly twenty years ago. Take a look at our Special Projects Desk feature on Indonesian coffee with Mikael Jasin here. This episode of the Coffee Sprudgecast is sponsored by Pacific Barista Series, Ghirardelli, and DONA.

  8. Brewing The Best Decaf In America On The Coffee Sprudgecast

    Brewing The Best Decaf In America On The Coffee Sprudgecast

    On the latest episode of the Coffee Sprudgecast, Zachary Carlsen brews BlendIn Coffee Club’s Colombia Los Nogales, the winning 2024 US Brewers Cup Championship coffee (which also happens to be their house decaf coffee!) Weihong Zhang of BlendIn Coffee Club in Houston, Texas, your 2024 United States Brewers Cup champion, took top honors in Rancho Cucamonga using a decaf Typica variety from Colombia, with a coffee he serves on bar every day. Pick up a bag of it online or in their cafe year-round. This is exactly what host Jordan Michelman did the evening Zhang was announced the 2024 champion! The decaf underwent a decaffeination process developed by Oscar Hernandez of Finca Los Nogales in Huila, Colombia. After de-pulping, the green coffee is then decaffeinated using, in part, its mucilage, which helps “[avoid] off flavors and [enhance] complexity with floral and fruity notes,” Zhang told Sprudge in an interview with Zac Cadwalader. Sprudge’s coverage of the 2024 US Barista Championship in Rancho Cucamonga is presented in partnership with Third Wave Water.  Zachary Carlsen replicates the brew process deployed on the Brewers Cup stage as accurately as possible (with a slightly different hand grinder and variety of Hario V60—listen in to find out more). The process is especially interesting due to its use of two water temperatures and a touch of water bypass at the end.
