Coffee Quality, Part 3: When the “quality” myth hits the farm

For twenty years, the 2004 cupping form profoundly shaped the specialty coffee world. But on the hillsides of coffee farms, some of the form’s byproducts have been disadvantaging producers. In this episode, we follow two producers whose lives collided with the myth of universal quality. These stories reveal how a single idea of “quality” can close doors for the people with the least power in the supply chain. The new coffee evaluation form, the CVA, is still young, and with any luck it will keep evolving. I hope for a form that can empower even the smallest producers.

Opening a Coffee Shop: Fantasy vs Reality

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.

The Oat Debate: Scott’s Milk Quest

Have you ever noticed that there always seems to be a new plant-based milk? For about 20 years, Scott’s wife Rachel has always been able to enjoy soy milk with her coffee while other plant-based milks have fallen in and out of favor. However, lately, soy milk seems to be disappearing and is being replaced by the “new kid in town”: oat. And, when Rachel asks questions in coffee shops about the move away from soy, she frequently gets told that she should not be drinking soy milk because its bad for the environment. But, is that actually true? If coffee shops do not carry soy to be more sustainable, then why are they still carrying dairy? To dive deeper into this, Scott attended the Caffè Culture Expo to get a better understanding about how cafe owners are choosing their milks and how they feel about sustainability. Then, Scott and Jools deep dive into current research through a website called Our World in Data and talk to environmental sustainability scientist and consultant Dr. Isaac Emery to get an expert opinion. Is soy milk actually bad for the environment? Which milk is the most environmentally sustainable? Is this all just a successful oat milk marketing scheme?

Single Origin - Coffee's fairytale debunked

You’ve definitely bought “single origin” coffee before, and probably spent extra for it too. But what if you’ve been wasting your money this whole time? We’re going to take you on a fun and bewildering journey back in time and through philosophical loop-the-loops to understand where on earth our obsession with the term “single origin” comes from. This episode has more layers than a tiramisu! We start off unwrapping the story of coffee blends, but, the deeper we go, we realise that it’s actually a story about language and the very specific yet highly questionable principles that hold a community together.

Are Wine Making Techniques the Future of Coffee?

Next time you set about making your morning coffee, take a moment to peruse the info on your bag of beans. What do you notice? The variety of beans? Flavour notes? Technical details on where the coffee was grown? They're not so different from the sort of blurb you might find on the back of a wine bottle in many ways. And that’s intentional. Specialty coffee has taken a lot from the world of wine. But could the increasing overlaps be a problem for coffee farmers — or even dangerous? In this episode, Scott and Jools join forces with coffee processing specialist and former winemaker Lucia Solis from the Making Coffee podcast to dive deeper into where our coffee comes from and what (if anything) wine's got to do with it. Lucia talks to coffee producer Karla Boza from the Finca San Antonio Amatepec coffee farm in El Salvador and vintner Todd Kohn from the Wayfarer Vineyard in California to shed some light on the techniques behind picking, transporting and processing their precious produce. Take a sip on this (soon-to-be-a-good) vintage episode to pique your curiosity about how coffee and wine are made, and why it matters. — Join our Patreon to support the show! https://bit.ly/3vrispx Learn more about coffee and wine growing with Lucia Solis on her Making Coffee podcast: https://bit.ly/3z7dJ0j Follow Karla Boza’s farm (https://bit.ly/3M0msUO) and Todd’s winery (https://bit.ly/3PPBRKI) on Instagram Find your perfect roast with the Ikawa Home: https://bit.ly/3IdYVPc Visiting Edinburgh?

Scott's Home Roasting Adventure

Can a secondhand popcorn popper really be used to roast delicious coffee…? The answer to that question may (or more likely, may not) surprise you! Scott falls back in love with an old hobby as he embarks on a mission to separate the bean from the chaff with the IKAWA Home Roasting System. On a personal journey of coffee-roasting discovery, Scott learns to find the sweet spot between first and second crack, and reveals just how much difference the way your beans are roasted makes to the flavour in your cup. Respected roasting instructor Ildi Revi explains all about the significance of different “development” times and the Maillard reaction. Scott also decides to pit his roasting skills against the experts with none other than 2018 World Barista Champion Agnieszka Rojewska as the judge! Can the self-proclaimed King of Caffeine out-roast a machine?

Spotting Greenwashing In Coffee

Ever noticed how your “carbon neutral” coffee tickles the taste buds just that little bit more than your bog standard brew? From coffee producers to cafes, the industry is falling over itself to show us how much it cares about the future of our planet. But all is not always quite as it seems… So in this episode we’re delving into the murky world of “greenwashing.” What is it? What’s being done about it? And with so much else going on in the world, is it really that big of a deal? To help guide us through all the greenwashing grey areas, Jools and Scott are joined by environmental journalist David Burrows who goes in search of elephants and tigers in the cafes of Edinburgh. Miles Lockwood from the Advertising Standards Authority reveals how some alternative milk companies have been found to be greenwashing. And we learn when to be smug and when to be skeptical in the face of an environmental bombardment. Armed with these tips, we hope you will be able to spot greenwashing next time you buy your coffee! —-- Join our Patreon to support the show and win a free premium hand grinder! https://bit.ly/3vrispx Check out David’s writing on Foodservice Footprint (https://bit.ly/3qqBnQK) and follow him on LinkedIn (https://bit.ly/3u8yq8V) Follow Elliot Day (https://bit.ly/3NRMmvS) and Bean & Bud (https://bit.ly/3LCl7DC) on Instagram.

Coffee’s Cutting Edge: Innovations at Origin

Once upon a time, the simple pleasures of a homemade cup of coffee would have been limited to those in Ethiopia's cool, wet mountain forest regions. Today, a multi-billion dollar global industry means we can sip on an espresso virtually anywhere in the world. But what about coffee's future? Scott, Jools and James embark on a mission into the unknown to each reveal an element of the magical and evolving world of coffee growing. The team (or most of them…) savour a specially brewed coffee alongside each story, all prepared on the Siemens EQ700 fully automatic espresso machine. Scott talks genetics with World Coffee Research's Hanna Neuschwander as he takes us to the frontline of the battle to save coffee from climate change. James enlists the help of coffee processing specialist and fellow podcaster Lucia Solis to decipher what the latest bamboozling terms on our coffee bags actually mean. And Jools is joined by Jessy Luo as she whisks us away to one of the world's newest coffee-growing regions in a rather unexpected corner of the globe.

Am I damaging the planet with my coffee habit?

Okay, so you forgot to take your reusable cup to the cafe. But, how bad is that, really? What if the reusable cup trend is actually a waste of everyone's time and energy? Jools and Scott answer the question: what's the easiest way to massively reduce the environmental costs of your coffee? We speak with Tim Ridley of United Baristas to understand what should we actually be measuring in the first place? Marine pollution? Land waste? Carbon footprint? We also hop on the line with Toby Weedon of Oatly to get the lowdown on cows' milk and just why exactly it generates so much CO2. And no, it's not the farts!
