This episode is brought to you by The Barista League. Register for High Density today! Tax season is almost upon us, and if you’re like many service workers, you’ve probably been juggling a number of different jobs and gigs. Feel your blood pressure rising already? Take a breath: To help soften this always-stressful time of year, we’re re-airing an episode with Tiani Wright of Coffee and Tax. Listen along, and she’ll help you figure out how to file correctly—and how to stay on top of your money for the rest of the year, too. Most coffee workers—not to mention others in the hospitality and service industries—have probably been told a number of conflicting things about taxes over the years. Declare your cash tips. Don’t declare your cash tips. Your tips cannot be taxed. You owe a tax liability at the end of the year. The varying narratives we’re given about how to manage our income can be confusing at best, and financially harmful at worst. My guest today is Tiani Wright, a tax professional and founder of the group Coffee and Tax, and she wants to help coffee folks get financially literate. As she explains, a lot of that has to do with being open to talking about money in the first place. Tiani encourages people to get to know their pay stubs, to ask questions about their W2s, and to make sure their bosses are deducting the right amount of money from their paychecks. Being financially literate means being in control of your future, and knowing where your money is going. And Tiani has the advice to help you get there.

Building a Staple Business with Shanelle County of Standard Pour [139]

This episode is brought to you by The Barista League. Register for High Density today! “It’s almost five o’clock, and Darlene and I just realized we haven’t even eaten today. It’s been such a wonderful day, such a busy day, but we’ve just been constantly in motion that we didn’t even stop to eat.” The person you just heard was Shanelle County, co-founder of Standard Pour, a new coffee shop in Valley Stream, Long Island. Shanelle reached out to me just a few weeks before the soft opening of her business, and I asked her to capture some snippets from those early days of its existence—the moments of excitement, struggle, and gratitude as they happened in real time. The story of how Shanelle’s business came to be spans just a few weeks in the summer of 2020, starting from the very first time her cousin and business partner Darlene posed the idea to the day Standard Pour opened its doors. Throughout this experience, Shanelle has contended with all types of new feelings, many of which we document in this episode. “It’s been about a week since the grand opening. And I think things finally feel like normal. Yes, it’s like we finally could think about the business and how it runs day-to-day. In our first month so much has happened, and it was like the first hurdle was getting to the soft opening and then from the soft opening to the grand opening and all the things we wanted between the two end points. It’s actually kind of funny to see, to even think about how much we’ve had to take our vision and stick with the vision, but pivot during the process. It’s definitely not easy, but it’s been fun.” I’m always interested in the moments we remember and the ones we forget, and the unreliability of memory. I wanted this episode to be about Shanelle, and also to paint a portrait of a distinct chapter in her life. When I mentioned this idea to Shanelle, she was gracious enough with her time to capture fleeting impressions and experiences—some from her, and some from customers—during the grand opening. The result is both a traditional interview—we recorded this conversation just as Shanelle was closing up shop one day in December 2020, and you might catch the hum of refrigerators behind her—and also features clips from both Shanelle and customers of the shop scattered throughout. I hope you enjoy this one-of-a-kind episode. Think of it as an interview with an incredible new business owner, but also as a meditation on memory. Here’s Shanelle.

Hi, friends. A quick note before we get started: This is a re-release of an episode I did in November 2019, and features David Hu, former owner of The Peccary, a coffee shop in New Jersey. I wanted to re-release this episode for two reasons. One: David is an incredible resource, and I regularly turn to social media for his insights (you can follow him @the.david.hu). Second: I’m preparing a presentation on how to advocate for yourself at work as part of a coffee conference called High Density, hosted by The Barista League, and the topics raised in our conversation have informed much of my recent thinking. My talk focuses on the ways that baristas and other service workers can stand up for themselves, and learn about the laws and protections in place to safeguard their rights. As I’ve researched and prepared for it, I keep coming back to lessons that David shared in his episode, and I think it’s required listening for anyone who has ever held a leadership position. Essentially, he asks folks to step outside of themselves, be humble, and truly do good for the people around them. My talk is just one of the dozens of events, panels, and demonstrations happening at High Density, which is a free and 100% digital coffee conference like none other I’ve ever encountered. The conference takes place on March 9 and features an international program of speakers including Gwilym Davies, Kat Melheim, Freda Yuan, Lem Butler, and Vava Angwenyi. A number of folks who I’ve interviewed for Boss Barista are presenting, and I’m so excited to be part of this worldwide event. You can learn more by going to The Barista League’s website or by following them on Instagram. Before you jump into my conversation with David, know that we’ve changed up a few things at Boss Barista since we recorded this episode, so some things might sound a little different. Rest assured, though, that the content and lessons are more applicable now than ever. Here we go.

One of the best times I’ve ever had in my coffee career was at an event where I played a coffee-version of Family Feud. I was on a team with former guests Alicia Adams and Erica Escalante, and we played this silly game on stage with folks cheering us on and having a good time. Thinking about community events for an industry is an interesting challenge. Balancing the tone between useful and educational and fun and exciting is difficult, and it’s no surprise that the team at the Barista League thinks a lot about putting on a dynamic event that touches on both ends of the spectrum. The Barista League is a series of coffee competitions, usually a handful a year, that travel across the globe and provides enriching, community-driven events that are fun for everyone. If you go to a Barista League party, it can feel wonderfully chaotic and loose, which can hide just how much work goes into an event feeling effortlessly fun. My guest today is Angela Ferrara, one of the folks who puts together Barista League events. Although these are coffee-specific events, the ideas that Angela touches on are universal to any industry looking to create tools for their community. In this episode, Angela talks about how she got involved in the Barista League - she was a competitor herself - and how that transformed into a role putting on some of the most interesting events in coffee. It’s also strangely serendipitous that we recorded during the current global pandemic because the Barista League puts on events - which necessitate people gathering in places. But just last week, The Barista League announced that they would move to a digital competition—Angela has more details on this but it shows the power of their organization—and their ability to adapt and respond to the needs of a community in real-time. Here’s Angela:

Coffee Producer Video Submissions from "Cracking Certifications" at The Barista League: Sideline in Gothenburg, featuring (in order): Alejandro Martinez, Finca Argentina, El Salvador (IG: @alefincaargentina, http://www.fincaargentina.com/) Carlos Ureña, La Pira De Dota, Costa Rica (video recorded by Per Nordby of Kafferostare Per Nordby, https://www.pernordby.com/) Marta Dalton, Finca Filadelfia/Coffee Bird, Guatemala & London (IG: @thecoffeebird, http://www.coffee-bird.com/) Written translation of Carlos Ureña below provided by Roukiat Delrue (IG: @roukiat): My name is Carlos Ureña and we are in Santa Maria de Dota, in Costa Rica; we are located 1,700 MASL. This farm is named La Pira de Dota. La Pira started in 2002, certified organic at the time and stopped the organic production in 2005. We started organic production to do something different and simply because of our own conviction. The soil has a lot of rock and very little organic matter – so we wanted to increase the organic matter and at simultaneously work on an organic coffee. Like I said, something different to be able to start. At the time, micromills / microlots did not exist. Why did we stop with the organic; well, first of all, in cold places, I do not recommend working organic coffee ; because in general terms, plants tend to be slower, much milder than others and hence there is less ‘return’ to the soil, less return of organic matter. That on one side; additionally, at this altitude, we not only produce organic but also quality – and we got paid like any other organic in the country and they were never really willing to recognize quality. Then in 2006, some people appeared interested in buying microlots, Japanse buyers; they were buying based on quality. Basically, I took that as my opportunity to overcome the ‘tragedy of the organic’ to transition to sell quality instead. That was the situation. I do try to remain nature –friendly, I don’t use chemical pest control, I try to use bio-fertilizers to work, so basically in a way it’s still organic - but not certified. I kept the concept, I kept the lessons, and as I mentioned my own conviction to work in a nature-friendly way. (What do you expect for the future) I expect to still improve the soil; I also expect to change some varieties and change them into some that truly adjust to this weather that is so dry and still filled with rocks. I hope to keep working and that in the future my family also keeps working on this so that we can continue this marriage with the coffee buyers – and coffee drinkers! (and what do you think of certifications) It depends on which certification! (organic). Certifications tend to be very very demanding, also in economic terms they are very expensive and for us if it’s in the case of organic it’s more expensive, you need more labor, and to pay so much to others I really don’t believe in certifications or not in these. Thank you! www.allycoffee.com

Joined later by Sara Morrocchi (Vuna Origin Consulting), Angel Mario Martinez-Garcia (Progreso Producer Development) and Joanna Alm (Drop Coffee), we examined certifications and trading models in the context of specialty coffee and its love affair with “direct trade” – is there only one way to be accountable, transparent, and sustainable, as our current conversations might have us believe? Or are there many paths to the same summit? www.allycoffee.com

How is it April already?! We’ve kicked off this week with another update from the field with Ale Martinez from Finca Argentina - where they’re making bokashi whilst the sun shines in preparation for the approaching rainy season - before diving right into an interview with this week’s guest: 2017 Swedish Barista Champ and The Barista League’s own mastermind, Steve Moloney. A former event organiser and production manager in Australia, Steve has come full circle after moving to Sweden and getting into coffee – together with Jenn, they discuss the current state of competition, the birth of The Barista League, event-organiser pet-peeves, and the value of independent events.

No. 74 is here and, guess what! Steve isn’t just talking to himself this week—Jenn’s managed to wrangle her way back onto the podcast only to accidentally lead the conversation down an unanticipated path. Obviously certification is a hot topic right now – we’ve announced an event with The Barista League in Gothenburg this March on that very subject – but this definitely wasn’t meant to turn into the newly written “Trusted Trade” manifesto, a dissection of coffee buying narratives, or a laundry list of transparency report frustrations. Ooops? Find tickets & more information for The Barista League: Sideline in Gothenburg, "Cracking Certifications", here.
