Der Blog zum KaffeeKOMPASS-Podcast – Folge 81: Heute wird die Runde spannend ergänzt: Michaels Sohn Theo ist zu Gast und berichtet von seinem Praktikum in Toms Rösterei. Zwei große ‚E‘ kennzeichnen Barista & Hommel-Kaffeesysteme-Geschäftsführer Michael Murschel und seinen Gesprächspartner Thomas „Tom“ Schulz, den Inhaber und Röstmeister der W&S Kaffee-Manufaktur: Expertise und Enthusiasmus. Beides sprüht dem Hörer der KaffeeKOMPASS Podcast-Reihe ab der ersten Sekunde entgegen, wenn zwei ausgewiesene Fachleute rund um das schwarze Gold fachsimpeln. Folge 81 kommt echtes Manufakturfeeling auf: Michaels Sohn Theo ist die achte Hommel-Generation und taucht mit einem einjährigen Praktikum in Toms Rösterei tief in die Materie ein. Wie es ihm ergeht und was W&S so besonders macht, könnt ihr in dieser Folge hören. Milestones Folge 81 A) Begrüßung & Einstieg B) Vorstellung und Vergleich der Unternehmen C) Arbeitsweise und Tagesablauf in der Rösterei D) Manueller Röstprozess und Qualitätskontrolle E) Interne Logistik, Sauberkeit und körperliche Anforderungen F) Theos Praktikum und Entwicklung G) Unternehmensphilosophie und Marktausrichtung Zusammenfassung Wo ein Fachgeschäft für Kaffeesysteme für Gewerbe- und Privatkunden durch unvorhersehbare Tagesabläufe stets in einer Art Impr-Modus ist, ist der Arbeitsalltag in einer Rösterei streng getaktet, was Tom gerne als „Hochleistungssport“ bezeichnet: Früher Beginn, klar definierte Abläufe und hohe Anforderungen an die menschliche Wahrnehmung und Konzentration sind herausfordernd. Schließlich wird hier im Manufakturverfahren und somit rein manuell geröstet. Michaels Sohn Theo vertritt die achte Generation des Familienunternehmens und möchte neben Hommel Kaffeesysteme auch genau diese Welt in- und auswendig kennenlernen. Also durchläuft er im einjährigen Praktikum alle relevanten Stellen in Toms Firma und wird auch in die Prozessoptimierung eingebunden. Wie es für ihn läuft und mit welcher Unternehmensphilosophie W&S sich seine Marktposition erarbeitet hat, hört ihr in dieser Folge. Viel Spaß!

Today, we're bringing you two standout conversations recorded live on the 5THWAVE stage at The Amsterdam Coffee Festival 2026.First up, we're joined by Menno Simons, Founder of Bocca Coffee and a pioneer of the Dutch specialty coffee scene. In this thought-provoking conversation, Menno reflects on 25 years of Bocca, the evolution and longevity of specialty coffee, and why even the most established brands must continue to adapt and innovate.We then speak with Paul Sharo, Founder of Man Met Bril Koffie – the Rotterdam-based coffee hotel and roastery. In this conversation we discuss how career pathways in coffee are always evolving, and why the industry can be a platform for entrepreneurship as much as employment.Credits music: "Here's To" by Pien in association with The Coffee Music Project and SEB Collective.

On this episode of Random Encounter, we're digging for some sweet, sweet caffeine!First up, Bob is here to chat about Yacht Club Games' newest title, Mina the Hollower. Yacht Club struck gold a decade ago with their retro side-scroller Shovel Knight and its various campaigns, but since then, they've apparently been on the bubble financially. Well, that doesn't seem to be a problem anymore because Mina the Hollower appears to be a hit! This top-down, Link's Awakening-esque and Castlevania-esque soulslike currently has everyone talking, and Bob and Jono certainly can't stop chatting about it! Spoiler alert: it's absolutely fantastic!Next, Audra and Mike are here for a steaming cup of Coffee Talk Tokyo. As the third entry in this lo-fi, relaxing visual novel series, the game moves its setting from rainy Seattle to neon Tokyo. Does the charm of Coffee Talk successfully make the jump across the Pacific?Oh, and we also chat about our hopes for next week's Not-E3 (and be sure to stay tuned for our 2026 Not-E3 Extravaganza episode)! Featuring: Jono Logan, Audra Bowling, Mike Salbato, and Jerry Williams; Edited by Jono LoganGet in Touch:RPGFan.comRPGFan ShopEmail us: podcast@rpgfan.comTwitter: @rpgfancomBluesky: @rpgfan.bsky.socialInstagram: @rpgfancomThreads: @rpgfancomFacebook: rpgfancomTwitch: rpgfancomThis Episode's Related Links:Mina the HollowerCoffee Talk TokyoCoffee Talk ReviewCoffee Talk 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly ReviewDragon Quest XII: Beyond Dreams

Last week, The Daily reported on an Evanston resident held in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, allegations of discriminatory behavior in Northwestern's Graduate Program in Genetic Counseling and Mayor Daniel Biss' support of unionized Starbucks workers.

At this point, making coffee at home has turned into more than a caffeine hit. Home baristas have high end equipment, physics books on extraction, and the time and patience to perfect their morning cups. That is not the same as brewing coffee behind bar and there's a huge difference between the two. In this episode, we talk about why home baristas are pushing the coffee industry forward and why being a barista requires more skills than just making coffee.Pick up our coffee here: https://mirrorcoffeeroasters.com/Find us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mirrorcoffeeroasters/Mirror Coffee Roasters is a specialty coffee roaster located in Bellingham, WA

The barista course became unexpected collateral damage in the debate over NCEA, almost a synonym for easily acquired credits. But at Lynfield College in Auckland's Mt Roskill, Year 13 students Jayden, Ben, Cheyanne and Tristen say barista skills are a practical way to get hospo work while they make their way through apprenticeships or university.

Every Coffee Fest we sit down with presenters and speakers to talk about their field of expertise and learn from their experience in coffee. This last NYC Coffee Fest we were privileged to get to chat with four dynamic professionals and discuss everything from barista education and community, social media strategy, and how to run a world class bakery and coffee bar. We start with Ivana Chan and Rachel Apple of Raise the Bar! Ivana Chan is a marketing and e-commerce consultant who has spent the last seven years helping specialty coffee brands grow by bringing their hospitality online through thoughtful digital strategy. She is also the co-founder of Raise the Bar Coffee, a nonprofit focused on accessible coffee education, mentorship, and community-building, best known for organizing Level Up, an event where baristas connect, learn, and build sustainable careers in coffee Rachel Apple is an esteemed figure in the specialty coffee industry, with over 19 years of comprehensive experience.  Her extensive resume includes pivotal roles as Quality Control for George Howell Coffee, Coffee Buyer & Global Supply Chain Manager, Roaster, Educator, & Barista in addition to being a Legacy Q Grader. She is also the only woman, globally, who is a Cup of Excellence Head Judge & SET Course Instructor. Rachel also serves as a US Barista Championship Head Judge, Sensory Lead, and Committee Member, investing years in volunteer work and leadership in the specialty coffee community – which has recently manifested in co-founding an education focused 501(c)(3) nonprofit Raise the Bar.  Links: https://www.instagram.com/raisethebar_coffee/   Next we get to learn about winning social media strategy from Birch Coffee's Jeremy Lyman!  Jeremy Lyman is the co-founder of Birch Coffee, a New York City-based coffee company. Since its first store opened in 2009, the company has grown to become one of New York City's premiere and most loved independent coffee shop chains. With more than a dozen locations throughout the city, the focus of Birch is on customer service. Service is something Jeremy believed was lacking in the Specialty Coffee industry and being that both he and his partner Paul are consumers first and worked in bars and restaurants for years before, they realized that this was what was necessary to stand out in the industry. In order to grow the company, Jeremy has overseen the development of not only a high level of service, but methods in which to hone and develop those skills amongst his teams. Jeremy, Paul, and their team have also figured out creative ways to stand out. From eliminating wifi and introducing conversation starters to designing extraordinarily unique napkins, they have caught the eye of the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times and Forbes who have paid specific attention to these differentiators. Links: https://www.instagram.com/coffeedogguy/ www.birchcoffee.com https://www.instagram.com/birchcoffee/ Finally we discuss baking, pastry, and coffee excellence with Lauren Tran! Lauren Tran is the chef-owner of Bánh by Lauren in Chinatown, New York City. She blends her Seattle upbringing and love for coffee culture with a deep-rooted passion for Vietnamese flavors and desserts. After working at fine-dining icons Canlis, Momofuku Ko, and Gramercy Tavern, Lauren started selling pastries out of her apartment during the pandemic. Bánh by Lauren was hosted for pop-ups for four years before opening a brick and mortar bakery cafe in NYC's Manhattan Chinatown in June 2024. The New York Times ranked her shop among the top 22 bakeries in the U.S., T Magazine named her bánh bò nướng as one of the 25 essential pastries to eat in NYC, and Bánh by Lauren is a 2026 James Beard Award semifinalist for Outstanding Bakery.

Alex Temiz turned a $2,000 account into over $16 million in trading profits, starting from nothing as a part-time Starbucks barista. In this episode, he breaks down the real journey: the years of losing, how he transitioned from long breakouts to short selling, and the mechanical "guardrails" he used to survive long enough to succeed. After selling the rims off his car just to fund one last attempt at the markets, Alex discovered his edge in the volatility of momentum exhaustion. Today, his approach is built on extreme transparency and a deep respect for risk management, specifically through his "First Red Day" framework. In this conversation, Alex pulls back the curtain on his evolution from an aggressive gunslinger to a disciplined professional, sharing the psychological shifts and specific setups that allowed him to scale from four figures to eight figures. In this episode, we explore:·        How Alex Turned $2,000 into $16M+ in Trading Profits·        His transition from working as a Starbucks barista to full-time trading·        The mechanics of the First Red Day strategy·        Why he ignores his "average" to focus on adding to winning trades·        Using broker-level guardrails to protect yourself from ego-driven losses·        How Alex selects the stocks he shorts ·        His advice for traders struggling with the psychological pain of risk About Alex Temiz:Alex is a professional short-seller and the co-founder of My Investing Club (MIC). Known for his "First Red Day" setup and high-stakes momentum trading, Alex has documented over $16 million in verified profits. He is a vocal advocate for transparency in the trading industry, frequently sharing live trading recaps to help retail traders develop a process-driven approach to the markets.

What happens when a country produces more graduates than it has elite jobs to give them? According to Peter Turchin, the Russian-American thinker behind End Times, that's exactly the moment civilisations start to crack. This week, we get into his theory of "elite overproduction" and ask whether Ireland is staring straight into it. We unpack the stats: most educated population in the EU, master's degrees doubling in 15 years, and nearly one in three graduates working in jobs that don't need a degree. We talk about why the barista with a first-class honours and the barman with an economics master's are not just funny anecdotes, they're leading indicators of political instability. We look at how the public sector is quietly absorbing the overflow that the private sector can't, why AI is about to pour petrol on the fire, and why historically it's not the abject poor who revolt, it's the relatively rich and bitterly disappointed.

Barry Mare speaks to Jori Kabelo, a barista whose journey is redefining what it means to truly master the craft. For Kabelo, this is no longer about technique or competition — it’s about connection. From understanding the hands that grow the beans, to honouring the stories behind every cup, this experience is set to transform not just how he serves coffee — but how he sees it. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather. The host’s eclectic interests mean the program often surprises the audience with intriguing book reviews and inspiring interviews profiling artists.

Cat & Cloud Podcast Cat & Cloud Coffee www.catandcloud.com/ Coffee and a Danish Barista Champion, Christopher Hoff - Ep #446 Summary: In this episode, Jared and Casey sit down with Danish Barista Champion Christopher Hoff, a top-six finisher at the World Barista Championships, to talk about competition, coffee, and the deeper story behind both. Christopher shares how his world routine centered on the coffee variety Wush Wush, a tropical and complex coffee that became a metaphor for his own journey of trying to become something he wasn't before learning to compete from a more grounded, authentic place. The conversation moves from signature drinks and competition strategy into bigger reflections on storytelling, hospitality, personal growth, and how coffee professionals can invite people into new experiences instead of gatekeeping them. It's a thoughtful, wide-ranging episode about craft, identity, and what it means to share something meaningful through coffee. Cat & Cloud celebrates this relationship to the world community of coffee and our desire to connect with friends from around the globe.

Story of the Week (DR):Elon Musk's SpaceX set to go public in $1 trillion share listingElon Musk's rocket and satellite company SpaceX has confidentially filed for an initial public offering with the Securities and Exchange CommissionThe firm could seek a valuation of $1.75 trillion with a public listing around June.A confidential filing means that SpaceX will submit its financials to the SEC before revealing them to the public, which must occur at least 15 days before the IPO roadshow.Musk owns 42% of the SpaceX now, according to Pitchbook, though that figure will change with the IPO when new owners are issued shares.Among current SpaceX owners is Donald Trump Jr, the president's oldest son. He owns a shares through 1789 Capital. That venture capital firm made him a partner shortly after his father won the presidency for a second time and has been buying up federal contractors seeking to win taxpayer money ever since.The White House and Trump himself have repeatedly denied there are any conflicts of interest between his role as president and his family's businesses.Public investors may get low-vote shares, while insiders could hold super-voting stock with roughly 10 to 20 votes per share, if the reported structure is adopted.Reports suggest SpaceX has been adding board members as it prepares for the IPO process.The company's board has historically included Elon Musk, Gwynne Shotwell, Antonio Gracias, Luke Nosek, Steve Jurvetson, and Donald Harrison in reporting about its governance.Gwynne Shotwell is widely reported as president and COO, and Bret Johnsen as CFOBig Banks Seeking a Piece of SpaceX's I.P.O.

Tech companies are cutting almost 1,000 jobs/day DROracle Corp.'s mass layoffs on Tuesday were part of the company's cost-cutting measures as it continues to build out expensive data centers for powering artificial intelligence.But one aspect of the mass layoffs — which were estimated to be as many as 30,000 people — was alerting workers over email at 6 a.m. Eastern that Tuesday would be their last day.The terse message, sent to workers in multiple regions and time zones, carried no executive name and was instead signed off simply as 'Oracle Leadership.'“We are sharing some difficult news regarding your position.After careful consideration of Oracle's current business needs, we have made the decision to eliminate your role as part of a broader organizational change.

However, two of them were Black and two were women, and those were the names Hegseth wanted removed.According to The New York Times, George refused, citing the officers' history of exemplary service. George reportedly asked Hegseth to meet two weeks ago to discuss the matter, but Hegseth declined. The defense secretary then struck the officers' names from the promotion list, even though it's not clear he has the authority to do so, per The Times.Hegseth has repeatedly taken steps to block or delay the promotions of Black and female senior officers in all four branches of the military.Secretary of the ArmyLabor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemerArmy Secretary Daniel Driscoll (26th Secretary of the Army)2004–2007 Student (B.S.

At approximately five percent of its U.S. locations where employees have union representation, Starbucks acknowledged that federal labor law requires the bonus program to go through the collective bargaining process before it can take effect.

I think most large companies are overstaffed by 50%. I think a lot of them are overstaffed by 75%.” He added, “Now they all have the silver bullet excuse: Ah, it's AI.”So despite record profits every single year, increasing CEO pay, companies are OVERSTAFFED? They get paid less than inflation, and they have TOO MANY people? Some populist math:Assume “every large company” is companies with market cap > $20bn (~415 companies)Total employment as of last year: 27,795,346Total estimated employed people in US: 162,900,000 (62% labor participation)“Every large company” is 17% of all US employmentCurrently, 7,239,000 unemployed in USAndreessens mid point - “most large companies are overstaffed by 50%” - means he thinks they'll blame AI but that they “overemployed” by 13,897,717He is suggesting they are ALL FIREABLE because they are OVERSTAFFEDEmployment goes from 162,900,000 to 149,002,283, unemployment goes to 21,136,717, and the unemployment rate goes to 12% overnight - a 3x increase on the 4% it's at nowBecause Marc Andreessen thinks we're overstaffed… I wonder why…Studies historically have shown that the few days after layoffs stocks are down - but it depends on the reason for the layoff. Proactive layoffs (not a result of down financials, for instance) are rewardedRecent studies show that layoffs actually push stocks UP as time goes one - up to 22% cumulative return over normal 30 days out, and 5% 10 days out. Let's assume a 5% bump for all the proactive AI job cut assholes - the Block and Oracles of the world Other studies show that CEO pay goes up after layoffs if performance improves - so cutting staff for AI pushes stock up, stock up is better performance, CEO pay goes up Using the CEO pay ratio, the “cost savings” of cutting 14m employees is ~$1.4 TRILLION dollars (that's $1.4tn no longer in the hands of people who would be buying stuff like food and houses and gas and rubber chickens and inflatable pool floats)The cuts would add $3tn to market cap of all companies, save $1.4tn in employee costs - the average CEO pay ratio would go from 306 to 319, and the average CEO would make $22m moreThis isn't about overstaffing or AI - this is about CEOs getting paidHeadliniest of the WeekDR: CEO of Epic Games apologizes after laying off employee with terminal brain cancerDR: BlackRock CEO admits 'woke' era went too farDR: Raising Cane's CEO says he doesn't care for this one menu item, but had to sell it anyway: he always substitutes coleslaw for an extra piece of toastMM: New lawsuit alleges DraftKings and FanDuel are digital heroinMM: Scientists Say Half the World Could Be Nearsighted by 2050, and It's Not Just Screens.

Cat & Cloud Podcast  Cat & Cloud Coffee www.catandcloud.com/ Finding Joy in Every Season of Work: Part II – Ep #441 Summary In part two of this conversation on finding joy in every season of work, the team (Chris, Jared and Casey) digs deeper into the shift from barista life into leadership, ownership, and building something that lasts. Chris and Jared reflect on how early work experiences, both inspiring and dysfunctional, shaped the kinds of leaders they wanted to become and reinforced the importance of community, fun, and genuine human connection in coffee. The episode explores how easy it is for owners and leaders to lose sight of the original passion that got them started, especially under the pressure of business realities, but argues that joy can still be created intentionally through trust, teamwork, better systems, gratitude, and a commitment to improving the experience for both staff, guests and for yourself. Ultimately, it's a conversation about staying connected to purpose, remembering where you came from, having gratitude, and building workplaces where success and joy are not enemies.

Rog is joined by Real Salt Lake and USMNT midfielder Diego Luna to debut a new show at the Men in Blazers Media Network, Shoot for the Moon. The two trace Luna's journey from playing up against 10-year-olds at age five to betting on himself in the USL and rising to MLS and the national team. He reflects on the setbacks that forged his “dog mentality,” choosing the U.S. over Mexico, and what a home World Cup means to him. Plus, the barista side quest that built his confidence off the field and fan questions.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
