It's Founder Friday! I am thrilled to be able to feature a conversation with an old friend and coffee OG, Jeff Taylor. Jeff is the Co-Founder and CEO of the legendary PT's Coffee Roasters in Topeka, KS and the Owner/ President of Bird Rock Coffee in San Diego, CA. In todays episode we dive into Jeff's 27 year journey from founding a small shop called PT's with his business partner Fred Polzin to now being at the helm of an amazing team of coffee professionals that run 10 cafes and two wholesale roasting company’s in 3 states. Jeff left a very successful career in photo journalism to work fully in coffee and I am so glad he did. PT's has been at the forefront of many of our industries firsts. Jeff worked with a select group to develop what eventually became the United States Barista Competition (USBC), dating back to 1999. Jeff made the transition to Coffee Buyer for PT's Coffee in 2004 and began the process of building relationships with producers around the world which led to forming one of the first Direct Trade models. (Today, PT’s Coffee Roasting Co. Coffee and Bird Rock Coffee Roasters (acquired in 2017) source approximately 85% of our coffee’s directly from farmers) Jeff also served one term on the Specialty Coffee Association of America's Board of Directors through 2010 after which he returned to focus on growing the business sharing sourcing responsibilities with his wife, Maritza Taylor, and Director of Operations Brent Pipiergerdes, so that he could lead the transition and purchase of Bird Rock Coffee Roasters in San Diego, CA. In 2016. This has been a long and winding path leading to what is undeniably a great coffee career. Patience, relationships, stubbornness, dedication, and trusting your gut are just a few of the themes that emerge here and I feel like we can all see a bit of ourselves and our star in Jeff's. I hope you enjoy this episode. Like Jeff's career, it's a bit on the long side but worth every minute to be able to learn from one of the original specialty coffee professionals.

THE 23RD STEP Episode 31 Part 2 Bird Rock Coffee Roasters 2212 Carmel Valley Rd. Del Mar, CA This week we are back at Bird Rock Coffee Roasters for part two. We had an in depth discussion about the coffee business, and what it takes to open a new store. Why do some startups fail while others succeed? Finding an under-served area is the first criteria, but making sure they maintain the high level of quality, both in coffee and staff, is equally as important. Their goal is to represent the commitment they have to farmers, their individual stories, and transmitting this consistently to each customer as well. What makes Bird Rock the best it can be? According to Jeff it’s keeping the coffee culture consistent and tight, utilizing, while nurturing the skill sets of each employee, and promoting from within. As an example, Jacob,(one of our interviewees this week) is now the green buyer and began as a barista at Bird Rock. Bird Rock's philosophy on training baristas is much more extensive than simply teaching how to do a pour over. Your barista will know what goes on behind each cup of coffee they hand you, from origin, to farmers, to roaster. Their goal is to have any questions you have about coffee explained by the person that makes your coffee.The information gleaned at Bird Rock Coffee Roasters will be knowledge for you wherever you may get your next cup of coffee. You will learn how Jeff survived riding up a mountain in Columbia with armed guards just to see the farm of an award winning coffee. Did he really understand who and what FARC was? We learned about coffee being the one constant in Columbia, a country sometimes filled with turmoil and strife. In Maritza's telenovela, "coffee loving Latino meets coffee loving gringo". Only after they were married would Maritza find out it was her "crazy gringo" that went up the mountain. Jacob's one wish was both poignant, and funny! Is knowing how to speak Spanish really that important in the coffee industry? While traveling with a band the lesson he learned that would be best practiced by all of us. This week in the first ever episode of Free Refills we talk by phone with Jeff Taylor to help us clarify some questions left hanging on Geisha coffee from part one. What is the most that you would pay for a cup of coffee? And just what is the 23rd step? After listening to this weeks episode, if you have a question you want us to follow up with, please email us at contact@crosscountrycoffeeroadshow.com, and we will try to make that happen! https://crosscountrycoffeeroadshow.com/
TRIPPED AND FELL INTO COFFEE Episode 30 Part 1 Bird Rock Coffee Roasters 2212 Carmel Valley Rd. Del Mar CA. Coffee drinkers have different ideas of perfection. For some it's the type of roast, while for others its the search for origin, fair-direct trade or a specific blend. Do you now how to use your local owner or barista to choose and prepare your favorite mouth watering elixir? Does your favorite coffee shop give back to the community and to the farmers who grow and produce the beans that eventually end up in your cup? In this episode of CCCRS (Tripped and Fell into Coffee) owners Jeff Taylor, and his wife Maritza, along with coffee buyer Jacob White, took time out of their busy schedules to sit down and talk with us, about all of that and more! The discussion in two parts that followed,we feel, is a master course in all things coffee. In 1993 Jeff was a photojournalist in Topeka Kansas, and discovered Topeka was "coffee dry". Out of "manic panic" and necessity for quality coffee he opened a coffee shop. Now 27 years later they have a thriving business with six coffee stores in San Diego, and is now part of the PT's coffee family of Topeka Kansas. His philosophy is to concentrate on making the absolute best coffee and the customers will find you. Maritza is from Columbia and in charge of quality control. Her internship from college led her to the Federation of Coffee Growers, a specialty coffee program, and then to judging coffee competitions, where she met Jeff, and it was a match made in coffee heaven. With her sensitive palate it was agreed that Maritza " always has the final say when it comes to selecting coffee." Jacob went from barista to coffee buyer where he forecasts and assesses the needs of exporters, and farmers. He also works with quality control and roasters to meet the requirements of customers and growers. From roast profiles, to what makes a good barista Jacob has the answer. Not only did they receive 2012 roster of the year by Roast Magazine and produce 90 + coffee from Coffee Review, Maritza is a Q grade certified roaster ( a person who is certified by the Coffee Quality Institute who is able to analyze Arabica coffee through smell & taste on site). They also won the 2017 Good Food Award. From selecting the right beans, the "right"country of origin for you. to choosing the perfect roasting profiles, and to what makes a great barista, this episode may become a reference source for anyone who loves coffee. This year we have two new segments. Literary Latte, which will include a favorite book, author, and why from each guest, and Free Refills. In Free Refills I will follow up by phone with a question not fully covered in our on site interview. Our first guest on Free Refill was with Jeff Taylor. In part one he touched on Geisha but I needed more information. In part two you will hear a more in depth discussion of Geisha Coffee. After listening to this weeks episode, if you have a question you want us to follow up with, please email us at contact@crosscountrycoffeeroadshow.com, and we will try to make that happen! https://crosscountrycoffeeroadshow.com/
