"Customers are already dialed in." This is one of my favorite quotes from the interview I had with today's guest. The industry has largely been focused on educating customers about coffee but not very good about educating themselves about the customer, and even less concerned about meeting people where they are or even celebrating their tastes. How can we approach the regular people that make up most of our customer base in a way that edifies instead of discourages?    That's what Matthew Bryce of Seven Sleepers Coffee Labs is here to talk about!   Matthew Bryce is a results-driven leader with over a decade of experience enhancing customer service, retail and food service operations. A specialist in elevating customer experiences, optimizing processes, and driving measurable improvements in sales, team productivity and quality of engagement.   With his extensive industry experience and people-first communal focus, his company Seven Sleepers Coffee Labs has been able to excite people about coffee through experiences and conversation.    I am grateful for this discussion and hope you all are encouraged to take action on the insights Matthew shares.    Link: https://www.instagram.com/sscoffeelabs/     Related Episodes: 333: Bridging the Professional and Home Barista Gap w/ Lance Hedrick of Onyx Coffee Lab 216 : Helping your Customers Brew at Home w/ Brian Beyke , I Brew my own Coffee Podcast 432 : How to Win in Specialty Retail Coffee Sustainability Series #4 : Consumer 360: Encore Episode!

If you've listened to our show long enough you would know that it's Kenny versus Fred and Ryan when it comes to coffee. Kenny isn't not much of a coffee drinker but those guys can't live without. But I'm sure there are lots of other coffee and bourbon drinkers out there and you see things like "barrel aged" coffee and immediately gravitate towards it. I mean, how could you not? We should be barrel-aging everything! But there are more correlations between coffee and bourbon that I never knew of so that's why we invited Brian Beyke on the show. He's the Director of Coffee for Quills in Louisville and has been all-in on coffee and bourbon for a long time. In this episode, we scratch an itch to ask all the questions about coffee that we've always wanted to know such as the difference in beans from small versus large scale producers, the "rare" coffee scene, buzzwords to watch out for, and Brian gives us the low-down if barrel-aging is a gimmick. Show Notes: Above the Char with Fred Minnick (@fredminnick) talks about palette fatigue. How did you find your path into coffee? Do you need to spit coffee while tasting? What notes in coffee are you looking for when tasting? Is there a three-tier system with coffee? What's the difference in the beans that you get versus the big name brands? Is there a "rare" coffee scene? What are the buzzwords in coffee that you need to watch out for? If bourbon is synonymous to Kentucky then what is the coffee equivalent? What's the professional consensus of Keurig? Does roasting line up with toasting or charring of barrels? What's best method for barrel-aging coffee? How do you adapt the coffee for a cold brew or nitro? Is there a secondary market for rare coffee? Is the coffee flavor wheel different than the bourbon flavor wheel? @abandoncoffee @abandonbourbon Support this podcast on Patreon

The journey of a barista often will lead to management. That particular role of leadership in the cafe comes with a host of changes that call on people to not only care for the quality and operations of the cafe, but the people themselves. Today we are going to be talking with Justin Duenne of Quills Coffee, a manager whose journey into the role is marked by a focus on team and the constant goal of providing a great experience for both barista and guest alike.  Justin began working in coffee in 2018 with Quills Coffee in Indianapolis. With a passion for coffee and community growing, Justin stepped into a manager role for the Indianapolis shop.  Throughout this time he's helped Quills Indianapolis step into a new chapter of the company and location. Justin is also an accomplished musician and songwriter. In this conversation we will be talking about Justin's jouney into coffee and then into management and the lessons he has learned regarding leadership, and the importance of a great team We cover: Becoming a barista  Taking on and learning leadership Lessons in teamwork and relying on others Hiring and creating the vibe Delivering a great coffee experience The connection between music performance and management Thankfulness and the importance of perspective   Links: www.quillscoffee.com Justin on Instaram @justinduennemusic Justin's music on Spotify   Related Episodes:  054 : Founder Friday w/ Nathan Quillo, Quills Coffee 216 : Helping your Customers Brew at Home w/ Brian Beyke , I Brew my own Coffee Podcast 336: A Cafe Leadership Masterclass w/ Selina Viguera of Blue Bottle Coffee 366: A Conversation w/ Chris Baca of Cat and Cloud Coffee   Interested in leveling up your coffee shop or setting up 1:1 coaching?

Innovation in the coffee industry is no longer just about large companies tweaking their standard equipment, but it is becoming democratized through small companies bringing their ideas to market through networking, research, and good old fashioned hard work. Today we are going to be talking with 2 of the 3 founders of one such company who sought to create the brew they always wanted but could not find. WE sit down with Michael Butterworth and Ozgur Jerdan of Etkin Design! Etkin believes that when brewing coffee, you shouldn't have to choose between batch size and quality. If you brew coffee for your friends and family, you're often stuck making multiple batches. The Etkin Dripper is a new, flat-bottom coffee dripper optimized to make up to one liter of coffee. Its proprietary design helps ensure an even extraction and ideal brew time resulting in a sweeter, more full-bodied cup of coffee.  Michael is a long time industry pro who has been a Q Grader, competitor, cafe trainer, and is an active AST certified trainer Ozgur is from Istabul,Turkey where the brewer is made with local porcelain and has a long history in academia around ESL, education, and organizational direction.  Aaron O'Neal is the other cofounder who is not present in this interview. His history and expertise is in the work of media and marketing consultation and leadership as well as a deep love and enthusiasm for coffee.  In our conversation today we explore the story of how these three friends conceptualized and brought this brewer to market, the relationships, challenges, and what their story means for innovation, hospitality, and how we enjoy coffee at home.  We Cover: Unique journey to market Hospitality Proper brewing geometry Creating ease for hosting Relationships in business Crowd funding and democratizing innovation Building trust with the manufacturer Turkish culture of hospitality Is home brewing tech too complex?

Home brewing is gaining more and more ground as our customers, who would normally come in to he shop, are brewing at home and looking for ways to replicator’s the coffee they love in the shop. This time in coffee history will likely lead to a permanent rise in the number of people brewing coffee at home and subequently a rise in whole bean sales. How we show up for them and help facilitate their success with our coffee really matters. We need to embrace and equip the home brewer and to help us do that we are hearing from the one and only, Brian Beyke, of the I Brew my own Coffee Podcast. Brian is the Director of Coffee for Quills Coffee, Co-host of the Unwrapped Chocolate Podcast, and lover of all things bourbon and whiskey. He is also the host of the I Brew my own Coffee Podcast, an award winning podcast hosted by himself and Bryan Schiele talking about the stories, coffee, gear, techniques, philosophies, and people that make up the wonderful world of home coffee brewing.

Scott discusses old Wild Turkey dustys and favorite bottles with Jay Tedder, Brian Beyke, and Chris Rogers at Ben's humble abode.

Chocolate and coffee seem to be made for each other! Whether you are having a simple well made mocha or pairing a bar with a single origin espresso, chocolate can compliment, enhance, and make more accessible the specialty coffee we serve. Yet, as much as we know about coffee, we tend to fall short when it comes to this very important part of our shops menu and offerings. This week we are talking with coffee pro and chocolate enthusiast, Brian Beyke to help us understand the world of craft chocolate and how we can make steps to level up our chocolate offerings in the cafe to better compliment the coffee we are so proud of. I learned a lot in this chat and I know you will too! Enjoy!  Brian is the Director of Digital Sales, Marketing, and Communications for Quills Coffee in Louisville, KY. He is also a co-host of both the I Brew My Own Coffee Podcast and Unwrapped - A Conversation About Chocolate podcasts.
