Takeaways We've had price movement down, which is great for roasters. Caution is warranted in the current market. We have very smart people here at Covoya. It's very frustrating for everyone involved with tariffs. Coffee will be exempt from new tariffs...for now. Hope is not a strategy for pricing decisions. Look at the market through your operating budget. Start looking at the market through the lens of your business.

We explore the growing trend of pre batched espresso, automated milk systems, and what these changes could mean for coffee shops, baristas, and guests. After running our own blind taste tests, the results challenged some of our assumptions about freshness, quality, and speed. We also discuss how technology is changing hospitality, how AI is reshaping other industries, and why the future of coffee may look very different than its past. If you love innovation or believe coffee should stay handcrafted, this is a conversation worth having.This week's episode is brought to you by our friends at Odeko: Use our code VALOR10 for 10% off your first supply order!

Takeaways Coffee people are the best people. The World of Coffee event had many highs and almost no lows. The inaugural Covoya Coffee Crawl was a huge success. Exploring San Diego's coffee scene was a highlight. Community connections are vital in the coffee industry. The sense of community at coffee events has evolved over the years. Old school latte art throwdowns bring back great memories. The overwhelming nature of big events can lead to a loss of personal touch. Smaller gatherings can foster deeper conversations and connections. Memorable moments often come from unexpected encounters at events. Support from organizations like Roast Magazine is vital for community events. Part of The Covoya Coffee Podcasting Network TAKE OUR LISTENER SURVEY Visit and Explore Covoya!

Today, we unpack how the industry has shifted: from purist pour-overs and strict “rules” to flavored lattes, matcha, and a reality that most cafés are just elevated versions of Starbucks. We talk through our own coffee shop journey since 2016, the tension between passion and profitability, and why customer demand has reshaped coffee shops more than anything else. Plus, we dive into whether this shift is actually a bad thing and how it impacts producers, baristas, and the future of specialty coffee.This week's episode is brought to you by our friends at Odeko: Use our code VALOR10 for 10% off your first supply order!

She explains that automotive wasn't her original plan—she came from nonprofit and corporate work—but fell in love with the industry's fast pace, adaptability, people, and marketing impact after five years in the business. Christene highlights key mentors, including her adoptive father and former leader Craig Linvall, sharing lessons like “Who will be better because of what I do today?” and “Nobody cares about your storm.” She names her hardest career lesson as learning that you can do everything right and still lose, and her greatest rewards as her daughter and successful community campaigns and initiatives.

In this episode, we break down the lease language that confuses everybody (CAM/TI, gross vs. triple net, rent escalators, commencement date, rent abatement, LOIs, and more) and what we wish we negotiated sooner. We also talk leverage—when you have it, when you don't, and how to use it before you sign anything.

In this episode of the Car Guy Coffee Podcast, hosts Lou Ramirez and Fred Lennartz welcome Paul de Vries, a European online automotive leader whose mission is to “make online automotive a better place.” Paul shares how he sold his first car online in 1998, helped build a platform to buy new cars online that was later acquired by eBay in 2015, and explains his marathon-minded approach of helping OEMs, franchise dealers, independents, and anyone in the industry without focusing on quick sales. In the show's “five liner,” Paul discusses his why, how he entered automotive through persistence after working as a gas station attendant, and how he earned his first sales role despite stuttering and limited experience. His greatest reward, he says, is being thanked years later for teaching and helping others, emphasizing the value of human capital, relationships, and attending industry events like NADA.

In this episode of the Sober.Coffee Podcast, hosts Mike and Glenn welcome guest Tim D to the coffee shop for a raw exploration of recovery titled "No Longer Paralyzed—healing through ‘help.'" The trio dives into the defining habits of alcoholism and the realization that while habits drive us, we have the power to shift from cycles of negativity to victories. They reflect on the "box" of addiction that once kept them paralyzed and why the simple, repeated action of attending meetings remains a vital lifeline. Key Discussion Points:The Power of Help: Challenging the stigma of reaching out, the group discusses why asking for help is a "superpower" and the essential act of "ripping off the mask" to find clarity.Action Over Impulse: A deep look at why we often don't "feel" like doing the right thing, but choose to do it anyway to maintain the gift of sobriety.New Beginnings: How new members energize the program by reminding veterans of where they came from, reinforcing that most don't have "another relapse" in them.Responsibility in a Troubling World: Navigating a society filled with conflicting opinions by focusing on personal responsibility and being "aware" enough to choose life over a drink. “I walk the sober path of recovery intensely and reap rewards beyond imagination... If I can help one individual toward sober success, my purpose has been fulfilled.”ABOUT US - Sober Coffee

It goes a long way!Your coffee shop can survive a lot, but these three mistakes will straight-up bury you if you make them early. In this episode of the Valor Coffee Podcast, we're back together in our new brew lab to break down the big one-way decisions: picking the wrong location, spending your budget in the wrong places, and hiring a manager too soon. We've been building Valor for 10 years (coffee cart → two cafés + wholesale), and we're sharing the stuff we wish someone had drilled into us before we signed leases and bought gear. If you're starting a café (or trying to stabilize one), this is the kind of episode that can save you months of pain and a lot of money.

We break down coffee as an ingredient vs coffee as a product, why origin relationships and storytelling matter, how roasters grow e-commerce as café margins tighten, and what it looks like when producers level up into specialty.

We're ready for the World Flairista Championship on this special year-in-rebrew episode of the Coffee Sprudgecast. Podcast hosts Jordan Michelman and Zachary Carlsen take the Flair 58+2 for a twirl with the La Prima Espresso Co. Buon Natale holiday blend. Jordan calls Zachary a "confirmed Flairista". Coffee podcast hosts can't live on espresso alone, so they slurped mightily upon a Ceado Hoop brew of New Orleans' own Brassline Coffee Roasters Session Blend. To smooth out, Michelman rips into some "Honey, Honey" herbal tisane from the Dona Tea Library. To take it up a notch, he adds Coffee Blossom Honey (available in a 5 gallon bucket format) effectively making it a "Honey, Honey, Honey". "I'm giving my personal designation of Jordan's Product of the Year to the Dona Tea Library," declares Michelman. Much is discussed on this episode—including a shout out to all of the Sprudgie Award Finalists. Vote now! This episode of the Coffee Sprudgecast is sponsored by Breville, noissue, Ceado, Pacific Barista Series, La Marzocco, Ghirardelli, and DONA.
