Roasting coffee sets the stage for how much potential enjoyment a customer has in drinking it. In order to truly bring out the best in a particular coffee, you need to consider details about the coffee that impact its behavior and development. One of the big ones of course is the cultivar you are roasting and being able to start determine a profile from a place of understanding based on what that cultivar generally likes. Today on this 33rd episode of Rate of Rise, brought to you by our friends at Mill City Roasters, we are sitting down with Rob Hoos to discuss his NEW book, "Cultivar: A Practical Guide for Coffee Roasters". For Decades now Rob Hoos has been an industry leading roaster, consultant, and author whose work is is born from patient and thorough exploration and experimentation. We had him on the show a while back to talk about his first book, "Modulating the Flavor Profile of Coffee", and now we explore Rob's NEW book and talk about the insights and findings from his research around roasting the various cultivars of coffee a roaster in today's marketplace is likely to come across. This is a great episode for anyone interested in roasting their coffee as well as that coffee can be roasted. Respecting the cultivar will open up a lot more both in the coffee and in your customers enjoyment of it!

Feedback. It is all too common to use this word. But do many of us actively pursue it as if it is foundational to the success of our businesses? Chances are not really. And in so doing we lose out on connection, relevancy , and have a harder time delivering value that creates momentum with our coffee. All because when we talk about relationship coffee, we tend to leave out the consumer. Today on this 32nd episode of Rate of Rise, brought to you by our friends at Mill City Roasters, we are sitting down with cofounder of Mirror Coffee Roasters in Bellingham Washington, Mark Kutrovski! Mark and his brother Seirgi both had a solid career in coffee before founding Mirror Coffee Roasters 5 years ago. Their brand has, from the beginning been focused on quality and guided by a consitent puruit of connecting with and getting feedback from their customers. Both consumers and wholesale customers. In today's episode we explore the need for all roasters to pursue feedback in how they source, roast, and communicate value to their customers and why it is of particualr importance nright now!

Mike likes two things: coffee and bikes. Or rather, Mike is manic about coffee and bikes. In fact, Mike is SO obsessed with coffee there was almost no time to talk about bikes. We cover the business of good beans: ethical sourcing, natural vs washed, roasting, and more. And, we cover how to enjoy those fancy beans without pretense: how to brew good coffee at home, why some beans are “oily,” washed vs natural varieties, and the slippery slope of good coffee. Grab a big ‘ol cuppa joe and dive in! Traction Coffee Roasters Thanks to Andy Eppler and David Cutter Music for our intro and outro music.
Neste episódio da temporada From Regular Human to Half-Ironman, eu e a minha co-host Helena Paixão conversamos com Sílvia Coutinho, autora do livro O Poder da Relação. Nesta conversa, exploramos a importância dos vínculos emocionais e o impacto que a saúde mental tem na forma como nos relacionamos com os outros. Sílvia partilha a sua visão sobre como a estabilidade emocional e a reciprocidade fortalecem os laços amorosos, familiares e de amizade, e explica como a saúde mental pode influenciar a resolução de conflitos e a nossa capacidade de sermos autênticos. Tivemos também uma discussão sobre o papel da terapia de casal e familiar e os sinais de alerta que indicam quando uma relação pode estar a prejudicar a nossa saúde mental. Sílvia oferece conselhos práticos para quem atravessa momentos de fragilidade e deseja manter relações saudáveis e equilibradas durante o processo de cura. ⚠️ Nota: devido a um problema técnico durante a gravação, a qualidade do som pode não estar perfeita.

Coffee brings people together for all sorts of reasons. One of the beautiful ways coffee is used is as a vehicle for change in areas of our world that desperately need it. Nowhere is change more needed than in the realm of human trafficking and exploitation. I am thrilled to talk with a couple of professionals on the front lines of this fight. We are talking with Jenny Barber and Jake Jiron of Talitha Coffee Roasters! Jenny Barber, Cofounder of Talitha Coffee Roaster has spent the past 14 years becoming an expert on the topic of Human Trafficking. Determined to make a positive difference after witnessing the devastating, intergenerational impact of the issue from a young age Jenny founded Talitha Coffee Roasters. Their mission is to end Human trafficking and support survivors, one sip at a time. They do this By creating job opportunities, providing support for survivors of human trafficking, and partnering with experts as well as individuals and organizations seeking to benefit others. Jenny herself is a survivor of childhood exploitation. Today, she's a mother of 6, college graduate, business and non-profit leader, and tireless advocate. Jake Jiron, originally from Bakersfield, CA, began his journey in specialty coffee in 2016 after graduating from San Diego State University. Starting as a farmer's market pop-up coordinator, he quickly expanded his roles to include admin tasks, invoicing, delivery driving, and ultimately transitioned into sales. Over the past seven years, Jake's focus has been on selling coffee and managing wholesale customers, turning his passion into a dedicated career. Inspired by the mission and vision of the company, he knew he wanted to be part of something bigger that made a tangible difference in people's lives. Believing he could use his skills to support those in need of employment and opportunity, he made the decision to join Talitha Coffee. In this conversation we discuss: Building a Business with Purpose: The Talitha Model Creating Employment Opportunities for Survivors The Importance of Quality in Coffee and Mission Alignment Navigating Relationships with Wholesale Accounts Training and Supporting Survivors in the Workplace Empowering Survivors Through Care Plans Onboarding and Workforce Readiness Celebrating Growth and Skills Development Fostering Long-Term Relationships Partnerships for Impact and Support Links: www.talitha.com Instagram: @talithacoffeeroasters Related episodes: 106 : Changing Lives Through Coffee w/ Pamela Chng of Bettr Barista Founder Friday!

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, we are joined by Shari Edelson. Shari is a PhD student researching human impacts in wilderness areas, specifically the impacts of human dookie in the backcountry. We chat about in which circumstances wagbags are warranted, the challenges with compliance when they are, when it's perfectly okay to bury your shit, and how future conservation efforts should be allocated to making this easier to understand for hikers. We also chat about Shari's thru-hike of the TA and are blessed with some plant fun facts, stemming from their background as a horticulturist. We wrap the show with how to score the most competitive long trail permits in 2025, if farts are pushing out poop or if poop is pushing out farts, and the triple crown of things that happen all the time but no one sees.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by Topo Athletic, we're joined by Tara Dower, the new holder of overall Fastest Known Time on the Appalachian Trail. Tara gives us the low down on every aspect of her recent record-breaking trek, including how she fell wildly behind pace after the first two states, her nutrition, her sleep habits (or lack thereof), how vital her crew was in her success, the criticism she's faced for "hiking too fast", running a 100-mile race just a few weeks prior to the attempt, and much more. Tara also goes into more depth on her backpacking and FKT background and we subject her to a pair of brutally awkward fornicate, marry, kill questions. Fun times all around. We wrap the show with our triple crown of guilty pleasure songs, a stupid thing of the week (Zach hurts himself again), and the most unrealistic thing we thought we could be when we were kids.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by Topo Athletic, we are joined by Jabba and Lt Cookoo for another BPR classic. This one, in expected fashion, is all over the map. We start by getting a brief update of what Cookoo has been up to since his last appearance on the show followed by a more detailed update from Jabba, primarily about a once-in-a-lifetime bikepacking trip through Iceland, a trip that nearly robbed his soul in the best and worst way possible. We then dive into a QA format, including the top advice they'd give to themselves before their first backpacking trip, their favorite treks that take one month or less, the best stories from the trails they've hiked together, the inevitable point at which they butt heads and much more. The boys stick around for segments, which is also predictably weird. We provide our wiping techniques in alarming detail, the triple crown of things a dentist can say but not a gynecologist, and Viking gives Chaunce wedding advice.

There are many great coffee shops and roasters in this world. What makes a great cafe in my mind is intentionality, a focus on kindness, consistency, hospitality, and quality as a pursuit in service of those things. Living in Louisville, KY I am fortunate to be only 2 hours away from one of my favorite places that I feel has consistently exemplified those virtues. Crema Coffee Roasters! Today on Founder Friday we get the pleasure of talking with the co-founder of Crema Coffee Roasters, Rachel Lehman. In 2008, Rachel Lehman, a coffee professional with over a decade of experience in barista and management work, along with her husband Ben, founded Crema Coffee. The beginnings of Crema was born from their shared midwestern work ethic and determination to carve out and cultivate something that would endure and have a lasting positive impact. From their first small cafe - to taking on roast - to now having 3 cafes, a thriving wholesale program, and many national and local awards to their name, the dream has been to create a business that provided hospitality and great coffee for their community and learning opportunities for baristas and staff. Crema has grown to not only fulfill those dreams multiple times over, but has also made a large impact on the greater industry with the example it sets as a zero-waste cafe and a roastery that exemplifies intentionality and consistent holistic focus on relationships. In this conversation we explore the early years and the start of Crema and learn about how this business has scaled and grown with integrity, consistency, and hospitality as the foundation We cover Starting and Growing a Coffee Business How coffee and music share similarities in terms of practice and discipline. Why defining a clear mission and values is crucial for a successful coffee business. Aligning company culture with the customer experience is essential. How building a strong team of leaders and coaching them is key to success. Alignment as a crucial component for effective cross-departmental leadership. Finding the right balance between bringing in outside talent and maintaining company culture is a challenge.

Coffee roasters serve as behind-the-scenes laborers in the coffee industry. We may not see nor speak with them directly as often as we do baristas, but a lot ride on their craft, decisions, and know-how. Let this episode be a reminder of the invaluable skills that coffee roasters bring to the industry. The coffee industry (especially specialty) is often veil-covered and full of walled gardens - let's do what we can to change that. Thanks to Shawn Thigpun (head roaster of Ethnos), Nick Petty (production specialist of Ethnos Coffee), and Sustain's Dante Baker for chatting on this episode. Buy coffee from Ethnos!

Today is Wednesday, August 7th and Happy 69th Birthday to actor Wayne Knight. ***08.07.24 – BIRTHDAY – WAYNE KNIGHT*** I'm Keith Ippolito and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Break Coffee Roasters Opens Second Gwinnett Location at Historic Laundry Building in Lawrenceville Mill Creek Grad Natalia Herrera Earns NCAA Postgraduate Internship Gwinnett's Eastern Greenway Trailhead and Apalachee Pump Station is Now Open Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets will cover cooking for a picky toddler. All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! Break 1: KIA MOG STORY 1: AROUND TOWN: This New Lawrenceville Business Will Perk You Up Today, we highlight the opening of Break Coffee Roasters at 235 North Perry St., Lawrenceville, in the former Laundry building. This is their second Gwinnett location, offering a variety of coffee flavors and educational resources on brewing. Break Coffee Roasters aims to provide a unique coffee experience and improve at-home brewing. For details, visit breakroasters.com. STORY 2: Mill Creek Grad Natalia Herrera Earns NCAA Postgraduate Internship Buford native Natalia Herrera, a graduate student and former softball player from Georgia Southwestern State University, has begun a prestigious yearlong NCAA Postgraduate Internship. Selected from nearly 1,000 applicants, Herrera is the first GWS student-athlete and Peach Belt Conference representative in the program. The internship offers training and insights into college sports administration, focusing on ethnic minorities, women, and former student-athletes. Based in Indianapolis, Herrera will work in NCAA Division III governance and expressed gratitude for the support from her community and GSW. STORY 3: Gwinnett's Eastern Greenway Trailhead and Apalachee Pump Station is Now Open Residents of eastern Gwinnett can now enjoy over two miles of the new Eastern Regional Greenway Trail, which officially opened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The trail, part of the Eastern Regional Infrastructure project, will eventually extend to 5.25 miles, running along the Apalachee River and passing under major roads. Located at 2892 Harbins Road, the trailhead features a play area, pavilion, restrooms, seating, and parking.

We'll be right back Break 2: TOM WAGES STORY 4: Breakfast Is Now Free At All Title I Schools In Gwinnett For the 2024-2025 school year, students at 76 Gwinnett County Title I schools will receive free breakfast through the federal Special Assistance Alternative Provision 2 program. This initiative allows all students at these schools, where many already qualify for free or reduced meals, to enjoy free breakfasts. The program, part of the USDA's National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs, supports districts financially while ensuring no loss in meal variety. The decision to only apply the program to breakfasts is to avoid impacting Title I status, which depends on free and reduced meal applications. STORY 5: Harris picks Minnesota governor Walz as running mate Kamala Harris selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate in her bid for the White House. Walz, a 60-year-old Midwesterner, was chosen to balance the ticket and counter Republican attacks on Harris's left-leaning image. This choice aims to broaden Harris's appeal and includes a strong campaign strategy with a five-day swing through key battleground states. Harris, who recently secured the Democratic nomination, faces Trump in a closely contested race, with her campaign focusing on contrasting Trump's record and appealing to voters with a progressive yet practical agenda. We'll be back in a moment Break 3: INGLES 6 And now, here is Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on cooking for a picky toddler. ***LEAH MCGRATH INERVIEW*** We'll have final thoughts after this.

Coffee roasters and coffee shops should be working together to help each other thrive and succeed. In this episode, we talk about how we set coffee shops up for success when they partner with us.

Earthkeepers: A Circlewood Podcast on Creation Care and Spirituality
In this episode, we'll be talking with TJ Fittis, owner of Camano Island Coffee Roasters. I became a fan of Camano Island Coffee way back in 2006, when I asked the company's founder, my friend Jeff Ericson, to come lecture in a course I was teaching. This course was all about social entrepreneurship—and for those not familiar with that term, a social enterprise is a business that exists not just for financial profit, but also for social benefits that somehow make the world a better place. Jeff was a great person to help me teach social entrepreneurship because, in the year 2000, he had founded Camano Island Coffee Roasters as a means of supporting ethical farming practices, fair pricing and wages, and most importantly, the production of great tasting, all-organic coffee. To accomplish these social and environmental objectives, he partnered early on with a nonprofit called Agros—and organization that helps the very poor in Central America to gain access to land for farming, and to establish new cooperative villages. Eventually, Jeff sold the company to his son-in-law, TJ—who continues to pursue these founding values of making the world a better place by practicing good—and profitable—business principles. But even if you aren't a business person, there is wisdom in this conversation that can help us to make more earth-wise choices as consumers. That's where we started our conversation, in fact—with the ways in which Camano Island Coffee uses their subscription-based model they call the Coffee Club, to provide a high quality, organic product that is better for the coffee consumer, for farmers, and for the environment.Guest: TJ Fittis Camano Island Coffee LinkedIn Mentions: Camano Island Fair Trade Certification Find us on our website: Earthkeepers Support the Earthkeepers podcast Check out the Ecological Disciple Keywords: coffee, coffee roasting, fair trade, Camano Island, farming, farmers social justice, environment, small business, local business, organic, sourcing, decentralization, community, consumers Find us on our website: Earthkeepers Support the Earthkeepers podcast Check out the Ecological Disciple
