Podcasts about coffee wars

This week I talk about coffee: the history, the pharmacology, the politics and the legal battles. I take a dialectical perspective, which just means I focus on both sides of the coffee discussion: it has been blamed for sexual promiscuity and inability to perform; it has been the instigator of both dictatorships and revolutions; it has been labeled both a drug and an anti-drug in different times and places. I also talk about caffeine as a drug and the reason we don't live in a world where we are at war with caffeine in the same way we are at war with so many other drugs and drug users. I discuss Coca-Cola's caffeine lawsuit, cocaine/coca, feminist movement and coffee, neoliberalism and coffee, and the USA's persistent habit of meddling in the affairs of S. American countries. Support the show

"All the heads of every major label or big indie labels should be made to resign."

What if fame and commercial success weren't as great as the industry leads many artists to believe? This weeks guest, Kate Nash, had to face this question from an early age after her debut album found overnight success during the naughties. Because, even though there were good times and a few great people, burn out, industry sharks and misogyny were in abundance too. Kate was dropped from her label and, while many artists might understandably call it a day, Kate picked herself up and entered a new phase as a independent musician. And, as Kate shares inside this BONUS Special episode, while it's meant making music on her terms, it's also brought new challenges - between negotiating terms, building a trustworthy team and balancing the books - it's been far from an easy ride. But as you'll hear in this candid conversation, Kate has passion, courage and oodles of heart and has created a career encompassing music, acting and activism. This one's a must listen for any independent women in music!EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS{03:52} Introducing Kate Nash{12:44} Kate's journey to signing a record deal {27:23} Maintaining a work-life balance as an independent artist{34:48} Her personal experience as a woman in the industry {43:06} The meaning behind her track 'Conventional Girl'{46:41} Kate's experience of music technology and working with producers{01:00:30} Kate stars in new film 'Coffee Wars''Kate Nash: Underestimate The Girl' Documentary >>Watch the Official Trailer for 'Coffee Wars' >> Follow Kate on Instagram >>Visit Kate's website >> Subscribe to the podcast wherever you're listening and don't miss an episode of Girls Twiddling Knobs ⚡️

In this episode we see who wins best coffee in the fleet. Three active duty and veteran owned CG coffee companies went head to head in a taste test conducted by members in the fleet. The companies involved were Staunch Coffee Co., Humble Beginnings Coffee Co., and Oak & Iron Coffee Co. All the companies have been great and make way better coffee than most of your mess deck swill... Mr. Miami and myself did not participate in any of the official taste tests so there was no bias. All scores were given by active duty members in the fleet. We also talk about a pigeon who helped save hundreds of Americans during WW1.

For nearly a decade I would have called myself a very happy coffee addict. My two cups of morning coffee was sacred, a critical piece of my selfcare, practically a religion really, then everything changed. In this episode I take you through my journey from coffee addict to matcha Momma and we look at the benefits of each, why you might consider switching over, how my first few days and weeks went in the transition and what changes I noticed pretty much immediately. In this episode I also chatted about a special giveaway from my friends at VitaHealth where one lucky winner get a bag of the organic matcha I buy from them and a $50 gift card.

On this episode of FEVER DREAMS, hosts Will Sommer and Asawin Suebsaeng discuss the ongoing war for consumers that's raging between two MAGA-style coffee companies, with one of the companies landing in hot water with its fans for trashing the Proud Boys. “I love how Black Rifle Coffee is his perfect little metaphor for what has happened to the Republican Party over the past four years,” Suebsaeng said. Elsewhere on the episode, Suebsaeng and Sommer welcome actor, comedian, and Conan O'Brien sidekick Andy Richter, who dishes on his philosophy on late-night comedy and politics—and how eye-rollingly lame it was that one time Donald Trump actually dropped a condom right in front of him and Conan.

What kind of coffee does God pour into your cup each day?

Starbucks is closing stores while Dunkin's is hiring and offering quite the twist.And a lot more in today's podcast for you to think about!

Consumers' love affair with expensive customized cups of coffee shows no signs of abating even though most orders consist of little more than a cup of water a splash of milk a spoonful of coffee grinds and 30 seconds of labor. Indeed Starbucks has managed to turn its customers' craving for caffeine into a $6.4 billion a year business with close to 6 000 company-owned coffeehouses already up and running and five new ones opening each day. All of which explains why so many coffee sellers seem intent on taking away some of Starbucks' highly profitable market share. Yet according to Wharton marketing professors some companies are so obsessed with swiping business from Starbucks or losing customers to it that they may be abandoning a niche that has already proved profitable.

When your business category is dominated by a single brand and all the other brands put together don't equal them, it's time to create a counter-brand. Counter-branding – business judo – is rare and dangerous. But when you're overwhelmingly dominated, what have you got to lose? Prior to the creation of their “Uncola” counter-brand in 1967, 7-Up had survived for 38 years as a lemon-lime soft drink with the slogan, “You Like It. It Likes You.” Yippee Skippy call the press, a soft drink likes me. As in Judo, the secret of counter-branding is to use the weight and momentum of your opponent to your own advantage. In other words, hook your trailer to their truck and let them pull you along in their wake. The steps in counter-branding are these: 1. List the attributes of the master brand. In the case of 7-Up, the master brand was “Cola: sweet, rich, brown.” Everything else was either a fruit flavor or root beer and all of those put together were relatively insignificant. “Cola” overwhelming dominated the mental category “soft drinks.” 2. Create a brand with precisely the opposite attributes. To accomplish this, 7-Up lost their lemon-lime description and became “The Uncola: tart, crisp, clear.” 3. Without using the brand name of your competitor, refer to yourself as the direct opposite of the master brand. 7-Up didn't become UnCoke or UnPepsi as that would have been illegal, a violation of the Lanham Act. But when you're up against an overwhelming competitor, you don't need to name them. Everyone knows who they are. Let's look at a current example: Starbucks. Notice how I didn't have to name the category? All I had to say was “Starbucks” and you knew we were talking about coffee. That's category dominance. In the February 2005 issue of QSR magazine, Marilyn Odesser-Torpey writes about Coffee Wars, opening with the question, “Starbucks will certainly remain top dog among coffee purveyors, but who is next in line?” A little later we read, “Many of the competitors in the coffee segment are Starbucks look-alikes; if you take the store's signage down, it would be hard to tell the difference.” Traditional wisdom tells us to (1.) study the leader, (2.) figure out what they're doing right, (3.) try to beat them at their own game. This strategy can actually work when the leader hasn't yet progressed beyond the formative stages, but when overwhelming dominance has been achieved, as is currently the case with Starbucks, such mimicry is the recipe for disaster. Are all competitive coffee houses forever doomed to occupy the sad “me-too” position in the shadow of mighty Starbucks? Yes, until one of them launches a counter-brand. To determine what a Starbucks counter-brand would look like, we must first break Starbucks down into its basic brand elements: 1. Atmosphere: quiet and serene, a retreat, a vacation, like visiting the library. Bring your laptop and stay awhile. They've got wi-fi. 2. Color Scheme: muted, romantic colors. Every tone has black added. 3. Auditory Signature: music of the rainforest, soft and melodious 4. Lighting: subdued and shadowy, perfect for candles or a fireplace. 5. Pace: slow and relaxed. This is going to take awhile, but that's part of why you're here. 6. Names: distinctly foreign and sophisticated. Sizes include 'Grande' and 'Venti.' (No matter how you pronounce these, the 'barista' will correct you. It's part of the whole Starbucks wine-bar-without-the-alcohol experience.) Counter-brands succeed by becoming the Yin to the master brand's Yang, the North to their South, the equal-but-opposite 'other' that neatly occupies the empty spot that had previously been in the customer's mind. Here's what a Starbuck's counter-brand would look like: 1. Atmosphere: energetic and enthusiastic. Running shoes instead of bedroom slippers. Leave the car running because we won't be here long. 2. Color Scheme: bright, primary colors such as are...
