Coffee is more than just a drink. It is an expression of cultural values and a vehicle through which we experience many different facets of this rich life. No matter where you are from, it is easy to think only of the our own way of enjoying coffee and then to never really explore how deeply rooted and significant coffee is around the world in cultures different from our own.  Well today we are going to balance the scales a bit and broaden our worldview of coffee by talking with the author of a new book all about global coffee culture, Lani Kingston! Lani Kingston is a food consultant, author, and founder of F&B agency, Four Seasons of Food. Her first book, How to Make Coffee: The Science Behind the Bean, was released to international acclaim in 2015 and has since been translated into several languages. Her third book on coffee, Spill The Beans: Global Coffee Culture was released by international publisher gestalten in February 2022. Lani has written extensively about food and drink for varied publications and developed F&B products and brands around the world. Armed with a Masters in Food Studies, a Masters in Education, pastry chef, and barista qualifications, she's spent the last 15 years working the breadth of the industry: she helped set up and ran the European offshoot of MAST Chocolate; led a food-waste-powered cooking school in Australia; set up a coffee company in Singapore; and worked with renowned chef Dan Barber at his prestigious farm-to-table upstate New York restaurant Blue Hill at Stone Barns. You can follow her adventures in food and coffee on Instagram @lanikingston, read more about her work at lanikingston.com, or get help with your f&b business at fourseasonsoffood.com. In our conversation with Lani we will explore how her experiences in writing, the culinary world, and coffee have influenced and shaped her pursuit of giving readers not just information about coffee, but an understanding of it through exploring its meaning and the story of its expressions globally.  We cover:  Initial career and experiences in the food industry Discovering coffee through writing Immersion into the culture of coffee Writing t give understanding Exploring global coffee culture Unfurling the true coffee story and inspiring wonder Expanding our view of what good coffee is How culture and history deepens our understanding  Allowing your understanding of culture to evolve Favorite recipes from the book   Links: www.Fourseasonsoffood.com Lani on Instagram @lanikingston   Related episodes: 022 : Founder Friday w/ Colin Harmon of 3fe Coffee, Dublin Ireland & Author of the new book, “What I know About Running Coffee Shops” 349 : Talking About 21st Century Coffee w/ Kenneth Davids 297 : Making Coffee Education Fun w/ Suneal Pabari of Leaderboard Coffee 198 : The Evolution of the Coffee Shop w/ Prof. Jonathan Morris 196 : Understanding Customer Preferences w/ Peter Giuliano Interested in consulting?

This week, James chats to the fairy godmother of the Irish coffee world: Colin Harmon. They chat about the creation of the 3FE empire, good sandwiches and how to make a French omelette that would make Julia Child gush.Produced by James Kavanagh & Voco Studios Dublin

People open coffee shops for many reasons. Some good and some-not so good. It really all depends on how you approach the "why" behind your business that determines your success. In a time where the barrier to enter the coffee house space is quite low we see a deluge of new cafes opening and quickly struggling then closing due to a lack of proper preparation born from a lack of proper mindset going into it.  On today's episode we will be chatting about five of the most common reasons people open a coffee shop and why they might not be the best reasons for beginning this journey.  1. The Dream  2. My Own Business  3. The Money Maker  4. The Community Hangout Space  5. The Vanity Shop    Episodes to listen to next: 223 : Building a Financially Resilient Business w/ Andrew Carroll 239 : 5 Best Practices for the Best Small Business w/ Henry Lopez 202 : Mastering your Finances and Accounting w/ Keila Hill-Trawick of Little Fish Accounting 202 : Mastering your Finances and Accounting w/ Keila Hill-Trawick of Little Fish Accounting 022 : Founder Friday w/ Colin Harmon of 3fe Coffee, Dublin Ireland & Author of the new book, “What I know About Running Coffee Shops” 242 : A Conversation with James Hoffmann   Visit our sponsors! www.prima-coffee.com/keys www.pacficfoodservice.com www.coffeefest.com

OK! Today we get to talk with coffee legend James Hoffmann! On top of being the 2007 World Barista Champion and Co-owner of Square Mile Coffee Roasters, a renowned roastery in London, James is also the author of the World Atlas of Coffee, and runs one of the world's most popular and fun coffee YouTube channels where he dives deep into everything from coffee equipment, coffee science, brewing, extraction, agronomy, taste, and really anything to do with coffee. In essence, James is a purveyor of ideas for and about coffee that, over the years, have helped us all to better navigate the landscape of specialty coffee either as enthusiasts or professionals.  James is an excellent teacher and has a gift for clearly articulating his thoughts and ideas around topics and his approach to questions that can be at first a bit confusing, both disarms and welcomes people into the world of coffee. In this fantastic conversation we get into a number of those questions that are at the heart of what we do in specialty coffee and the cafe. I believe James' thoughts here will be of great value as we seek to build a better industry and better businesses into the future.  We cover: What makes specialty coffee special How accessible should it specialty be What it means to be inclusive of customers What are good mindsets to have for business The role does the cafe plays When differentiators become a barriers Winning the trust of customers The problem of low barriers in starting a coffee business How cafes have contributed to problems in the industry  Good business models post-COVID Links: www.jameshoffmann.co.uk Subscribe to James' You Tube Channel www.squaremilecoffee.com James on Instagram   Related Episodes: 206 : The Emotional and Social Impact of the Cafe Space w/ Noa Berger 138 : Joseph A.

This week on SME Sessions, myself and Jamie Heaslip are chatting

EPISODE 58? THAT'S REALLY GREAT!His name is Harmon. Colin Harmon. His mission? To turn the River Liffey into one big stream of coffee. To have free flat whites for the under fives by 2022 and to harness the power of a frothy cappuccino to fuel cars. This over-achieving Naas native currently has five establishments dotted across Dublin city centre, most recently Gertrude on Pearse St, and supplies his brand of 3fe coffee all over Ireland and the world. After studying B&L in college and getting a snazzy job in finance he ultimately decided that it was not for him. Colin thought about what he wanted to do with his life and took his passion for brewing coffee and opened up a whole new world to him. He's even written a jaysusin' book on running coffee shops, has taken part in the World Barista Championships a number of times and has even been on Six One News. I didn't want to bring it up in the interview but unlike me, he's probably never won a bronze 60m hurdle medal in the All-Irelands so I guess you can't have it all.This is the last episode of The 80% for the Christmas break and I'll be back in the New Year with even more fantastic, all-singing, all-dancing, wi-fi enabled guests plus hopefully more live shows! Thanks to all of you who have listened and supported the podcast this year (and always). You're a great bunch and the most discerning sets of ears in the universe ; ) I hope you get a break over Christmas (I'll be working for some of it so my sympathies to those of you who do too) but I am looking forward to transforming into a major sloth for a few days. If this is a crappy time of year for you, don't worry. It will all be over soon and trust me, all will be well. I can feel it!See you in 2019 cuties.EO'MD xTo find out more about Colin and 3fe here you go! https://3fe.com/If you have enjoyed this podcast please rate and review it wherever you get your podcasts.

It was a pleasure to welcome 3FE Coffee's Colin Harmon to the Banter tent at the Bloom Festival in Dublin's Phoenix Park last year. Colin is an experienced Banter hand at this state of the proceedings, but this was the first time we’ve had him for an in-depth one on one conversation about how and why he gave up a career in investment funds to dedicate himself to coffee. His move from high finance to caffeine has been a good one, as outlined in this story of his award-winning coffee, food and café business.

Another week, another Tamper Tantrum first: Nick Cho brought some structure to Colin & Steve’s bickering at the end of our day in New York by moderating a full-on debate on the subject of barista competitions. Colin & Matt Perger argue for the motion “barista competitions are dead”; Steve and Jenn, against. Stakes are high as both sides try to win the audience over and avoid embarrassment: the losing side has to read real-life yelp reviews in their best non-native accent.   What do you think? Are barista competitions dead?

Is it coincidence or a clever scheduling move on our part that No. 66—released the Monday before we return to Cup North’s Manchester Coffee Festival this weekend—features the most-watched speaker to come out of our first year there? We’ll let you decide. In any case, this week, Colin Harmon is joined by Ross Brown as they talk through the building of Browns of Brockley, the early days of London coffee scene, and why opening a coffee shop can sometimes be a terrible, messy, and cringe-y—although still wonderful—thing.   www.nuovasimonelli.it/en/

It’s been quite a whirlwind these past two weeks—UK National Coffee Throwing Championship, Cup North, and BGE’s CoLab: Paris—but after three very successful events, we’re back in the post-editing chair and ready to share some of what’s been said. First up from Cup North is none other than 3FE’s mad-ideas man, Tamper Tantrum co-founder, and all around gentle giant, Colin Harmon with his twitter-sourced talk title, “Fuck Cupping.” Described as “an exploration of cupping as an appropriate process, and the silly metrics we use in coffee shops”, “Fuck Cupping” is an eye-opening look at the cupping protocol, its use in shops, and what it means to be innovative in general. We don’t really have much to say other than that, really. This is Colin’s third talk at a live event and it’s just as much of a mic drop as his presentation at the first ever Tamper Tantrum in 2011.

For our last SCAA short, we grabbed long-time friend and all-around super-talented guy, Pete WIlliams. The 2014 Irish Barista Champion chats with Steve about his start in the kitchens, his first mind-blowing coffee experience, and about what it's like to get creepy texts from Colin Harmon. Also covered: Finnish coffee consumption per capita, taming the beast, and some frank thoughts about what it means to deliver value to the company for which you work.

Despite the fact that you can only hear the dulcet tones of his voice, a very dapper Mike Philips joined Colin Harmon at the SCAA Event in Seattle to dish about his transition from an owner of Handsome Coffee Roasters to the Director of Training for Bluebottle, "Intelli's Greatest Hits from 2009," and why working in Tokyo has been awesome (hint: it involves Braveheart speeches). Also covered: marketing that isn't marketing and the great Colin Harmon/Mike Philips Feud, which stretches all the way back to Atlanta in 2009.

Welcome to Tamper Tantrum the lost files Back in the summer of 2012 myself Stephen Leighton and Colin Harmon hosted a group of 12 coffee luminaries, to come present on a coffee topic of their choice at the SCAE world of coffee event in Vienna. This was not the first time we had put on such an event, but it was the first time we didn’t have control of the AV crew for the production. The previous two events we collated a set of videos which can be viewed at Tamper Tantrum dot com. But in Vienna something went horribly wrong with the video quality we had. Although something gets lost without the visuals I decided that instead of them being lost forever, that I would make them available in audio format. This is number 9 in the series, please give it up for Seife Tuuloskorpi

Tamper Tantrum Live, Presentation Number One Colin Harmon, What I know about Running a Coffee Shop

I'm really proud of this particular episode, which actually seems a bit wrong considering Colin is the one saying all the interesting stuff. I think there is some incredibly important stuff covered in this, for baristas and for business owners. Things we talk about: – A great way to think about quality, and quality control...

Tamper Tantrum Episode the 3rd "staring" Stephen Leighton and Colin Harmon. Coffee Fueled fun

Before Tamper Tantrum the world did excisit, it was a poorer place, then there was this. Warning this is a VERY long video(and after a late night celebrating) interview with Colin Harmon the Irish Barista Champion and 4th placed world barista Champion with Ben Helfen (of Octane fame) also looking rather partied out, and Stephen Leighton of Has Bean Coffee asking the questions. Also David of theotherblackstuff.ie fame in the back ground grunting.
