The landscape of specialty coffee has been influenced by many people and companies over the last few decades. The foundations of the standards and methods we use now, at one time, were merely ideas waiting for someone to put them into action. In the class of companies operators that have championed that exploration one of the most influential was Intelligentsia Coffee under the leadership of founder Doug Zell. Doug Zell is the founder of Intelligentsia Coffee and the Meteor Cafe. In 1995 he and Emily Mange founded what was just a small roastery and cafe in Chicago. Through a passion for design, coffee, and innovative hospitality Intelligentsia became an iconic brand with retail locations and roasting operations across the country and an influence in coffee that has inspired countless professionals globally. Intelligentsia was an early innovator of Direct Trade, and has boasted progressive design and service concepts that have challenged the status quo of training and hospitality in the industry. Included in their staff of some of the best green buyers, baristas, and managers, including a WBC Champion.  It is virtually impossible to measure the impact and contribution to coffee culture Intelligentsia has had and so much of it comes from the original values and goals that the company was founded on and the ability to develop a team to scale that vision.  In this first part of our 2 part Founder Friday we will be talking with Doug and focusing on the years of 1995-2015 and the establishment and growth of Intelligentsia Coffee all the way up to the acquisition of the company by Pete's Coffee. In part 2 we switch gears with Doug and talk about how he pivoted to start the unique concept of The Meteor Cafe. We discuss: Doug's entry into coffee and the coffee business The original store, concept, and values Growing in Chicago and working to lead with design How Doug grew his leadership and the  Why culture is a critical aspect of building a successful business Having confidence in your ideas and the ability to endure the challenges of a startup Competition's role in company culture and the barista craft Balancing local and national perception  How expansion can creates opportunities for growth and economic success.

How and why did Hiver start Chromatic coffee? His origin story is really inspiring. So many people say “this is what I want to do,” but what are you ready to give up? Would you give up your comforts, free time, and risk your financial security? Difference in doing business in the central EU and USA. What kind of personality you have to be in order to become an entrepreneur? In this episode we will discuss two very different worlds of entrepreneurship. When it comes to roasting and packaging, custom modifications are in the DNA of the company. Chromatic is well known for its variety of packaging designs. What is their secret? How can they have limited edition designs on their packaging? Hiver opens up about the benefits and efficiency of hot stamping and tells us about their modification on the hot stamping machine which helps them stay relevant. Our wide-ranging conversation answers such questions as where Chromatic get its coffee and why they offer robusta; tips on how to buy coffee Direct Trade, and whether coffee importers are your best friends or your foes. Hiver also has suggestions on where to get money for starting your coffee roasting business and what it means for your future ownership. Coffee Review scores were very helpful for Chromatic at the beginning. This customer-oriented service attracts plenty of controversy in the industry, but the truth is, these scores help customers to understand your product and will influence your sales. Finally, we discuss Chromatic's very interesting and engaging website reward program. Find out from Hiver whether this program has been worth the investment.

Founded in 2011 in Cleveland, Tennessee, Inman Coffee is a one-of-a-kind ministry of The Salvation Army that daily aims to reach and develop young persons for Christ. The idea for the coffeehouse sprung from a desire to create community, drawing on experience for both co-founders Joel and Cheryl Rogers, in operating in the coffee world and pairing that knowledge with a passion for empowering young people. In addition to striving for community and the real-world practicalities of launching a sustainable coffee business in Cleveland, the Rogers' found it important to create the environment while also ensuring that the coffee was grown and prepared in appropriate fashion. At Inman Coffee, the coffee itself is responsibly sourced and acquired via Direct Trade, with the clear aim to change lives around the globe. “The most important aspect of Inman Coffee is the impact it's had through inclusion and being the space where all belong, and everyone has a seat at the table.   On top of the delicious coffee, tea, and baked goods distributed at competitive prices, Inman Coffee also hosts musical shows that have helped to launch the careers of many renowned artists, both locally and nationally.   To learn more, visit https://inmancoffee.com/  

We surveyed you. You asked us for myth-busting (again). So myth-busting you shall get! But, this time, we are not just busting up confusing coffee conundrums; we are introducing a framework (“Ah-Key!”) that will help you bust coffee myths (and all the other misinformation that you will encounter). Now, let's get to kicking the nuts of those misleading myths.Did you perhaps have too many bevvies last Friday? Did someone offer you coffee to sober you up? If so, you may have indulged in a myth! Jools brings back friend-of-the-show research scientist and professor Dr. Danielle Gulick to share what she found from studying the effects of alcohol and caffeine. Ever spotted the coffee beans on the perfume counters at your favorite department store? Supposedly, sniffing them will clear your nasal palate. But is that true? Luckily, Scott has a new hobby: making perfume (bet you it smells like coffee). So he chatted with his perfumery professor, Sarah McCartney the founder of perfumery 4160Tuesdays. Finally, since putting out The Lie of Direct Trade episode, we have known that commodity coffee doesn't always help farmers make the most money. So, does that mean that specialty coffee helps farmers make more money? James speaks to former barista now coffee roaster Tim Wendelboe to clarify some deep misconceptions.

Do you know where your coffee is from? In 2022, "responsibly sourced" and "ethically purchased" are words used to reassure conscious coffee drinkers that they can feel good about their morning ritual. But is it that simple?Coffee passes through many hands to reach your cup, as small lot farmers simply don't have the capital or knowledge to distribute their coffee around the world. This is a reality not exclusive to coffee farming, but the rise of Direct Trade relationships between Australian coffee roasters and coffee farms and co-operatives abroad means there are new alternatives to the reliance on conventional coffee brokers and importers. But is this a good thing? How does it work, and how does a coffee roaster in Australia do the right thing when they purchase imported green beans?To find out, we are joined in this episode by our dear friend and green bean buying expert, Matt Muhl of Brightside Coffee, to get into the detail of how roasters here in Australia navigate this tricky space.Also in this episode, find out which Commonwealth Games event Aaron is most looking forward to, and we discuss who is the most famous Australian.​​A podcast for people who drink coffee ☕

The system works exactly the way it was designed to work...and it needs to be broken. This is the goal of a new model of coffee trade introduced by Andy and Nanelle Newbom through their company Torque Coffee.  Andy and Nanelle Newbom are life long coffee professionals who have been foundational in helping establish the standards for transparency and excellence we know today. With their iconic roastery and retail company Barefoot Coffee they helped pioneer Direct Trade, Andy was a founding member of the Barista Guild, and they both have been work in roasting / importing companies since then where they are consistently pursuing equity and systemic change for an industry who's distribution of value is drastically lopsided.  Recently they have launched a new model of trade based the idea of what they call "Proportional Pricing" with their company Torque Coffee.  In this model they seek to give to break the system and replace it with a framework that pays the farmer a set percentage of the coffee's retail value upfront. It really is a great idea and in today's conversation we will get the inside scoop on how this came about, how it works, and what you can do to adopt this model in your roastery.  We discuss: Iterating models to address the issues Leaching value from farmers Double standards The Torque model: Proportional Pricing Starting at the ceiling You don't have as many coffees as you think Building the system and relationships needed Taking the risk off the producer unintentional impacts on producer Play to pay sucks The practice of tracking all your costs   Links: www.torquecoffee.com Instagram @torquecoffees Related episodes: Sustainability Series #2 : Importing & Roasting 335: A Better Business Model for Coffee Farmers w/ Thaleon Tremain of Pachamama Coffee 328 : Relationships and Resiliency w/ Xavier Alexander of Metric Coffee 294 : At Origin Roasting Revolution w/ Luis Fernando, founder of Amor Perfecto! 288 : The Truth behind Cheap Coffee w/ Karl Weinhold Visit our amazing Sponsors! www.groundcontrol.coffee www.pacficfoodservice.com www.coffeefest.com

Have you ever noticed your daily caffeine fix tastes that little bit sweeter when you know the coffee has been ethically sourced?The term “direct trade” has cropped up all over the place in specialty coffee in recent years and, on the face of it, would seem to imply just that.But what does “direct trade” actually mean? And has anyone — let alone coffee farmers — really benefited from it?In the final episode of series 3, James takes Scott and Jools on a journey into how coffee actually gets traded. Chad Trewick from the Specialty Coffee Transaction Guide shares his first hand experience of being in the direct trade vanguard. Chris Kornman, author and Director of Education at The Crown, explains the rise of evangelists with the mantra of cutting out the middle men. And Erica Koss, co-author of the Specialty Coffee Association's sustainability course, reveals some of the limitations of the direct trade ideal.And, as a parting gift for the summer, James offers tips on how YOU can identify those roasters who are trying to do right by the farmer. —------What do you want to listen to in Series 4?

Founded in 2011 in Cleveland, Tennessee, Inman Coffee is a one-of-a-kind ministry of The Salvation Army that daily aims to reach and develop young persons for Christ. The idea for the coffeehouse sprung from a desire to create community, drawing on experience for both co-founders Joel and Cheryl Rogers, in operating in the coffee world and pairing that knowledge with a passion for empowering young people. The Rogers' found it important to create the environment while also ensuring that the coffee was grown and prepared in appropriate fashion. At Inman Coffee, the coffee itself is responsibly sourced and acquired via Direct Trade, with the clear aim to change lives around the globe. On top of the delicious coffee, tea, and baked goods distributed at competitive prices, Inman Coffee also hosts musical shows that have helped to launch the careers of many renowned artists, both locally and nationally.   To learn more, visit https://inmancoffee.com/

Wie fair ist direkt & warum ohne nicht immer besser ist Eine Folge aus „Kaffeehandel – Licht & Schatten“   Wer Zertifikate und fairer Handel sagt, der muss auch Direct Trade sagen. Diesen Begriff hat wohl jeder schon mal gehört, der sich mit Nachhaltigkeit auch im Handel beschäftigt. Es klingt auch alles so logisch, natürlich möchten wir, dass die Helden aus den Kaffeefeldern gut bezahlt werden für ihre glorreichen Taten. Da springt direkt das Gerechtigkeitszentrum im mitteleuropäischen Kopf an und sucht nach Lösungen und Schuldigen.   Gern als solche genommen, sind die Mittelsmänner in der Wertschöpfungskette. Also ist direct Trade oder der direkte Handel nur der logische nächste Schritt nach dem fairen Handel.   Du wirst es ahnen, so schön schwarz-weiß mit offensichtlicher Lösung ist das alles nicht. Warum das so ist, warum direct Trade nicht das gleiche ist wie direkter Handel und vor allem, was es überhaupt mit diesen ominösen bösen Mittelsmännern und -frauen auf sich hat, darum soll es heute gehen.   Viel Spaß beim Lesen und Hören.     Wenn dir gefällt was ich mache: steadyhq.com/einfachmalkaffee Shop: einfachmalkaffee.com/shop Web: einfachmalkaffee.com Instagram: @einfachmalkaffee Facebook: einfach mal Kaffee YouTube: einfach mal Kaffee Mail: horst@einfachmalkaffee.com Datenschutz und Impressum   Die Links aus der Folge findest du hier: einfach mal Kaffee Blog: einfachmalkaffee.com/kaffee-podcast/  

Spezialitätenkaffee aus dem Amazonasgebiet: Mit der direkten Zusammenarbeit ohne Zwischenhändler möchten die Gründer Yara und Franco erreichen, dass Kaffeebauern signifikant höhere Preise für ihre Produkte erhalten und auf diese Weise einen nachhaltigen Kaffeeanbau fördern. Der Name Dailima ist ein Wortspiel. Dilemma und Lima. In diesem Fall natürlich ein positives Dilemma. -Dailima achtet auf höchstmögliche Qualität, Genuss und einen sinnvollen Einsatz der Gewinne. -Und Lima: Geburtsstadt, Heimat, der Ort, an dem ihr Herz schlägt, und vor allem die Hauptstadt von einem Land mit weltklasse Kaffee.

Lets me real Direct Trade is a thing and we use it to help sell bags to get across why anyone should buy it. But people can buy it without visiting origin. And sometimes just visiting origin makes you realize how little of an effect you have and why it's important to not overstate or oversell.
