Instead, Lee and Ian discuss why the industry appears more uncertain than ever about how quality should be taught, assessed and applied in commercial environments.The conversation explores the strengths of the legacy Q system, why a shared baseline still matters, and whether the industry missed an opportunity to create a more practical framework that could be adopted across the global coffee supply chain. Rather than debating politics, they focus on what businesses, educators and coffee professionals actually need from quality education today.Lee and Ian also discuss whether certificates alone have become overvalued, why employers ultimately look for critical thinking rather than credentials, and what meaningful sensory education should prepare people to do once they enter the workplace.This is a thoughtful discussion about education, standards, commercial reality and the future of developing coffee professionals.Connect with Ian Fretheim here:https://www.linkedin.com/in/ian-fretheim-31628323/ If you found this episode valuable, make sure you're subscribed to the podcast and follow along for the rest of this 5-part series. ***************************************About Map It Forward The Daily Coffee Pro is produced by Map It Forward, supporting coffee professionals globally across the supply chain.Website: https://mapitforward.coffeeMailing list: https://mapitforward.coffee/mailinglistPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/mapitforwardInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mapitforward.coffee/Contact: support@mapitforward.org

A guest who had recorded a five-part discussion about the rise of branded coffee producers asked for the episodes to be withdrawn shortly before publication.Rather than abandon the subject, podcast host Lee Safar uses this episode to examine the argument herself: has building a recognisable personal or farm brand become more important than building a responsible coffee business?Lee explores how producers, roasters, baristas and other coffee professionals have increasingly used visibility, competitions, public relations and social media to differentiate themselves. She traces part of this evolution through Panama's most prominent producer estates, whose global recognition helped create demand for highly exclusive coffees while giving select roasters a powerful point of differentiation.The success of estates including Hacienda La Esmeralda and the Lamastus family estates demonstrated that strong producer brands can create considerable value. But their success also established a model that many producers are now encouraged to emulate without necessarily having the capital, access, infrastructure or customer base required to make it work.Building an internationally recognised producer brand requires far more than producing excellent coffee. It can involve extensive travel, marketing, media exposure, relationship building and significant long-term investment. That makes the model inaccessible to most of the millions of coffee producers operating around the world.Lee also questions what happens when the same attention-based model is adopted by roasters and coffee professionals. A large audience may generate recognition, invitations and free products, but it does not automatically produce profitability or a commercially sustainable business.The episode examines whether the coffee industry has begun confusing visibility with value, revenue with success, and brand recognition with sound business fundamentals.The conclusion is not that producers or roasters should avoid building brands. A strong brand can be an important business asset. The problem begins when branding becomes the primary strategy rather than one component of a responsible business with a responsible pricing model.This episode asks the coffee industry to consider whether its obsession with exclusivity, recognition and high-profile coffees is building a sustainable future—or simply creating another business model that only works for a very small group at the top.Connect with Lee Safar here:https://www.linkedin.com/in/leesafar/ https://www.instagram.com/leesafar If you found this episode valuable, make sure you're subscribed to the podcast and follow along for the rest of this 5-part series. ***************************************About Map It Forward The Daily Coffee Pro is produced by Map It Forward, supporting coffee professionals globally across the supply chain.Website: https://mapitforward.coffeeMailing list: https://mapitforward.coffee/mailinglistPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/mapitforwardInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mapitforward.coffee/Contact: support@mapitforward.org

Sourcing green coffee is one of the most important parts of running a coffee roasting company. Although it may seem as simple as trying coffee and placing an order, there's a lot more going on and a lot of risk you're managing. In this episode, we reflect back on a few challenges we faced this year with green coffee and share what it's like dealing with hiccups in the supply chain.Pick up our coffee here: https://mirrorcoffeeroasters.com/Find us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mirrorcoffeeroasters/Mirror Coffee Roasters is a specialty coffee roaster located in Bellingham, WA
You roast the same coffee, same profile — and it tastes completely different. The culprit is often hiding in your green coffee beans: moisture content and water activity. In this episode, Ingo from Roast Rebels breaks down what these two parameters mean, why they matter for green coffee quality and food safety, and how they directly shape your roast.What you'll learn:▸ Moisture content should sit between 10–12%. Below 8–9%: quality risk (hay, baked notes, fast aging). Above 12–13%: health risk from mold and bacteria.▸ Water activity measures how freely water is bound in the bean (scale 0–1). SCA defines specialty coffee as below 0.7. Best practice: 0.5–0.6. Above 0.78: high microbial risk.▸ Higher moisture = more energy needed in the drying phase. Lower moisture = faster drying, more careful heat management required.▸ Proper packaging (GrainPro or Ecotact inside burlap) protects both parameters during storage and transport.▸ Water activity has been underused in roasting due to expensive equipment — affordable tools are now changing this fast.▸ Roast Rebels measures moisture content, density, and water activity on every green coffee delivery. Coffee at 13.5% moisture has been rejected.Links & ResourcesGreen Coffee – A Guide for Roasters and BuyersMeasuring Devices at Roast RebelsRoast Rebels Academy – Online Courses for Home & Pro RoastersRoast Rebels ShopAbout Roast RebelsRoast Rebels is Europe's go-to platform for specialty coffee roasting.

Cat & Cloud Podcast Cat & Cloud Coffee www.catandcloud.com/ From Soil to Service Part 1: Inside the World of Green Coffee - Ep# 449 In this episode of the Cat & Cloud Podcast, Chris Baca and Casey Ryan sit down with Director of Coffee Dulce Venancio to explore the journey of coffee “from soil to service.” Dulce shares how her background in agriculture, her connection to producers in Mexico and Central America, and her growth within Cat & Cloud led her into green coffee buying. The conversation dives into how coffee is sourced, how relationships with producers and importers are built, the realities of the global coffee supply chain, and the intentional work behind selecting coffees that reflect Cat & Cloud's values. Along the way, they discuss cupping, flavor development, competition culture, mentorship, and the importance of consistency, transparency, and community throughout every step of the coffee process.

Episode 82: Can you tell the difference between a Colombian washed and an Ethiopian natural just by looking at the unroasted beans? In this episode, we answer a listener's question about identifying coffee origins and processing methods by what we can glean from the green coffee beans themselves! Catherine and Stephen share useful tips on what to look for when examining green coffee beans, including: Visual Identification Tips: ✅ Size & Shape: Small beans (Yemeni, Ethiopian) vs. large beans (Kenyan AA, Indian Mysore Nuggets) ✅ Color Indicators: Processing methods leave distinct visual signatures (natural process = darker/reddish tones) ✅ Density Differences: Feel the weight - Monsoon Malabar vs. dense high-altitude beans ✅ Peaberries: Recognize the unique oval/tubular shape vs. traditional flat-sided beans ✅ Moisture & Sheen: What the surface tells you about freshness and processing Pro Tip: Create your own reference collection! Save 10 beans from each coffee in labeled Ziploc bags to build a visual comparison library.

Whether it started purely as a quest for efficiency, or as a way to achieve consistency in a blend, pre-blending green coffee is a pretty staple practice for coffee roasters. The alternative, and perhaps original way of blending is the classic post-roast blend whose adherents tout its ability to give them ulitmate control of each coffee and thus better quality. Whether you do one or both of these methods of blending in your roastery, it always helps to explore the why behind them, and talk about the possible benefits and drawbacks of each. To help us understand this more I am thrilled to bring on to the show roasting educator extraordinaire and founder of Relative Coffee Co., Bryant Banker-Scannell! Bryant has helped launch the coffee careers of hundreds of new roasters through his work as lead roasting instructor and the heart of the in-house roastery at Mill City Roasters®. He also owns and operates Relative Coffee Co. which combines his passion of roasting, design, and photography to create a fun and tasty coffee brand. Based in Minneapolis, Bryant has worked in cafe and roasting positions since 2011. With over a decade of roasting experience, he believes coffee should be approachable, fun, and unique to your experience in the industry. We discuss: Bryant's Beginning in Coffee Education Based in Reality The Art and Science of Coffee Roasting The State of Blending Coffee Omni-Roasting vs. Individual Characteristics Pre-Blending vs. Post-Roast Blending The importance of Quality Balanced with Efficiency The Importance of Heat Management in Roasting Post-Roast Blending: Advantages and Considerations Links: www.relativecoffeeco.com Instagram: @relativecoffeeco Related episodes: ROR #24 : Perspectives on Roasting for Espresso w/ Jaroslav Tuček of Doubleshot, Czech Republic RoR #5: Time and Color in Roasting w/ Morten Munchow of Coffee Mind” ROR #8 How Post-Harvest Processing Impacts Flavor w/ Siva Subramanian and Byron Holcomb of Olam Food Ingredients RoR #4: Practical Thermal Dynamics w/ Candice Madison of Royal Coffee / The Crown Oak Our Sponsor for Rate of Rise! www.millcityroasters.com

On my visit to Burundi this year, I sat with Dan Brose of Migoti Coffee. Dan and his partner Poncien built this station some years ago, and it all didn't go exactly as planned. With some bumps along the way, this main station in Mutambu district is becoming a hub, with a new station starting in Kimono and another planned for next year. But what I really appreciate is Dan's deep experience in Burundi, and how his background in chemical engineering and other work informs the Migoti approach to coffee. And though I find Dan eloquent and with vast experience, the words you see him repeat over and over are teamwork, partnership and community. Taking a look at Migoti's instagram and you will scroll a long time before you find a picture of Dan. The emphasis is on the work, on the group effort, and the goal of building a sustainable business that builds up the local community. With Migoti these are not a heap of buzzwords … they are how they operate. It's a real pleasure to speak with Dan at the main station, and you will hear birds, people picking coffee in the background, and later the rush of water as they start the flow through the coffee washing channels. This is not a slick recording in any sense! In fact there are zero edits after the first minute. I encourage you to stay with this conversation because I feel the best stuff comes at the end! -Tom You can see all our podcast episodes listed on our Coffee Library page.

Summary On this episode of Startup Junkies, hosts Caleb Talley, Jeff Amerine, and Daniel Koonce dive into the world of specialty coffee with Jon Allen, co-founder and creative director of Onyx Coffee Lab. Founded in 2012 with the mantra “Never Settle for Good Enough,” Onyx has built an award-winning team of roasters that ship freshly roasted coffee worldwide and serve unique brews in four locations across Northwest Arkansas. Jon's, and his wife and fellow co-founder, Andrea's, commitment to exceptional coffee led them to a method they call relationship coffee, meaning that for seventy percent of the coffee they import, they visit the farms where it is grown and pay the producers directly. This approach allows them to establish their standards for coffee quality and ensures transparency with Onyx Coffee Lab consumers because they share detailed purchase information on Onyx's website. Visitors can see the price paid to the producer, the market commodity price at the time of purchase, the fair trade price, the import costs, and the individuals involved in bringing the coffee to the United States. Throughout the episode, Jon discusses Onyx's unique approach to sourcing, roasting, and distributing high-quality coffee, which includes transparency in pricing, traceability to the farmers, and a deep respect for the coffee's origin. He also shares insights into the industry's evolution, the growing demand for specialty coffee worldwide, and the importance of supporting sustainable practices at the source. This conversation offers a glimpse into the passion, dedication, and innovation driving the craft coffee movement that has taken off in Northwest Arkansas.

One Evanston man searched high and low for green coffee beans since he moved to the city from Seattle. He wanted to find them because he likes to roast at home — a method preferred by some coffee lovers because it can be cheaper, tasty and provides more control over the brew. One of our producers lent a hand. Along the way, Reset learned about the joys of at-home roasting. Do you have a Chicago-area question Reset could help you find an answer to?
