Kingdom ComeSeries: The Kingdom of God Preacher: Gwilym DaviesSunday MorningDate: 24th March 2024

The world of professional specialty coffee can be both inspiring and intimidating with many customers and new baristas feeling lost in the mix of rules, methods, and information. How can we create a great experience for guests and staff who all really want to enjoy coffee and find their place in it? Today we get to learn from the story of someone whose career in coffee took him from curious customer, to barista champion, and finally to teacher and business owner, all along the way finding his identity in coffee firmly rooted in providing the kind of hospitality that won him over at the start. Winston Thomas is 33 years old and grew up in the small suburb of Strand in Cape Town. He studied Civil Engineering at CPUT but developed an interest in coffee after reading a letter in his local newspaper of a woman complaining that there was no good coffee in Strand/Somerset West. This sparked his interest in coffee and during his studies he completed a barista course. This changed his whole perspective on coffee and after completing his National Diploma in 2014 decided to work in coffee full time. Since then he has managed to win the South African Aeropress Championship in 2016, the Western Cape Barista Championship for 2017, 2018 & 2020, the South African Barista Championship in 2017, 2018 & 2020 title as well as the Africa Barista Championship title for 2019. He now owns and runs a coffee training and consulting business called Winston Douglas Coffee and a Coffee Roastery Called Cedar Coffee Roasters.   In this episodes you will learn about: Winston's entry into coffee and how his engineering mind helped him discover higher levels Curiosity and a desire to understand how things work are valuable traits in the coffee industry. Barista competitions can provide opportunities for growth and learning, but it's important to maintain a sense of humility and not let success cloud one's perspective. Hospitality as a fundamental aspect of coffee service Why baristas should strive to create meaningful experiences for customers. Building confidence and finding one's identity in the industry  The blessing and burden of winning Avoid overemphasizing fame and titles in the industry How having control over the variables in coffee brewing enhances the hospitality experience. Creating an authentic coffee experience specific to a region or culture is a challenge worth pursuing. How disconnecting from social media can foster creativity and originality in coffee  Links: @cedarcoffeeroasters @winston_douglas www.cedarcoffeeroasters.com www.winstondouglascoffee.com   Related episodes:  290 : Making Connections in Central Africa w/ Keith White Jr of Paraiso Trading! 410 : A Conversation w/ 2023 U.S. Barista Champion, Isaiah Sheese of Archetype Coffee 119 : Barista Training Masterclass w/ 2009 WBC Champion, Gwilym Davies 282 : How to Listen to your Customers 430 : Embracing “Unreasonable Hospitality” w/ Will Guidara | Thank You NYC + The Welcome Conference 331 : The 7 Deadly Sins of my Career Hire Keys to the Shop Consulting to work with you 1:1 to transform your coffee shop operations, quality, and people.   Custom consulting for your unique business.

Training and education is an ongoing process. Not just for those we are training but also for ourselves as trainers and educators. If we adopt the same type of "always learning" mentality we want to see in other, then the way we understand and conduct training will change over time. Today we will be exploring training and education through the career journey of someone who has crafted several training systems in world class coffee bars and talk about what he has learned from the mistakes and successes along the way. I am thrilled to welcome to the show, Michael Phillips, of Blue Bottle Coffee!

In our conversation we cover: Highlights of his completion career The things that shaped his outlook on training When training ideals go too far  Importance of realistic and practical expectations How entrepreneurship helped set the stage for a new approach Shaping the training at Blue Bottle The 10/20/70 rule in training  Logistics of training across borders and cultures  Delegation / Centralized vs localized training Why training is a culture not an event  Choosing what to focus on and the limitation of one-on-one training  Calibrating your team and building something sustainable Creating a great cafe experience Links: Michael Phillips on Instagram @1shot4theroad  Blue bottle Coffee YouTube    Related Episodes: 296: Holistic Barista Training w/ David Castillo of Go Get Em Tiger , Los Angeles 191 : Retraining your Staff on new Standards 178 : Training Masterclass w/ Emma Haines of London School of Coffee and Caffeina Consulting 119 : Barista Training Masterclass w/ 2009 WBC Champion, Gwilym Davies     Visit our amazing Sponsors! www.prima-coffee.com/keys www.pacficfoodservice.com www.coffeefest.com

Hi, friends. A quick note before we get started: This is a re-release of an episode I did in November 2019, and features David Hu, former owner of The Peccary, a coffee shop in New Jersey. I wanted to re-release this episode for two reasons. One: David is an incredible resource, and I regularly turn to social media for his insights (you can follow him @the.david.hu). Second: I’m preparing a presentation on how to advocate for yourself at work as part of a coffee conference called High Density, hosted by The Barista League, and the topics raised in our conversation have informed much of my recent thinking. My talk focuses on the ways that baristas and other service workers can stand up for themselves, and learn about the laws and protections in place to safeguard their rights. As I’ve researched and prepared for it, I keep coming back to lessons that David shared in his episode, and I think it’s required listening for anyone who has ever held a leadership position. Essentially, he asks folks to step outside of themselves, be humble, and truly do good for the people around them. My talk is just one of the dozens of events, panels, and demonstrations happening at High Density, which is a free and 100% digital coffee conference like none other I’ve ever encountered. The conference takes place on March 9 and features an international program of speakers including Gwilym Davies, Kat Melheim, Freda Yuan, Lem Butler, and Vava Angwenyi. A number of folks who I’ve interviewed for Boss Barista are presenting, and I’m so excited to be part of this worldwide event. You can learn more by going to The Barista League’s website or by following them on Instagram. Before you jump into my conversation with David, know that we’ve changed up a few things at Boss Barista since we recorded this episode, so some things might sound a little different. Rest assured, though, that the content and lessons are more applicable now than ever. Here we go.

"I wish they would just get it!" Does this sound familiar? Whether you have said this out loud or just ruminate on this and similar ideas, the frustration is very real. In today's episode we will explore this thought that pits a quick learner against a slower one and why letting this attuned go unchecked may be holding your business back.  Interested it consulting?

We have written before about how good the Prague coffee scene is. There’s a few reasons why, but we did mention one specific contributing factor: the power duo of Petra Vesela and her UK-born husband, Gwilym Davies, who happens to be the 2009 World Barista Champion.They may have met under some interesting circumstances: we will just mention a death threat during a coffee competition, judges locked in the judges room… and a bottle of whiskey in the very same room, a leftover from an Irish coffee preparation before. For the rest of the story, you will just have to listen to the podcast. Anyway, Gwilym came over to see Petra in Jílové, a village near Prague, and the rest is history.Gwilym is an incredibly interesting guest to interview because…He is in a unique position to compare Prague and London coffee scenes (which we do a lot of in the podcast), since he owns a stake in Prufrock coffee in London but lives in PragueHe was one of the pioneers of the Third Wave Coffee revolution, having learnt the craft in New Zealand and brining it to Europe. He was right there with James Hoffmann and Scott Rao, the people who have helped define what a specialty coffee operation looks like.He and Petra own a barista training centre that will train anybody from the general public to baristas who are about to compete in the World Barista Championships. You always see Gwilym and Petra in a Prague coffee shop with a barista from Korea, Japan or Australia who flew over just to have their presentation fine tuned by Gwilym and Petra, who are both certified judges for high-profile barista championships and events.He is now also a roaster under The Naughty Dog label, taking on a different role in his never-ending quest and thirst for knowledge.As a result, Gwilym has helped cultivate and improve the coffee scene in Prague through his trainings and sheer presence, and has been a connecting link between Prague’s coffee culture and the rest of the coffee world. But as you will hear in the podcast, he has learnt a thing or two from Czech baristas, and brought some of that knowledge with him back to London and Prufrock Coffee.Finally, Gwilym is a super nice guy that is just a pleasure to talk to. We sat for about 40 minutes in Kafe Pragovka during the Czech Barista Championships, and despite the noise in the coffee shop and at the event (sorry about that!), we had an absolute blast talking to Gwilym.This is some of the things we discussed with Gwilym during the interview:What does he like about the Prague coffee scene.How does it compare to the London coffee scene.Does he feel a part of the Prague coffee scene, or London coffee scene? In terms of the clientele, the drinks, the quality of coffee, or the living standards of baristas?Is there anything specific about the Prague coffee scene?How long will he continue to judge barista competitions? Has he ever faced any threats as a judge?When was the last time he saw a presentation as a judge that was, well… different or surprising in any way?Does he ever plan to open a coffee shop in Prague or the Czech Republic?What does he miss from the UK?What are the things he would miss from the Czech Republic if he were to move back to the UK?There you have it. Hope it Enjoy the podcast!

Jak to vypadá, když se spojí dvojnásobná Mistrně České republiky v přípravě kávy, Mistr světa v přípravě kávy a dva jezevčíci?Vznikne zlobivá pražírna! The naughty dog. Petra & Gwilym mají na kontě nejen úspěchy na kávových soutěžích, ale také se jich často účastní coby porotci a to i na světových šampionátech. A pokud se chcete o kávě něco přiučit můžete k nim do Jílového vyrazit na kávový kurz.

Training baristas effectively is a hugely important task. When done well, it sets them up for long term success in the cafe and in their career. When done poorly, it leaves them without essential tools for understanding the nature of coffee and the work of a barista which leads to frustration and stagnation. If you want learn to excel as trainers then look no further because we have the privilege of talking with 2009 WBC Champion and barista trainer, Gwilym Davies! In this episode we talk about his hospitality based training, the evolution of training approaches over the years, why we should check our ego, needs vs. wants, how to structure your training sessions, preparing yourself to train others, and many other very helpful and practical insights that will help you become a great and effective trainer!

Gwilym Davies is the World Barista Champion 2009. He runs his training centre at Jílové u Prahy, a little town close to Prague, the Czech Republic. Even though his career as a competition barista lasted only three months, he has remained involved as a certified judge until this day. Gwilym is known as a pioneer […] The post Gwilym Davies: I Wanted To Be Good At Something appeared first on European Coffee Trip.

She has attended numerous courses in the industry, constantly sharpening her coffee mind and knowledge. Look up her podcast on Itunes, Adding some flavor, much like this podcast and many others, they are free and yours to use to extract as much knowledge as you can and go forth and use it on your own terms in the name of coffee love.

Some of the most popular episodes of this podcast were about opening a cafe with Gwilym Davies. I decided to go deeper into this topic with my virtual barista mentor, Devorah Freudiger, who helps open cafes for the rapidly growing San Francisco Bay Area brand Equator Coffees and Teas. Devorah will tell us what the main criteria should be for selecting a cafe location, what kind of businesses do you want as your neighbors, and answers the question whether it's good to have a big coffee chain in your neighborhood. Once you set up your location, you will need to hire baristas. What is more important, personality or skills? We will also discuss your favorite topic: what kind of espresso makers, grinders and technology to use in your cafe, and what Devorah considers the most important features when selecting these beasts. We will talk about the menu: are sweet drinks a good idea? How about drink sizes? What about non-coffee items, how do they improve your check average?

In this episode we will discuss roasting related topics with Gwilym Davies like our take on dark roasts, importance of solubility in lighter roasts for espresso. We will also discuss what is the specialty coffee industry’s market share and why it is so important to share and stick together if we want to succeed. We will also touch on problems with consistency during roasting. Gwilym thinks the problem is caused by the nature of the coffee roasters, which are notoricaly temperature unstable. I take a slightly different approach: I see the problem in the nature of the always-changing ingredient – coffee. We agree that we have to recognize this issue and we have to work with it in mind. What if a coffee roaster ruins a batch? We’ll give you a few tips on what to do with coffee that is not up to your standards. Speaking of standards, Gwilym will tell you how they define standards at Prufrock Cafe and how they can help you to stay in harmony with the expectations of your customers.

Did the last episode motivate you to start a coffee cart? It certainly made my brain tick. What is the next logical step after a coffee cart? More coffee carts? In this episode, Gwilym Davies will talk about synergy, starting a joint venture with a business that shares your values but is in a different industry. This was one of Gwilym’s stops on the way to opening his Prufrock Coffee. We will talk about the importance of passion when building your coffee business. We will try to avoid cliches. According to Gwilym, you might not need expensive equipment to start a cafe, all you need is to … DO IT. He reveals the example of a very successful cafe where customers were waiting in line for 45 minutes — and the cafe didn’t even have an espresso machine. There is much more in this episode, including why you should not copy existing businesses if you really want to succeed, how important the quality of your coffee is, and the ideal relationship between the cafe owner/barista and the roaster.

In this episode I will interview Gwilym Davies, who changed the coffee scene in London, won the 2009 World barista Championship, and, despite the fact that he trains the best baristas on the world and is a judge in the most prestigious barista competitions, once said that “espresso is disappointing”. In this episode, we will talk with Gwilym about his experience starting and running a coffee cart in London. Coffee carts are one of the best ways to get into the coffee business; they are very low risk and tons of fun. We will talk about the business versus creative side of a venture. A lot of us wanted to start a business because we love coffee, but is having a coffee business the same as working with coffee? Gwilym will reveal a risk factor for coffee roasters that cafe owners do not have and enjoy! You will hear from my voice that I got a brain freeze. He will tell you what made him start his coffee cart, how he found a partner in crime, how they built their business and run it on a very tight budget, and much more.
