Elizabeth Furth has been a Roaster for around 12 years and is the Head Roaster at Chimney Fire Coffee. A passionate coffee blogger and roaster, Elizabeth's coffee journey started in 2011 when her brother set up a speciality coffee roasting business in Vienna. In an industry where women only make up 24.2%, Chimney Fire Coffee has a 50/50 split between male and female employees in top roles at the company and has 100% female roasters. This International Women's Day, with equity being the focus, Elizabeth is an interesting person to hear from on how companies can embrace equity the right way and how she has been able to thrive in an environment that is heavily male dominated. -- Today's episode was made possible by Voice Magazine, an online platform for young people interested in art and culture.

Back in 2018 at a Coffee Fest in Baltimore I had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing Stephen Zinnerman, owner and founder of (along with his wife Natasha) The Coffee Enthusiast: A Brewing Company (TCE). Back when we first met on the show floor, he was just starting TCE and since then they have experienced A LOT of growth both in their family and in the business, especially on the roasting side. Through the challenges, late nights, iterations, and lots of giving and receiving from the specialty coffee community TCE has emerged as a known and established industry presence that promotes connection and great coffee experiences. On top of running TCE Stephen has recently joined the roasting team at Counter Culture Coffee and is also a board member of The Coffee Coalition for Racial Equity Stephen's background outside of coffee is higher education, where he has worked for over 10 years in different areas, from University Housing to Environmental Research & Education. He is a graduate student, studying Environmental Policy & Management with a concentration in Environmental Sustainability. Stephen is one of the most dedicated, hardworking, and (not surprisingly) enthusiastic people you can meet and it has been a pleasure to follow his progress over the years and now to get to have this conversation exploring his journey 3 years later. In this interview we discuss: Starting small and getting feedback Beginning to focus on roasting Learning to listen and serve Creating something to give his kids Continuing to learn and invest in yourself Taking action as an individual Showing appreciation Taking on a commercial coffee roasting position while running TCE The hard work of commercial roasting Advice on how to learn and grow Links: www.tcecoffee.com TCE on Instagram Related Episodes: 079 : Interviews from Coffee Fest Baltimore (First interview w/ Stephen) 149 : Celina Velez, Head Roaster of Merit Coffee in Austin, TX 180 : A Conversation with Rugid Grind Founders, Brian Washington and Averett Barksdale Blog: Who we are and What we do 233 : A Conversation w/ Anthony Ragler, Black and White 232 : Founder Friday w/ Blew Kind of Fanny Lou's Porch Visit our amazing Sponsors! www.prima-coffee.com/keys www.pacficfoodservice.com www.coffeefest.com

RUN In this run segment, we talk to America’s Coach Jeff Galloway about tips for the current situation many of us find ourselves in as runners. He talks about how to stay positive and resources to keep us going and help in this stressful time. We are so grateful that he took the time to speak with us. You can find his timer and books as well as other resources he discussed at www.jeffgalloway.com. If you have training or running questions for him, send them to jfg@jeffgalloway.com. Jeff asked us if we wouldn't mind sharing this. Here is a link to the website that Dr. Ruth Parker, his medical advisor from Emory University, sent to Jeff if anyone has concerns that they may need to be tested for the Corona Virus: https://c19check.com/start Dr. Parker’s explanation of the website: “This COVID-19 self-screening tool has been released for free, public use. My health educator colleague, Kara Jacobson, and I did the ‘health literacy’ review of its content, building on work we did with this team years ago during the H1N1 epidemic. Its content is based on the best-available evidence, and the team that worked to develop it is excellent (the tech for its support was donated by a great tech start-up). Its purpose is to help people check symptoms (on a smartphone) to see if they need to go to the ER….hoping to keep folks out who do not need to be there.” Jeff also talked about looking forward to virtual races now and fall races as a way to stay motivated. He mentioned three fun race weekends in particular that he has been to in the past or is planning on going to again this fall. You can check them out here: Virtual Race Still Open for Northside Hospital Orthopedic Institute Half Marathon Powered by Jeff Galloway and Barb’s 5K Anchorage Runfest - August 2020 Cannonball Marathon Weekend - October 2020 Des Moines Marathon Weekend - October 2020 EAT We have been cooking from The Healthspan Solution by Ray Cronise and Julieanna Hever. This week we feature one of our favorites from the book, Lemon Tahini Broccoli Slaw. It is substantial and filling with chickpeas and has a satisfying smoky flavor with sun-dried tomatoes. There are so many textures in this salad and the lemon adds a tang that is very pleasing to the palate. We talk about the book and how it has supported our weight loss and fitness endeavors. This is only the first of several recipes we will share from the book in the coming weeks. You can get the hardback version of the book here or the Kindle version by clicking here.

A few weeks ago, I was staying in Paris with my friend, Mihaela Iordache, Head Roaster for Belleville Coffee. Originally from Romania, Mihaela came to Paris to pursue music, and is now one of the most distinguished, disciplined, and talented coffee pros in the game. After dinner and drinks one night, we decided to have a conversation about coffee, knowing ourselves, and the things you only talk about late at night over a few glasses of wine. These are the types of conversations I live for—intimate, funny, and personal, and I hope you enjoy listening to it.
Join us in our newest episode of Angels' Cup Coffee Hunters podcast where we talk about coffee, taste and everything in between. Today we are talking to Spencer Aidukaits from Peixoto Coffee Roasters and Ken Selby, 2018 US Cup Tasters Champion. We learn about how Spencer and Ken both got started in the coffee industry, who has influenced them along the way, how they prepare for a tasting competition, ways to meet more coffee friends and develop relationships in the industry and what is next for both of them. Want to follow along after the episode? Follow Ken on Instagram @calumnious.human and Spencer @spencer.aidukaitis. Favorite Quotes: "Starbucks was definitely just the job we were working at. It was definitely the start to everything. So where I started at, they actually for a little bit had the manual machines but segued out immediately after. So, I got a taste off it and then stopped and it wasn't until I moved to Houston that I actually started working with semi-automatic machines and actually figuring out how to dial in espresso and brewing coffee better." "It's been wild. A lot of it feels like I'm a business owner. We're thinking of like, what to do next, all the time. When we first started, we were all kinda clueless about specialty coffee. It was all of our beginning. So, we've been really just growing together and just try to do the best we can." "There is such a wide swath of descriptive terms that are borderline synonymous but then sometimes very different from what it would taste like and I think that you would get bogged down if you were like, 'Oh, I'm looking for a tangerine flavor because that's what the first coffee gave me.' So when I actually taste it, I work by the finish." The post 2018 US Cup Tasters Champion & Peixoto Head Roaster – Live! appeared first on Angels' Cup.
Welcome to Episode 2 of Coffee People. In this episode we sit down with Nick Brown to discuss Parkville Coffee. Nick is young in the roasting game, but makes some amazing coffee. Thankful we got to share his story.
Mike Mazulo joins us in the first official episode of Coffee People. Mike is the head Roaster at PT's Coffee Roasting Company. It was great to hang out with Mike and hear his story. Make sure and check him and the PT's team out at https://www.ptscoffee.com Thank you for listening!
For many of us coffee is one of the most consistent, maybe even sacred rituals we have. Yet I would argue it’s a ritual we largely take for granted. How much do we really know about our coffee and our preferences? Ed Moffatt, Director and Head Roaster of Common Room Roasters breaks it all down. Don’t know what a nitro coffee or flat white is? Do you know the difference between washed and unwashed beans? Did you even know that was a ’Thing’?! Whether you’re a high brow coffee snob, or a casual caffeine consumer there’s something for everyone. Ed gives us a ‘Crop to Cup’ summary of all things coffee. We’ll hear his insights on growing regions, flavor profiles, roasting and a bunch of tricks on home brewing techniques. Sit back, grab a cup and enjoy!
For those of you joining us primarily from the interwebs, our June releases may seem to be the last portion of a recent (inadvertent) series of talks, interviews, and discussions which deep dive into “green buying”. In reality, the panel discussions we’ll be sharing this week and a fortnight from today were the first that we organised and presented to a live audience as the second day of afternoon lectures at the first-ever Roaster Guild of Europe Camp last October. Featuring a panel of Raphael Studer (Algrano), Sara Morrocchi (Vuna Origin Consulting), and Joanna Alm (Drop Coffee Roasters), Steve lead an open discussion that sought to pick through the ethical considerations at play when purchasing green coffee for a specialty coffee business, from a high level (origin country politics, human rights, climate change) to the farm level (wages/treatment of staff, the use of the “premium”, relationships and trust) and everything in between. Together, they share stories of unethical or questionably ethical purchasing and follow up with some actionable suggestions for those who wish to aim for a more ethical purchase. As we prepared for this panel, the importance of a story – and its subsequent verification – appeared again and again in the context of coffee purchase, both green and brewed forms. To put this idea to the test, we asked the audience assess coffees once split into two groups: those assessing blind and those provided with information and backstory. Things didn’t quite go to plan logistically on a number of levels, so we 100% would not advocate these results to be indicative of correlation – let alone causation! In fact, we're pretty sure that these are nothing but some numbers on a page, but we promised to release the data. Either way, we hope it provides you with some food for thought as you make your own buying decisions. --- PHOTO BY JORDAN SANCHEZ FOR ROASTER GUILD OF EUROPE Joanna Alm | Drop CoffeeJoanna Alm is from Dalarna in the north of Sweden. She ran a coffee bar in Oslo for a few years, moved home to Sweden, and started working at Drop in 2010. A few years ago, Joanna became partner in the company and is now the CEO, head roaster, and green coffee buyer at Drop Coffee. She’s a three-time winner of the Swedish Roasting Championship (2014-2016) who has placed consistently in the final four at the World Roasting Championships during her time as Swedish Champion. Joanna is also known for her passion for coffee education and community, participating as a speaker, panellist, lecturer, and attendee at coffee events worldwide both as Drop Coffee’s Head Roaster and as a working group member of the Roaster Guild of Europe. Sara Morrocchi | Vuna Origin ConsultingBorn in Italy and educated in the UK, Sara found her path in the specialty coffee sector in various roles since 2007. A social scientist by training, she began working as a development worker in Kenya in early 2000s, and started to grow an interest in ways to grow and strengthen rural supply chains in East Africa. She began working as East Africa supply chain manager for Sustainable Harvest in 2007. This role would keep her working in Tanzania for the next four years. Later, she moved to headquarters in Portland, OR heading up the Global Procurement and Supply Chain management team for 4 years. Sara has recently moved to Amsterdam to start her Vuna Origin Consulting, specialized in supply chain strategies and product development in green coffee and cacao. The perfect mix of origin travel, suppliers’ relationships and tropical products makes her work extremely exciting. She is passionate about creating long-term sustainable solutions to empower and incentivize supply chain actors in collaborative ways. Raphael Studer | AlgranoRaphael Studer is a Swiss economist and entrepreneur. During his PhD Raphael researched the statistical measurement and modelling of human well-being. He has working experience in the fields of international business development, sustainability consulting and energy trading. Two years ago, Raphael co-founded algrano.com, the B2B online marketplace for green speciality coffee. algrano allows access to roasters and producers only and brokers logistic, financial and quality services on a cost plus margin basis transparently. algrano was awarded by the Startup Brasil and Startup Chile programs, as well as by the SCAE. Raphael lived in the Brazilian coffee fields and met producers and roasters all over the world. He understands the chances, wishes, but also problems of the new generation of coffee producers. Motivated by the vision that efficient and scalable tools of communication will transform agricultural supply chains, Raphael focuses today on the spread of algrano.

Third-wave coffee has arrived in Salt Lake City, and it shows no signs of slowing down. With a focus on local roasting, high-quality beans, and deep and layered flavor, coffee has become more than a reheated pot of Folgers. One of the most prominent leaders for the third wave coffee revolution is Publik Coffee. The word “Publik” is derived from the Dutch word “Community,” and the feeling of community can be found in every chair, barista, and warm piece of toast. Publik's dedication to creating a community for coffee lovers of all backgrounds has led to an accelerated expansion into The Avenues and Ninth & Ninth.On this episode of The Utah Foodie, we sit down with Alicia Pacheco, Head Chef of Publik Kitchen, Dylan Sands, Director of Coffee, and Ryan Gee, the Head Roaster of Publik Coffee Roasters. These three have helped execute the mission and vision of Missy Greis, who opened Publik's doors in 2014. Their commitment to the community extends further than just providing a space for people to gather and collaborate. With a dedication to green energy, local partnerships, and creating a lasting relationship with established neighborhoods.Join us as we sit down with Alicia, Dylan, and Gee, and get an inside look into the history of Publik Coffee Roasters! —This episode was sponsored by…90.9FM KRCL — Community Connection and Music DiscoveryVive Juicery — A Utah-based cold-pressed juiceryThe Chocolate Conspiracy — A project in pure, raw, honey-sweetened chocolate.Blue Copper Coffee — Specialty coffee hand-roasted in Salt Lake City, with a coffee room at 179 W 900 S.The Yelp Elite Squad — Utah's five-star fan club of all things local.—This episode of The Utah Foodie was hosted by Chase Murdock and produced by Ryan Samanka.
