Our coffee podcast program The Coffee Sprudgecast returns with an episode fresh off the US Coffee Champs première partie at Klatch Coffee in Rancho Cucamonga. Over a sun-soaked Southern California weekend, the 2024 United States Barista Champion, Brewers Cup Champion, and Cup Tasters Champion were crowned. Sprudge co-founders and hosts Zachary Carlsen and Jordan Michelman talk through it with the delicious assist of Klatch Coffee's seasonal Songbird Blend. Host Zachary Carlsen had a conversation with a coffee enthusiast who held a strong belief that coffee blends were inherently bad. On the show, we discuss how blends like Songbird from Klatch Coffee (among several others!) are testaments to the delicious possibilities and flavor complexities specialty coffee blends can offer. How do you feel about coffee blends? Are your feelings about coffee blends true? Can you absolutely know that it's true? How do you react when you believe that thought? Who would you be without that thought? Remember, there are no right answers—these questions will hopefully lead you toward deeper inquiry. (h/t Byron Katie) A big thanks… This year's USBC/USBrC/CTC highlights the power of the coffee community. Competitors, judges, volunteers, and sponsors all worked together to showcase both the nation's top competitors and finest coffees, demonstrating extraordinary talent, dedication, and passion.

In the second episode of this two-part series, Kenneth and Daniel Teplitz of Klatch Coffee sit down together to deliver a pour-over masterclass. Daniel recently took 3rd place in the 2023 US Brewer's Cup Championship and shares the exact details of how he achieves the perfect pour - it's a pour technique you can easily use at home! For this episode they dive deeper into the subject of pour-over brewing, explaining what the bloom is and how to get it right. They also cover how to pour to activate the extraction process, channeling, continuous vs pulse pouring, and how to achieve even distribution of the water to create the best overall flavor profile. They also bust an interesting coffee-brewing myth! KEY TAKEAWAYS Allowing the right level of bloom to develop is essential for releasing CO2. If you do not release enough of it, you will not get a good extraction. Initially, you don't want to flood the bed, but at some point in the brew doing so can be necessary. Your brew time goal is going to vary depending on the kit and coffee you are using but always aim to hit that goal. Sometimes channeling can be helpful, but generally, you want to minimize it. Use a journal to identify what works and stick to it. Be consistent. You need 4 tools to achieve a good pour. During the episode, Daniel explains what they are and how to pick the best equipment. BEST MOMENTS ‘When you pour for that bloom, you don't want too much water there, so we're able to release the CO2. ´ ‘The darker your roast, the faster you can extract.' ‘A few years back, I started keeping a coffee journal.'

In the first episode of this two-part series Kenneth sits down with Daniel Teplitz of Klatch Coffee, who was awarded 3rd place in the 2023 US Brewer's Cup Championship, to provide you with a pour over masterclass. They discuss why the pour matters, what you are looking for, and how to avoid the mistakes most people make. They explain how to troubleshoot a range of taste and temperature issues. They also discuss the science and physics behind each of the pour tips and techniques that they share and the pour over myths they bust. KEY TAKEAWAYS Understand what the right amount of coffee for your brewer is and stick to that. Grind size has a significant impact on pour rate and flavor extraction. Daniel does not like to stir. He explains why that is during the episode. Under-extraction or over-extraction generally comes from either lack of agitation and/or water that is not at the right temperature. There are two ways to deal with a stalled brew, both of which are explained in full in the episode. How, when, and if you agitate impacts the temperature and taste. When using really fresh coffee, you are going to see more of a bloom. BEST MOMENTS ‘Figuring out coffee and troubleshooting is kind of what the Brewers Cup Competition is all about. ´ ‘Essentially, the more you agitate a coffee, the faster it extracts.' ‘I'm seeing people try all sorts of different blooms. The key to me is to keep it simple.'

In this episode Mike Perry from Klatch Coffee talks about Espresso. Klatch won multiple national and international awards for their espresso coffees so I asked if single origin or blend is the way to go. Mike talks also about techniques to develop an award winning espresso blend, roast profiles for espresso blends, the ideal espresso machine for startups, coffee business in Asia and much more! Enjoy!
In this episode, our guest is Mike Perry from Klatch Coffee who will share his over 20 years of experience in the coffee industry over the upcoming 3 episodes. Mike and his wife Cindy started Klatch in 1993, and have been honored with multiple prestigious national and international coffee awards. In the first episode Mike will talk about his coffee story and how bad coffee at the office and a lack of decent cafes for a date can lead to the start of a great coffee venture. The Klatch cafe came first, rather then roasting, and through the interview we'll learn how a cafe can be an amazing catalyst for a successful roastery. Mike will tell us one of those cool “how I found my roaster” stories, which can happen once every ten years. I have a few stories of my own, so if you haven't heard them, go ahead and listen to the previous episodes. Mike found a 24 kilo Diedrich, which initiated a debate about the ideal roaster size for a coffee startup. Mike will also discuss what the minimum load is on a 24 kilo roaster. Mike will tell us if roasting in a cafe in is a good idea or not, and point out the milestones as Klatch Roasting grew from selling a few hundred pounds in 1997 to 400,000 pounds today.
