On the latest episode of the Coffee Sprudgecast, Zachary Carlsen brews BlendIn Coffee Club's Colombia Los Nogales, the winning 2024 US Brewers Cup Championship coffee (which also happens to be their house decaf coffee!) Weihong Zhang of BlendIn Coffee Club in Houston, Texas, your 2024 United States Brewers Cup champion, took top honors in Rancho Cucamonga using a decaf Typica variety from Colombia, with a coffee he serves on bar every day. Pick up a bag of it online or in their cafe year-round. This is exactly what host Jordan Michelman did the evening Zhang was announced the 2024 champion! The decaf underwent a decaffeination process developed by Oscar Hernandez of Finca Los Nogales in Huila, Colombia. After de-pulping, the green coffee is then decaffeinated using, in part, its mucilage, which helps “[avoid] off flavors and [enhance] complexity with floral and fruity notes,” Zhang told Sprudge in an interview with Zac Cadwalader. Sprudge's coverage of the 2024 US Barista Championship in Rancho Cucamonga is presented in partnership with Third Wave Water.  Zachary Carlsen replicates the brew process deployed on the Brewers Cup stage as accurately as possible (with a slightly different hand grinder and variety of Hario V60—listen in to find out more). The process is especially interesting due to its use of two water temperatures and a touch of water bypass at the end.

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.

In this episode, Kenneth sits down with Taylor Minor from Third Wave Water to discuss why using the right water is the key to creating a better-tasting cup of coffee. Taylor explains why choosing the right water profile has such a big impact on the finished result. They cover the impact of water hardness, the relationship between water quality and equipment efficiency, and why different brews can benefit from different water profiles. KEY TAKEAWAYS A standard cup of drip coffee is about 98% water! Third Wave Water makes it easy for you to take filtered/de-mineralized water and turn it into water that contains the right mix of minerals to make that perfect cup of coffee. You can buy several types of bottled water, but not all of them are actually de-mineralized. Taylor explains the differences and which to buy. Using the right water reduces scaling. This ensures the equipment works as it should, which improves the taste. When making different styles of coffee, it is worth choosing the right water profile for each style. The type of water you use has a big impact on acidity and alkalinity. The pace at which the coffee brews will be impacted by the mineral profile of the water you use. BEST MOMENTS ‘Start at a neutral base, add our minerals and you are going to get a consistent cup, anywhere in the world.' ‘The meters to test it (water) are about $12-$15.' ‘If you have softened the water with salt, that causes the brewing to extend up to 50%.' ‘You don't want to brew coffee with toilet water.'  EPISODE RESOURCES Coffee Technology by Michael Silvetz - https://www.amazon.com/Coffee-Technology-Michael-Sivetz/dp/0870552694 GUEST RESOURCES https://thirdwavewater.com/ @thirdwavewater on Instagram, YouTube YouTube on Shark Tank and Third Wave Water - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPR-4OpNodc VALUABLE RESOURCES Award-winning single-origin specialty coffee: https://umblecoffee.com/ You're disciplined and high achieving.

In this episode, Kenneth sits down with Katie to continue to talk about the health benefits of coffee. This time the focus is on making coffee in a way that ensures that you get the maximum benefit from each and every cup. KEY TAKEAWAYS If coffee smells a little stale or the aroma is weak, the chances are it is not that fresh. Look for a roasted-on date. That is the best way to tell how fresh the coffee really is. Lighter roast coffee contains more antioxidants, so is generally healthier. For drip coffee, a 16/18 to 1 ratio of water to coffee is about right. Buy whole beans when you can, they degrade slower than ground coffee. The water you use is important, it makes up 91 to 95% of your cup. When you make coffee at home make sure it is around 195 to 205 Fahrenheit. BEST MOMENTS ‘Usually, the cups that taste the best black are the healthiest for you. ´ ‘If you're in a coffee shop, look and see if they are using a scoop. Are they using a scale when they're weighing out the beans, because that can make a difference in the quality.' ‘The higher the elevation, the denser the bean, and the higher the quality of coffee.'   EPISODE RESOURCES   Umble Healthy Coffee Calculator™️ - https://umblecoffee.com/calculator/ Third Wave Water - https://thirdwavewater.com/ SCA certified home brewers - https://sca.coffee/certified-home-brewer Coffee 101 episode about farm elevation - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-coffee-farm-elevation-impacts-cup-quality/id1616624229?i=1000563766427     VALUABLE RESOURCES Award-winning single-origin specialty coffee: https://umblecoffee.com/   You're disciplined and high achieving.

It's the 3rd Wave Everything episode! We were challenged by listener Eric to compare 3rd Wave Ska to 3rd Wave Coffee. For good measure, we thought we'd also throw in 3rd Wave Feminism because why not? So get out your surfboards because in this super fun extra long episode there's going to be a lot of waves!In our first segment, Steph covers the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd waves of feminism and the beginning of the 4th wave. Women have been working hard on behalf of ourselves for a long time and Steph breaks it all down for us, from pre-Civil War through the fights for trans rights today. That's a lot of changes in feminism.Next, Jenni gives us the history of ska, starting with the 1st wave in Jamaica, moving on to the 2nd wave in the UK, and ending in California for the 3rd wave of ska. Ska goes up and ska comes back down. We're here to ride its musical waves.Last, Marcus covers the three waves of coffee. 1st wave is all about getting coffee in the cheapest way possible (see our Chock Full o'Nuts episode to learn more.) Then during the 2nd wave we see Starbucks and the rise of the coffee shop. Now in this 3rd wave that we are living in it is all about the storytelling of coffee. For our coffee tasting, we compare coffee brewed with Third Wave Water, a mineral additive for distilled water, to award winning Aurora tap water. Who will win?

Water makes up 98% of your coffee. But most of us hardly ever talk about it. Instead we focus on the coffee bean, how it is grown, roasted, and brewed. But water can make a huge difference. Have you ever had this experience…you taste an amazing coffee in a coffee shop, buy the coffee to make at home and when you do it just doesn’t taste the same? Or maybe you can’t taste any of the floral or fruity flavors listed on the bag? Well, it could be the water! Third Wave Water has a solution. They have developed a package of minerals that you can add to distilled water to create the optimal water for brewing coffee. I was a skeptic at first but their product really does make coffee taste better. The difference in flavor was noticeable right away. In this conversation with co-founders Charles Nick and Taylor Minor we will discuss the importance of water for coffee brewing, the idea behind Third Wave Water, their business success including a successful Kickstarter campaign and appearance on Shark Tank, and most importantly how Third Wave Water can help you drink better tasting coffee.
