Squirrels aren’t a particularly exotic animal. The fluffy rodents are native to 49 out of 50 states. But there’s something that makes Michigan’s squirrels a little different–and it’s their color. Research suggests the state is part of a kind of Great Lakes “black squirrel belt.” On this episode of On Hand, we go looking for black squirrels–and talk to an evolutionary biologist about why Michigan has so many. (Tile photo by Corey Seeman. Check out more of Corey's black squirrel photos here.)

We talk about Lithium-ion batteries on aircraft with the president and chief executive officer of UL Standards & Engagement. In the news this episode, we have some recent Lithium-ion battery issues on commercial flights, the A320-family corruption of flight data due to solar activity, and network-based location trackers for checked bags. Guest Jeff Marootian is the president and chief executive officer of UL Standards & Engagement (ULSE), a nonprofit safety advocacy organization. Jeff leads global efforts to advance safety and sustainability through standards development and advocacy. He is also a leading authority on rechargeable batteries and travel safety. ULSE has developed a new campaign to raise awareness of the fire risks associated with rechargeable devices in aviation at A Simple Step for a Safer Flight. It provides good information for people planning to travel. Jeff explains that Lithium-ion battery incidents are rare, but their frequency is increasing in airports and in the air. ULSE advocates for keeping rechargeable devices within arm's reach, and certainly not in checked baggage. We look at Lithium-ion thermal runaway, and Jeff tells us that it often results from batteries that are damaged, poorly constructed, or lack certification to a safety standard. Other topics we cover include the use of containment devices on airplanes, the need for a consensus process to deal with devices that are smoking or on fire, and how a coalition of stakeholders is working to address these concerns. Jeff also tells us what to look for when making a decision to purchase a rechargeable device. For more, see: Lithium-Ion Battery Incidents in Aviation: 2024 Data Review. Previously, Jeff led the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy at the U.S. Department of Energy, following roles as Senior Advisor to Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm and as a Special Assistant to the President in the Biden-Harris White House. Aviation News Eight People Rushed To Hospital After Smoking Battery Pack Fills Airplane Cabin With Toxic Fumes While passengers were boarding a Scandinavian airline SAS A320 at Norway's Oslo Airport, smoke started pouring out of a portable battery pack in a passenger's bag, filling the cabin with toxic smoke. The crew used a Halon fire extinguisher on the bag and removed it from the plane, then transferred it to the tarmac, where the airport fire brigade took over. The battery pack did relight before it was contained. Eight people were taken to the hospital with suspected toxic smoke inhalation, and all were discharged within 48 hours. United Flight Diverts to Dublin After Another Laptop Falls Into Business Class Seat A passenger’s laptop computer became trapped in the business class seat on United Airlines Flight UA925 flight from London to Washington. The plane was forced to make an unscheduled landing in Dublin. Solar flare vulnerability in A320 software forces emergency action by airlines In a recent press release, (Airbus update on A320 Family precautionary fleet action), Airbus said, “Analysis of a recent event involving an A320 Family aircraft has revealed that intense solar radiation may corrupt data critical to the functioning of flight controls.” Airbus consequently identified a significant number of A320 Family aircraft currently in service that may be impacted. The “recent event” was the uncommanded drop in altitude by a JetBlue A320 on October 30, 2025 that resulted in injuries and an emergency landing. Airbus says that “The subsequent investigation [After the incident] identified a vulnerability with the ELAC B hardware fitted with software L104 in case of exposure to solar flares. This identified vulnerability could lead in the worst case scenario to an uncommanded elevator movement that may result in exceeding the aircraft structural capability.” Airlines are instructed, according to The Air Current, “to either roll back to an earlier version of the software or replace the affected elevator aileron computer (ELAC) hardware with one containing the older software version. The maintenance action is expected to take three hours, according to the Airbus advisory.” AirTag's newest feature could work even better now for many travelers The Apple AirTag is useful for tracking the location of objects. There are other Bluetooth and network-based trackers available from Tile, Samsung, Chipolo, and other manufacturers. Air travelers use these trackers to locate their lost luggage. Last year, Apple introduced a “Share Item Location” feature. With the latest upgrade, you can share an AirTag's location with select airlines, allowing them to locate your luggage quickly. The AirTag API enables the seamless flow of detailed location information directly into an airline's backend. Apple and Delta have developed a tool that airlines can use.

And we are back with the second part of our exploration of common barista myths! I have to say, the main point for both the owner and barista episodes is to encourage everyone to exercise a patience, humility, curiosity, and a sense that there may be more to a story that what we initially see. The culture of coffee shops is shaped on aspirations and passion, but also on assumptions that can damage, hold back, and make toxic an otherwise promising career or cafe. So with all that said I want to cover another set of myths that baristas (ie: future managers, owners, trainers etc) believe and what might be a better way to address what the myth is based on. We cover: Don't expect much from your boss We will cover: Don't expect much from your boss Gatekeeping is always negative Being a barista is my only option to work in coffee My standing in the community is my significance as a professional If I am not happy it is the business fault My work as a barista doe not make a difference Links: 570: Myths Baristas Believe Part 1 556: Myths Coffee Shop Owners Believe Part 1 559: Myths Coffee Shop Owners Believe Part 2 SHIFT BREAK!

Am avut onoarea să stau de vorbă cu Martin Strel, supranumit „Omul-Pește”, un înotător legendar care a reușit să traverseze râuri mamut, cum ar fi Amazonul și Dunărea. Ne-a povestit despre provocările incredibile pe care le-a întâmpinat, de la ape pline de piranha până la forța copleșitoare a naturii și a tornadelor. Martin ne-a arătat că nu e vorba doar de forță fizică, ci mai ales de o conexiune profundă cu mediul înconjurător și o disciplină de fier. Este un om care a învățat să-și asculte corpul și să-și depășească limitele într-un mod pe care puțini și-l pot imagina.Discuția este o lecție despre perseverență, despre curaj și despre cum să te ridici de fiecare dată, indiferent de obstacole. Mai mult decât atât, am vorbit și despre proiectele sale umanitare, prin care își folosește notorietatea pentru a sprijini cauze importante. Martin Strel este o dovadă vie că, atâta timp cât crezi în tine și în ceea ce faci, imposibilul devine doar un cuvânt. Ascultă acest episod și lasă-te inspirat de povestea unui om care a înotat împotriva curentului, la propriu! IGDLCC înseamnă Informații Gratis despre Lucruri care Costă! Totul ne costă dar mai ales timpul așa că am făcut această serie pentru a mă informa și educa alături de invitați din domeniile mele de interes. Te invit alături de mine în această călătorie. Mi-am propus să mă facă mai informat și mai adaptat la schimbările care vin. Sper să o facă și pentru tine.

Water for coffee. This is the biggest area of quality control focus that we must always monitor and check to provide constantly excellent coffee. Learning about water can come from various sources and for many busy operators it is tempting to learn a couple things and use that knowledge forever vs continually learning and gaining just as thorough an understanding of water as you do with coffee.  Thankfully we have a resource like the book Water for Coffee that has been created and is now in production of the 2nd edition! Today we talk with returning guest and co-author of Water for Coffee, Maxwell Dashwood! We will cover: The background and evolution of the book "Water for Coffee" What has changed in the upcoming new edition "Built water" is great, but not always Water's role in affecting coffee flavor How mineral salts change coffee taste The case for natural water offering more complexity Why different waters are required for different methods of extraction  The need to open ourselves to the nuances vs dogma Links: Get the new book: Water For Coffee https://www.instagram.com/mcolonnadashwood/     Click here to register for our new webinar!  "The Keys to the Shop: Principles for Cafe Success"     KEYS TO THE SHOP ALSO OFFERS 1:1 CONSULTING AND COACHING!

In my live workshops with owners and teams, coaching calls with clients, and even in interviews here on the show run into many go-to habits that are replacements for healthy leadership. Today we are going to be discussing a few of these mindsets and habits that can easily be a sort of counterfeit for the real deal. The real nefarious thing about each of theses habits is the confirmation bias that makes them habits in the first place. It is my hope that, if you are practicing these things , you get to step away and see clearly the pattern and replace them with the genuine article.  We cover: Worry Doubt Toxic grace People pleasing Indecision Rushing Dictating Related episodes: Encore Episode : 6 Truths about Power Empowering Staff to make the right Call 074 : The Life Changing Power of Good Authority w/ Jonathan Raymond Toxic Vulnerability : Barista care, leadership, vulnerability, thoughtful management, coffee culture, coffee family , professionalism When Patience is not a Virtue Why You Need to Back up Your Policies 184 : Making Great Business Decisions w/ Dave Stachowiak   Click ere to register for our new webinar!  "The Keys to the Shop: Principles for Cafe Success"     KEYS TO THE SHOP ALSO OFFERS 1:1 CONSULTING AND COACHING!

Wo habe ich meinen Schlüssel hingelegt? Wer hat gerade die Fahrzeugpapiere? Wo streunt der Hund herum? Ist der Koffer beim Umsteigen im Flieger mitgekommen? Wie finde ich Kamera oder Fahrrad nach einem Diebstahl wieder? Aus diesen und noch mehr Gründen mag man Gegenstände oder Haustiere mit einem Tracker ausstatten, dessen Position man übers Smartphone abfragen kann. Im Podcast sprechen wir mit den c't-Redakteuren Stefan Porteck und Dusan Zivadinovic über Bluetooth- und GPS-Tracker. GPS-Tracker ermitteln ihre Position per Satellit und müssten eigentlich GNSS-Tracker heißen, weil sie außer GPS- auch Glonass-, Galileo- und Beidou-Satelliten empfangen. Sie melden ihre Position per Mobilfunk, brauchen dafür viel Strom und erzeugen monatliche Gebühren. Bluetooth-Tracker hingegen, auch BLE-Tags genannt (Bluetooth Low Energy), kommen mit deutlich weniger Strom und ohne laufende Kosten aus, ermitteln aber ihre Position gar nicht, sondern sind darauf angewiesen, dass geeignete Smartphones in Bluetooth-Weite vorbeispazieren. Dusan und Stefan erklären diese fundamentalen Unterschiede ausführlich. Bei den Bluetooth-Trackern stellt sich die grundlegende Frage nach dem Finde-Netzwerk: Apples "Wo ist?" mit AirTags und kompatiblen Trackern, Googles "Find my Device"-Netzwerk oder die kleinen Netze von Chipolo oder Tile. Darüber hinaus kommt bei einigen Bluetooth-Trackern die Funktechnik Ultrawideband (UWB) hinzu. Auch sollte man sich über die Stromversorgung Gedanken machen: Ist die Batterie oder der Akku fest eingebaut oder auswechselbar? Falls Akku, lädt er drahtlos oder per Kabel? Auch das Thema Stalking kommt zur Sprache, wie die Systeme also davor schützen, dass ein Stalker jemandem einen Tag unterjubelt. Bei GPS-Trackern kommt es aufs Einsatzgebiet an: Es gibt welche speziell für Haustiere, die entsprechend klein und robust sind. Für Fahrzeuge wiederum gibt es sowohl Modelle zum Anschluss ans Bord-Stromnetz als auch solche mit besonders großem Akku zur monatelangen Überwachung von beispielsweise batterielosen Wohnwagen oder Booten. ► Die c't-Artikel zum Thema (Paywall): https://www.heise.de/select/ct/2025/20/2522309450451632432 https://www.heise.de/select/ct/2025/20/2522309530548642065 https://www.heise.de/select/ct/2025/20/2522310120872098145

Happy Halloween! Back again with another episode of the show, and Nick is in costume and ready to give his take on Drake's lost and revived defamation lawsuit against Kendrick's "Not Like Us". After that, Verzuz is BACK after a long hiatus to give us a battle of the New Orleans labels: Cash Money Records vs. No Limit Records. Nick gives his thoughts on the good, the bad, and the ugly on the entire one hour show. Later, for the first time since Feb. 2 1990, there is not a hip hop song on Billboard's Top 100 Hot 40 Charts. Is it because no one is trying to be creative anymore? Is it because people are turning to different genres? Does rap need a hard reset? Nick gives his thoughts on why and if rap needs Billboard.

Paso Tile & Stone owner Danny Morgan stopped by Firrst Look with Andy Morris to talk about their big Veterans Day event.

Almost every conversation you see online about coffee focuses on home coffee vs cafe. It is a very interesting and relevant topic in this time of explosive growth where tools, information, and good coffee itself abounds. Another aspect of this conversation though is less discussed and maybe even more relevant, in what ways are cafes themselves positioned to learn from what makes online educators so successful to make their own customers successful in enjoying their coffee. Today's guest is perhaps the best in the space in terms of deepening peoples fascination and enjoyment of coffee globally.  It is always an honor to welcome to the show, James Hoffmann! James Hoffmann is the co-founder of Square Mile Coffee Roasters, a multi-award-winning coffee roasting company based in East London. He was the 2007 World Barista Champion, having won the UK Barista competition in both 2006 and 2007.

10 16 25 Drain Tile by Ag PhD

In this episode of I AM HOME, Tyler, Becca, and Hilary are turning up the volume on one of 2025's boldest design trends: statement tile. Think swimmer mosaics going viral, hand-painted masterpieces and bold checks and stripes that ditch boring neutrals for serious personality. They'll break down the hottest tile types, the best materials for making a splash and how to pull it off without overwhelming your space - proving that tile isn't just practical, it's pure showstopper style.

Joe Lundgren, a tile industry expert, discusses current demand trends, share shift by country and the latest strategy by importers to deflect potential tariff risks.

Systems are a necessary part of running a great coffee shop, but they do not make the shop great. As much as I talk about systems and structures on this show, the truth is, there are some problems with even the best systems when they are not part of a larger focus. Something that brings it all together. On this episode we are going to be talking about why cafes are far more than systems, what problems can arise when systems are made the end and not the means, and what you can do in your shop to make sure that you have things in their right order.

In this episode of The Tech Leader's Playbook, Avetis Antaplyan sits down with Jossie Haines—executive coach, fractional engineering leader, and former engineering leader at Apple, Zynga, Tile, and Life360—to unpack how great leaders build inclusive, high-performing teams and adopt AI with intention. Jossie shares pivotal moments from leading Siri teams at Apple (including award-winning Apple TV work) and scaling engineering at Tile, where she helped double the org and architect a culture people still miss. She gets candid about imposter syndrome, why inclusion (not box-checking diversity) drives psychological safety and product quality, and how to communicate in CEO/CFO language: business outcomes, trade-offs, and crisp “yes—and” solutions. You'll also hear her playbook for leaders using AI to reclaim strategic time, from code-base ramp-ups to custom GPTs that coach junior PMs and engineers. Plus: lessons from Zynga's two-week company-wide pivot, the value of age diversity in teams, and why “slow productivity” beats 80-hour grinds. A masterclass in defining success on your own terms—and leading with clarity, courage, and measurable impact.TakeawaysInclusion and psychological safety are prerequisites for high performance.Focus on mechanics (meetings, feedback, promotions) before chasing diversity metrics.Communicate in outcomes and trade-offs; lead with business impact.Use “yes, and” to surface constraints without being the “no” person.Leaders should model effective AI use to raise adoption quality.Treat AI as an 80–90% draft; humans add accuracy and context.Deploy AI where it frees strategy time: research, ramp-ups, admin loops.Build leverage by shipping tangible alternatives quickly.Age diversity strengthens execution and pattern recognition.Replace hustle myths with sustainable “slow productivity.”Senior leaders must self-generate confidence signals; feedback gets rarer.Define success on your terms and make clear, bold asks.Chapters00:00 Intro & Guest Setup02:00 Apple & Tile: Wins, Burnout, and Imposter Syndrome05:00 Designing Roles and Cultures People Miss08:30 Why Senior Leaders Feel Isolated10:40 Inclusion → Psychological Safety → Performance13:10 Operationalizing Inclusion (Meetings, Feedback, Promotions)16:50 Hiring Panels, Representation, and Real Accountability18:55 Keeping Eyes on Outcomes, Not Optics21:50 The Overlooked Advantage of Age Diversity26:20 Boundaries, Peak Hours, and Sustainable Work28:40 Leaders & AI: Modeling Quality and Guardrails33:00 AI as Draft Partner: Seniors vs. Juniors36:30 Practical AI Workflows (Ramp-Ups, Custom Assistants)40:15 Speaking CFO/CEO: Outcomes, Trade-offs, “Yes, and”46:50 Shipping Fast for Negotiation Leverage51:10 Trust Yourself, Ask Boldly, Create Roles54:30 Closing & Book RecommendationsJossie Haines's Social Media Links:https://www.linkedin.com/in/jossiemann/Jossie Haines's Websites:https://jossiehaines.com/Resources and Links:https://www.hireclout.comhttps://www.podcast.hireclout.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hirefasthireright

Who you are cannot be what someone else is or is not. What makes you unique and valuable is not born from comparative analysis and cold execution n what you think a "wimning" formula is. Making and keep specialty coffee special is a simple exercise in growing in knowledge, wisdom, and consistent conversation with yourself, your team, your community, and the greater world around you. Trouble is that we often want to skip the meaningful parts, and borrow other peoples identities as our own in hopes of success.  On today's episode we will be talking about what makes the small independent specialty retailer special. Why Starbucks closure of 400 stores is a warning for us to distance ourselves from the false notions of learning good business from big business, and the simple steps and philosophies that lead to sustainable and fulfilling cafe operation.  Related Episodes:  Excellence In The Things We Hate 181 : Organizational Self-Knowledge 523: Encore: How We Ruin Specialty Coffee Experience The Quality Standards Equation How to talk to Customers about Coffee SHIFT BREAK!

The world is a dumpster fire, confirmed. Following California's landmark AI safety bill SB 53, the head of Nvidia is allegedly "quaking in his boots"—which is a good sign, unlike the news that the "Nirvana Baby" Spencer Elden's lawsuit was finally dismissed. Meanwhile, corporate America continues its pivot to chaos: Spotify shuffled its execs, Meta is charging UK users for ad-free Facebook and Instagram, and the UK is introducing digital ID cards (Hello, Mark of the Beast). The entire internet is now dominated by bots, proving the Cracker Barrel logo outrage was manufactured, a fact that's somehow less depressing than the FCC accidentally leaking iPhone schematics. Naturally, Alphabet just paid $22 million to settle President Trump's YouTube lawsuit, confirming that legal threats are the new VC funding. Disney is panicking over an "AI Actress," sending cease and desist letters to Character.AI, while OpenAI rolls out its new Sora app and ChatGPT's ability to buy things for you, proving it's determined to turn the internet into one seamless, copyright-infringing shopping mall, and it's now worth more than Elon Musk's SpaceX.The ensuing boredom demands new media, though the pacing is terrible in everything: Slow Horses Season 5 and Human: Neanderthal Encounters are great, but even the original Matrix and Frankenstein trailer (by Guillermo del Toro) feel slow, confirming the Princess Bride litmus test. MXV's Riot Fest photos were rad, and Disney lost 1.7M subs after suspending Kimmel, which is why YouTube Music is testing AI hosts (who will only be wrong), and the Pivot Tour is happening. Our Apps & Doohickeys department confirms security is an afterthought: macOS 26 unlocked the Journal app, but the smart glasses race is fully on, and Logitech's new keyboard can be recharged by any light (finally, tech that works!). Amazon Fire TV is expected to ditch Android for Linux, Meta introduced the AI-filled Vibes feed, and Tile trackers were found to have a stalking flaw—a fact only slightly more depressing than the swift failure of the Neon call-recording app and the continued existence of the Comet browser. Finally, The Dark Side with Dave celebrated the low-budget charm of Blue Thunder and the necessity of Disney Park Ride Overlays, while Dave embarked on his quest to unbox the Home Depot R2D2.

The app reportedly "closely resembles" TikTok, with a vertical video feed and swipe-to-scroll navigation. The catch? It will only feature AI-generated content. -(04:46) Researchers have discovered major security flaws with Tile tracking tags, according to a report by Wired. These flaws could allow both the company itself and tech-savvy stalkers to track a user's location. The security issue could also let a malicious actor falsely frame a Tile owner for stalking, as the flaw can make it appear as if a particular tag is constantly in the vicinity of somebody else's tag.

I love getting to re-air classics. This one on barista manuals is a great one because it provide a structure for essentials that you can build on. Here is the truth though, manuals do not magically create a difference in your shop. They are only a tools to help you build and are meant to support people in the work toward a common goal. On today's encore episode we will be diving into the original episode from 2018 to go over 10 essential sections to include in your manual. It is my hope you will also explore the episodes linked in the show notes to really go deeper. Coffee is about serving people through coffee and when we discuss systems, structure, and tools, we must always bear in mind that these are meant to benefit our staff and our customers equally.  Related Episodes:    Are YOU Using Your Manual?

The world of coffee shops is fueled by the world of coffee farmers. For as long as coffee has been grown, the people who pursue the cultivation of the product we cultivate community around in the cafe have struggled and survive based on their ability to band together, invest in the land, one another, and innovate methods to secure their future.  Today we get he distinct honor of talk with someone whose efforts have produced many different opportunities to advance the thriving of farmers and provides a model that can be spread to other farms as well.  I am please to welcome, Felipe Sardi!  Felipe is the Founder and CEO of El Green Hub, a business ecosystem dedicated to environmental regeneration, sustainability, and innovation within the specialty coffee value chain. With operations in multiple countries, El Green Hub brings together companies that span coffee production, international trade, retail, and financial services. By empowering small-scale producers across Latin America through sustainable practices and financial inclusion, they drive meaningful economic and social change in rural communities. Their journey began with La Palma y el Tucán, a small farm in Cundinamarca that transformed from degraded land into a thriving ecosystem where specialty coffee flourishes alongside restored biodiversity. This living laboratory proved that regenerative agriculture works—inspiring business models that have since grown into significant enterprises across the coffee and agricultural sectors Born and raised in Colombia within an entrepreneurial family, Felipe developed a deep appreciation for hard work, innovation, and purpose-driven business. He graduated from Los Nogales High School in Bogotá (1996) and went on to earn a Bachelor's in Finance from Tulane University in New Orleans (2001).

And the myths just keep on coming! Welcome to part 2 of the series on Myth Coffee Shop Owners Believe. The goal here is to create space and slow down long enough to critically and intentionally examine ideas before we adopt them into the fabric of our cafes. Of course in the frenzied world many of us occupy, having time to think might itself be a rare luxury.   So today I hope you have found that time to listen and think through these subject with me. We are covering 5 more myths that need to be more deeply considered before they are automatically believed.  Today we will be talking about these myths:  If you build it they will come Exclusivity and novelty will bring 'em in  More on the menu is better -or-You need to have something for everyone Scaling = success I can hire in knowledge vs developing it internally   Related episodes!

Like Pepsi in 1984, coffee is the "Choice of a New Generation"... but maybe not in the same way as we of older generations are comfortable with. The ways digital natives are consuming coffee today may be unique, but as with all coffee consumers before and after, they are seeking the identity, belonging, utility, and promises associated with coffee and the community it has always facilitated.  The question we need to ask is how do we in the world f coffee shops acknowledge, welcome, include, adn understand these very important consumers? To help us explore this we are chatting with friend of the show and deep thinker extraordinaire, Kosta Kallivrousis!  Kosta Kallivrousis has spent over 14 years working across the specialty-coffee supply chain. His unique combination of experience as a barista, licensed Q grader, and in strategic sales at both roasted and green coffee companies has given him a 360°-view of the specialty-coffee world. Kosta is passionate about building equitable sourcing relationships between coffee producers and buyers, challenging industry norms around taste and value, and advocating for greater connection and community in the coffee industry.   Links:  KOSTA ON INSTAGRAM:  https://www.instagram.com/espresso_patronus/   Other Links: The barista mag piece Kosta wrote about cafe raves The death of a millennial brand with Euguene Healey Postmillennials desire era's and not fixed identities by Eugene Healey How Gen Z expects brands to interact with them by Ogilvy.    Related episodes:  321 : Marketing and Moral Injury w/ Josh Tarlo of Kiss the Hippo 393 : The Tyranny of Taste w/ Kosta Kallivrousis SHIFT BREAK: Quality Still Matters Some Tips on Signature Drinks Menu Simplicity as Hospitality 274 : Crafting Specialty Drinks in your Shop w/ Matt Foster” 548: Cool Ideas For Customer Engagement    Insights into the specialty coffee industry and its challenges.

Once again it is Founder Friday! The world of coffee encompasses vast regions of taste and culture, all united by the communal cup of coffee. In the Philippines there has been an incredible movement of specialty. Yardstick Coffee stands as one of the original specialty coffee roasters and retailers that has built a solid and growing company that continually pursues new ways to serve people through services of wholesale, roasting, equipment, and more. Today we are going to be talking with one of the founders of Yardstick Coffee, Andre Chanco!  Andre Chanco began his career in IT, working as a consultant for a multinational company before making an unexpected pivot to coffee. While working part-time at Papa Palheta—one of Singapore's pioneering specialty coffee roasters—he immersed himself in coffee roasting, eventually becoming a full-time apprentice. Over the years, he took on responsibilities in green buying and marketing, setting the foundation for his future in coffee. In 2013, Andre co-founded Yardstick Coffee in Manila with university friends Kevin and Jessica. What began as a wholesale roasting and equipment business has since evolved into one of the Philippines' leading specialty coffee brands. Today, Andre serves as Head of Product and Brand, overseeing green coffee sourcing and the company's product development. Founded in 2013, Yardstick began as a B2B coffee roaster and equipment distributor, becoming the official partner of La Marzocco and Rocket Espresso in the Philippines. With just one showroom and training space in Makati, Yardstick offered coffee roasting, SCA certification workshops, and equipment solutions for cafes and restaurants. Following the pandemic, Yardstick shifted its focus to retail, evolving into a customer-led, community-driven coffee brand. Today, Yardstick operates nine stores across Metro Manila, with plans to open two more by the end of 2025. The company continues to roast specialty coffee in-house, with a strong emphasis on quality, accessibility and discovery. Yardstick has also proudly hosted the Philippine AeroPress Championship for over a decade, championing accessibility, collaboration, and growth in the local coffee scene. I hope you enjoy this conversation that takes you all the way from the founding of Yardstick, into the inner workings of their organization, management and philosophies- to today and what their focus is to continue to deliver exceptional experiences in all areas of the company.
