Chris and Doran are joined by Tonx (Tony Konecny) from YES PLZ from Los Angeles, CA. We discuss a paper from the Yeretzian lab out of ZHAW. The paper aims to address a common question for the home coffee consumer, "How should you store your coffee one the bag is open?". We immediately thought of Tonx and YES PLZ, who have experimented with various packages for their subscription service. We hope you enjoy the episode. The paper: Food Packag. Shelf Life, 2022, 33, 100893. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fpsl.2022.100893 The article can be found in coffee literature library: ⁠https://pages.uoregon.edu/chendon/coffee_literature/coffee_lit_rev/⁠. About Tonx: Legend of subscription coffee, Tonx started Tonx coffee and later a coffee/restaurant venture called LocoL. Pre-pandemic he rolled out his current subscription service, YES PLZ. Good timing — home coffee consumption exploded during the 2020-2021 years. Introduction preamble: Steve Leighton

Tony “Tonx” Konecny is on the show today and we talk about the coffee company he founded with Sumi Ali. It's called Yes Plz Coffee, and if you've listened to this show, you know how much love we have for what Tony and Sumi have built—the bag is part of our show's logo too, which tells you something. On this episode we talk about how Yes Plz is bringing exceptional blends and single-origin coffees to subscribers each week. It's a really smart business model, and we get into how it all works, and how, in the end, it's the coffee fans who win. Do you enjoy This Is TASTE? Drop us a review on Apple, or star us on Spotify. We'd love to hear from you.

A conversation with Andrew Barnett, founder of San Francisco's Linea Caffe. Andrew is one of my oldest friends in coffee and was kind enough to subject himself to being my first guest as I kick the tires on this show! We talk about his history in coffee, dreaming of flavor, the challenges of the coffee business, and some takes about the role of Starbucks in our niche and the current state of coffee bars. Find Andrew on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/andrewbbarnett/ and Linea at https://lineacaffe.com/about/ Over Coffee with Tonx is a show of conversations about coffee, culture, and culinary stuff hosted by Tony "Tonx" Konecny, longtime coffee nerd and entrepreneur.

No matter how you brew it, coffee is hot water dripped through ground beans. But somewhere down the line, good coffee started to feel out of reach, even for the everyday coffee drinker. Some coffee historians may disagree, but Tony Koecny (aka Tonx) believes that coffee's turn toward the bourgeois came with its third wave — a post-Starbucks generation of gadget obsessed brewers looking for the best quality beans. Tony's roots in the coffee world run deep. His initial company, Tonx was the first coffee subscription around. Now, a couple years after selling Tonx to Blue Bottle, Tony launched Yes Plz. In many ways Yes Plz feels like the culmination of everything he's learned, not only about the nuances of the supply chain or the flavor complexity of different beans, but how coffee culture went wrong. Yes Plz is on an earnest mission to make really great coffee easy to buy and brew at home. With their weekly deliveries and beautifully executed zine, Tony and his team are lowering the barrier to entry for exceptional home brewing, and they may steal back some pod coffee converts along the way. Find links and show notes on the Lumi blog.

From Atlanta to Los Angeles, Sumi Ali "grew up in coffee", with stints at Condesa, Intelligentsia, Thrive Farmers and more. His current project is YES PLZ, a direct-to-consumer coffee roaster that aims to democratize great coffee. He’s also always on the lookout for excellent customer service, friendly middle of the country diners, and ribs- he wants ALL the BBQ ribs.

Great coffee should be for everyone! For the consumer today though, specialty coffee can be complicated. But it does not have to be! Today we talk with industry legend Tony "Tonx"  Konecny, Founder of Tonx Coffee, and Co-founder of Yes Plz (the people behind the $1 cup of coffee at Locol) all about his mission to remedy this issue. In addition to discussing Yes Plz and some of Tony's professional history that informs the companies philosophy we will talk about:challenging orthodoxy, intentional blending, pricing for accessibility, coffee subscriptions, on-boarding customers, the industries echo chamber and much more. Tony has a lot to say that I think will help shape our approach to customers in the shop and really make an impact on how "into" coffee they get.  Throughout this talk ask yourself: What are we doing to help customers into specialty coffee in the shops? How can I apply these philosophies to how I act and speak with customers in the shop? What rules or orthodoxies am I holding onto that may need to be challenged in the name of progress?

This past weekend we attended the Global Coffee Expo in Seattle where we were able to interview some amazing people in the specialty coffee industry. The first episode in a series of those interviews, we're talking about the cost of coffee with the producer of some of the worlds most expensive and prized coffees - Graciano Cruz, as well as a long-time veteran of the coffee industry in LA who recently started selling cups for just $1, Tonx.

Who doesn’t love a great pet? Americans have long revered their furry friends, adopting them as part of their families. Yet as adorable as our pets can be, some are unusually extraordinary and are trained to provide affection and comfort for individuals in need.  In this podcast, Judge Lauten sits down with Joanne Rittenhouse and Cindy Frongello, who along with their canine companions, Karl and Tonx, form part of two of the Circuit’s pet therapy dog teams. Joanne and Cindy talk about how they got involved with the program and share some instances where their pets have helped young children testify in court under difficult circumstances. Several years ago, former Ninth Circuit Judge Thomas Turner identified the need for trauma sensitive courts and worked to establish the K9th Program. The program matches abuse victims, primarily young children, with therapy dogs. After developing a close bond with the dogs, victims receive the comfort and courage to enter a courtroom, confront their abusers, and testify about the life-altering events they experienced. Listen to Open Ninth and learn more about the canine companions and their human handlers who create a positive, caring atmosphere for children and adults who are struggling to participate in the judicial system. Cindy Frongello is a psychologist. She and Tonx maintain their certifications annually. Besides working with the K9th Program, they also assist children in the local school system. Joanne Rittenhouse has had multiple pet therapy dogs. Karl, who was born with special needs, soothes even the most nervous child with his calm demeanor. They too must maintain rigorous certifications. Let us know what you think about the podcast.

Tonx Continues the journey with us talking intelligentsia, hipsters, service, subscription services, blue bottle & so much more. The story of Locol, a new healthy fast food venture with amazing coffee quality is part of this episode. Big shout out to Califia for being our first sponsor.

Tony is better known as Tonx. He was a roaster for multiple respected specialty coffee companies, founded the first successful coffee subscription service & does the coffee program with Locol, a high end fast food company with Micheline Chefs at the helm. He has deep roots in the coffee world & shares a portion of his journey in this episode. Typical banter ensues.

Calling all nerds! Today we welcome our favorite South Florida nerd couple, DJ TONX and Rosemary, to #HPHQ to talk about nerd stuff.

So we wanted to highlight Nerdporn and Nerd Central for being an awesome community where nerds can be nerds. Did we mention that TONX and Rosemary are our favorite SoFlo couple? Success story inbound! Oh yeah and MasterJoe is starting a new job today, no big deal.

illy lashes out at Milton Bradley, but not before revisiting a few of yesteryear’s toy lines that failed (and for good reason!). Who were these toys for, and who came up with these ideas in the first place? ….and, can anyone explain what happened with Tonx?

The New Disruptors launched on December 5, 2012. I wanted to talk to people making stuff, creating art, or helping others get their work out there. The show is now at episode 53, and it's been a delightful year. I wanted to look back at early guests, and was able to get the folks who appeared on the first four episodes to chat briefly about what happened next. I talk in this show with Lisanne Pajot and James Swirksy, Indie Game: The Movie; Chris Anderson, then Wired and now 3DRobotics; Tony Konecny, Tonx (coffee); and Evan Ratliff, of The Atavist and Creativist.

Tony Konecny, better known as Tonx, has been sourcing and roasting beans for a numbers of years, and recently founded Tonx Coffee, a subscription service that delivers whole beans from small batch roasting every two weeks. It's not a bean of the month club. It's a way to bypass the overchoice that one can face in specialty coffee shops, and get the assurance that the beans are fresh and good every time. In this episode, listen to Tonx and his ecommerce guru Nik Bauman talk about the joys of coffee and the joys of starting a business in which you can talk directly to your customers without anyone else getting in the way. There's a brief interlude in which the host and a friend have a little Tonx tasting, too. (Note: Although Tonx Coffee has sponsored other Mule Radio shows, this show is editorially independent and Tonx Coffee didn't sponsor this episode.)
