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!

It's busy out there in the world of coffee: national barista champions from across the globe are in Milan for The World Barista Championship at HOST Milano and La Marzocco's Out of the Box. Who will become the 2025 World Barista Champion? Only time will tell! In the meantime, we've got another humdinger of an episode of the Coffee Sprudgecast. Much is discussed on this episode but the real meat is in the macchiato. Espresso macchiato? Macchiato latte? Caramel Macchiato? "Traditional" macchiato? What's a real macchiato anyway? After a brush with macchiato clarification at a coffee bar in Portland, host Jordan Michelman had questions. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sprudge (@sprudge) With every fresh episode, there's fresh coffee. With another fresh coffee offering from the Roaster's Village, the hosts drink Bay Area's Equator Coffees limited Kona Monarch Washed Pacamara. The coffee was brewed and enjoyed using coffee gear we're bench testing at Sprudge HQ: the coffee was ground fresh with the Timemore Sculptor 078S and brewed using a Miir Pourigami Travel Coffee Dripper. We're partnering with Miir to provide 25% off Miir products using promo code SPRUDGE25. The hosts ("big vessel guys") enjoyed the coffee in a 2-WayCup from Slow Pour Supply: Introducing the award winning, newly refined 2-WayCup, crafted with precision and an eye for excellence. In collaboration with Martin Wölfl, WBrC 2024 Champion, 2-WayCup's design has been elevated to ensure an enhanced tasting experience. This champion-approved refinement guarantees that every sip meets the highest standards of enjoyment. Stay tuned to Sprudge and @Sprudge on Instagram for the very latest.

What makes a roastery truly stand out - is it the coffee itself, the transparency behind it, or the trust customers place in the brand? For many, navigating the roasting world feels like chasing moving targets. Today we're joined by Klaus Thomsen, World Barista Champion (2006) and co-founder of Coffee Collective. From humble beginnings in a garage, Klaus and his team now run 8 shops, a bakery, and supply over 420 wholesale partners worldwide. In this episode, Klaus shares how roasters can build lasting trust through direct trade, diverse coffee menus, and genuine transparency. You'll learn why trust signals matter more than reports, how to balance customer education without overwhelm, and why the future of roasting may split into luxury, specialty, and commercial tiers.

We discuss various decaffeination methods as well as a greater need for caffeine education. Pete shares his experience in the industry, from his first competition back in 2005, to moving to Melbourne in 2019 for a R&D role at Nomad Coffee Group. Plus, what are our thoughts on loyalty cards in cafes? And what trends does Pete see for the future of the coffee industry? Thanks for joining us Pete, it was a pleasure to chat.

Mikael Jasin, the 2024 World Barista Champion, has significantly impacted both the global coffee stage and the future of Indonesian coffee. His journey to prominence began with his participation in the Indonesian Barista Championship, where he placed second in 2018 and 2019 before winning the national title in 2020. His dedication and innovative techniques have earned him a reputation for excellence, culminating in his recent world championship win in Busan, South Korea.Jasin's approach to coffee is deeply rooted in mindfulness and sensory engagement. At the World Barista Championship, he captivated judges with his carefully crafted beverages, each designed to evoke specific emotions and memories. For example, his milk-based course featured a blend of dairy, cashew, and oat milks to create a complex, layered drink with flavors of peach liquor and cantaloupe. His espresso course showcased a Panamanian Geisha, highlighting delicate floral and citrus notes.Beyond his personal achievements, Jasin is a driving force in the Indonesian coffee industry. He co-founded So So Good Coffee Company and CATUR Coffee Company, focusing on elevating the quality of Indonesian coffee from farm to cup. His efforts include training baristas, consulting cafe owners, and partnering with farmers to improve post-harvest processing techniques. This holistic approach aims to enhance the overall quality and consistency of Indonesian coffee, benefiting the entire supply chain.Jasin's victory has brought global attention to Indonesian coffee, which has often been overshadowed by other coffee-producing nations. His success serves as an inspiration for aspiring baristas and coffee professionals in Indonesia, highlighting the unique qualities and potential of Indonesian coffee. As a result, there is a renewed interest in coffee cultivation among younger generations and increased government support for coffee exports.Mikael Jasin's achievements not only underscore his personal dedication and skill but also signify a promising future for Indonesian coffee. His contributions are helping to shape a more vibrant and recognized coffee industry in Indonesia, with a focus on quality, innovation, and sustainability.『Guest Speaker 』Mikael Jasin 2024 World Barista Championship Co-Founder of So So Good Company Co-Founder of CATUR Coffee Company Co-Founder of OmakafeHost:Yike / Yujia『Reference Journals』https://ssgcoffeecompany.com/pages/mikael-jasinhttps://specialprojects.sprudge.com/?p=411https://magazine.coffee/blog/2/6765/mikael-jasin-of-indonesia-is-crowned-world-barista-champion-2024https://thecoffeelifestyle.com/article/detail/indonesian-barista-mikael-jasin-clinches-world-championship-victoryhttps://urnex.com/ambassadors/mikael-jasinhttps://www.beanscenemag.com.au/mikael-jasin-crowned-world-barista-champion-2024/

Two of the most important things that help coffee farmers are market access, and being able to invigorate the younger generation to work in and advocate for coffee farming. While at the SCA Expo in Chicago this year I tasted some amazing coffees from Colombia that were presented by today's guest who has taken one the challenge to represent her family's farm and many other small farmers in Colombia while also inspire the next generation in the process. Yolima Taborda Rojas is the founder of Paisa Coffee and a native Colombian and daughter of coffee farmers. Her dream has always been to share the love she has for coffee with the world. I believe the best cup of coffee is achieved when both farmers and roasters work together to improve quality and add value. Yolima was born and raised on Finca la Vega farm, which is currently one of Paisa's partner farms. At Paisa Coffee they have some of the most special coffees to offer to the world. Coming straight from origin gives Yolima the opportunity and honor to speak on behalf of her family and neighbor farmers to share with coffee roasters what they want to show and what they have to offer through long-standing relationships with coffee farmers in Colombia We cover: Growing up in a coffee family in Colombia the importance of education and the value of coffee to their livelihood. Yolima's journey from the farm to college in Medellin and eventually to the United States Discovering the potential of direct trade and started her own coffee business, bridging the gap between farmers and roasters. The importance of feedback from roasters Why managing risk in the coffee business requires a conservative approach and a willingness to experiment with smaller changes. How education and technology play a key role in empowering the next generation of coffee farmers. Why supporting both specialty and commercial coffees is important for the sustainability How consumers have the power to drive change by asking questions, seeking information, and supporting ethical and sustainable practices Links: https://www.paisacoffee.net/about @paisacoffeellc Related Episodes: 319 : A Conversation w/ World Barista Champion, Diego Campos of Colombia! 103 : The Colombian Coffee Connection w/ Ervin Liz Sustainability Series #2 : Importing & Roasting 335: A Better Business Model for Coffee Farmers w/ Thaleon Tremain of Pachamama Coffee Thank you to our amazing sponsors!
