AA Cafe Podcast

It's the BIG 50th episode of AA Cafe! Isaiah and I bore you through one more episode. We encourage you to ask questions (of Nick Cho mostly). Mark Prince of Coffeegeek calls in and praises the DoubleShot Coffee Company - what a sweetie pie. I tell a little about my trip to Guatemala (don't miss the mugging). And I ask a lot of questions about coffee processing.

This is the one that got away. I originally recorded podcast 13 with David Fell of Stonewood Coffee & Tea, but being the unlucky episode, things went awry and the sound files disappeared from existence. Not even David the computer guru could recover them. So Isaiah and I re-recorded #13 for your listening pleasure.
New coffee technologies are unveiled, plus a couple phone-in guests.

The Waylon F'ing Jennings of the Coffee World? It's the last AA Cafe of 2007. Isaiah returns as the ambassador to the people in our quest for World Coffee Domination. Listen and learn how to make coffee without electricity, what happens when you lie about coffee, and what happens when my girlfriend calls while we're podcasting. You don't want to miss the absolute best letter from a listener. Write to us: [email protected]

We've moved on to become the Emiliano Zapata of coffee podcasting. Isaiah co-hosts again, and we briefly discuss his coffee history. Our advice this week concerns gift-giving (since Christmas time is near and people seem to enjoy buying things for each other this time of year). Three different coffees from DoubleShot are recommended this week, as well as a book about coffee (nice gift?). And you don't want to miss the Coffee Illuminati "Art" party on 12/6/2007 from 7-10p.

We're the Rush Limbaugh of coffee podcasting. That's right. AA Cafe 47 is all about education. Isaiah and Brian give you lots of ideas about how to educate yourself about coffee. So you don't have to "wake up special every day."

Jogcast #3 The Leadville Trail 100 in Leadville Colorado. My final attempt to finish what many say is the toughtest ultra in the US. You have no idea how hard it is.

WCD World Coffee Domination. That's what Isaiah (the profit) and I have up our sleeves. It's the podcast that hatches our plan. But first, we discuss how long customers should stay after closing time. And the fact that Starbucks is copying off us again by teaming up with Hershey. And if you hurry up and listen, you might be able to enjoy a cup or a pound of our Ethiopia Yirgacheffe from MAO Horse before it's all gone. We taste, you drool.

Return of the Jedi. Whatever that means. The last of a trilogy of podcasts out of San Fran with Ferraris. A couple of interviews. Jeri from Royal Coffee, one of my brokers. And a coffee farmer from Kenya, Robin shares his story.

The EMPIRE Strikes Back. Ferraris and I continue to talk about San Francisco, SCAA, and blah blah blah. A long conversation about organic certification and the Blue Bottle. Sleeping outside in Long Beach, and Ritual Coffee Roasters.

A New Hope. First in a trilogy (actually number 4) of podcasts from San Francisco with the acclaimed Amy Ferraris. A recap of the SCAA Conference. Jeremy from Ritual gets fired from Starbucks. The Clover. Jay from Portafilter. The conclusion of the farm direct controversy.
