March 01, 2017 Our Brains Hurt
We are overwhelmed but still plugging away.
In this episode we talk about some up and coming events in Australia & Seattle as well as a few local talks.
We answer some listener questions on taking orders, roasting decaf, curves & the fun one...Tipping.
Tipping is a big talk and we weigh in a little more about how we perceive tipping and some ideas for those who are potentially trying to rid their business of the tipping process.
WE also talk turnover and growth opportunities.
Cheers and thanks to Wilbur Curtis

February 09, 2017 No Pedestal for Baristas
We are still plugging away on the long list of questions from guests and the most poignant one in this episode refers to the Barista.
Why do we place all the emphasis on the Barista in this coffee culture. How come they are the "cool" job. Why do we put all of our emphasis in the cafe experience on the interaction with Baristas specifically?
All of that and more on this episode.
Thank you as always to Wilbur Curtis!
