Experience Good Coffee Podcast

It was anything but a regular episode of the CLO Club Live podcast this time (if we have such thing as regular?!). With no Nick in the house (which meant no deep dives into articles this week — we know, we know), the vibe was suitably spontaneous, and delightfully chaotic in all the right ways.

But who needs Nick when you’ve got Rafi the dog making guest appearances and a surprise cameo from the delivery man? We’re talking unfiltered podcast gold here.

In lieu of academia, we stirred things up with a latte art competition, naturally. Now latte art being typically a visual thing you may want to check out Instagram to judge for yourself, but see if you can work out the winner audibly first!

Of course, we couldn’t resist singing the praises of the ever-popular Solomon’s Porch blend — warm, rich, and absolutely the reason some of us show up. We unpacked why it’s so beloved, both by us and the wider CLO club.

As always, Dave delivered his signature film chat, while Josh and Tom kept the vibes going strong with their music talk, covering everything from soul-stirring tracks, the latest gigs, and must-watch (or must-not!) films.

And in a moment of regional pride, we made sure to raise a mug to Leeds — Champions! A well-earned shoutout that got us all briefly distracted by the football - who’d have though eh? #ALAW #MOT 

In short: no script, lots of laughs, and just the right amount of coffee-fuelled chaos. Same time next week? Hit the pause button and have a coffee with us!

This week on CLO Club Live, we’re embracing the art of slowing down. With the week in full swing and everyone buzzing around, we took a collective pause to do what we do best—share a coffee and a good chat. There’s something special about carving out that little moment of calm, and we made the most of it with laughs, stories, and great coffee.

The sunshine showed up too, and we’re definitely not mad about it. With the sun out, the knees followed suit, and the good vibes were flowing as we soaked up some well-earned warmth and talked about all the things that make life that little bit sweeter.

For the coffee lovers among us (even Dave?!), we dove into the world of V60 filter brewing—what it is, why it’s magic, and how to master it without needing a science degree or a hipster apron.

Of course, it wouldn’t be CLO Club without a few tangents. We took a detour into the wild world of marketing blunders—those cringe-worthy moments where brand meets disaster—and had a good laugh over what not to say when trying to sell something.

As always, Tom brought us up to speed with his latest gig reviews, Dave gave us his signature lowdown on what’s worth watching, and Bess makes a guest appearance!

All in all, it was another episode filled with community, connection, and the kind of coffee-fuelled joy that makes even the busiest week feel a little lighter. Whether you’re walking the dog, commuting, or just curled up with your brew, grab a ‘cloffee’ and join the CLO Club.

This week on CLO Club LIVE, we’re hitting pause, grabbing our coffee, and diving headfirst into another round up of the week!

Dave’s been perfecting his latte art—but is he painting masterpieces or just making milky messes? Meanwhile, we tackle one of life’s biggest questions: does your dog actually love you, or are you just their snack dispenser? 

Ever wondered about the economics of marshmallows? No? Well, too bad—we’re taking a lightning-fast tour through the world of cakes, biscuits, and unexpected financial wisdom. Plus, is robusta coffee about to stage a global takeover? We investigate whether these beans are brewing up a revolution on the coffee scene.

Music fans, rejoice! Josh is here with his Wombats gig review, giving us the lowdown on their latest show. And for movie lovers, Dave’s got fresh recommendations—including a surprising new entry in the top five highest-grossing films of all time.

And, of course, no episode is complete without hilarious interruptions, unexpected green coffee deliveries, and a special guest appearance from the real star of the show: Rafi the dog! 

So, grab a coffee, take a moment, and get ready for another entertaining episode of CLO Club LIVE!

This week, we’re LIVE from the legendary Hammersmith Apollo!!! Okay, fine… just down t’road - serving up four glorious filter coffees for a conference. Meanwhile, back in Leeds, we’re sample roasting some new beans and probably making a mess.

We’ll be tackling some of your questions from the CLO Club—like, can Dave really call himself a film buff? Someone has put him to the test! Tom’s also got the team talking about sports, bringing an article of his own for a change! Which leads us to ask: Have you ever been mistaken for a sports star or celebrity? (Spoiler: Dave is in fact famous…he just doesn’t know it yet!). And, of course, the never-ending debate rages on… what’s the ultimate bedtime snack combo? Biscuit + drink = perfection… but which ones? And is it dunk-able!?

Expect all the usual chaos—dodgy sound, sketchy internet, and five people in two different places just trying to take a moment to slow down, sip some great coffee, and have a laugh. Join us!

This week on CLO Club LIVE, we’re taking a moment again to slow down and enjoy time together —starting with the simple joy of pausing for a coffee at the start of a busy day. With our brand-new Easter Blend on the menu, we’re pairing it with chocolate Easter eggs and asking: what’s everyone’s favorite Easter treat?

We’re also diving into the world of late-night snacking—what’s good, what’s bad, and how it all affects your sleep. Should you really be reaching for that midnight snack, or is it best to leave the fridge alone before bed?

On a lighter note, we’re sharing heartwarming stories of generosity and kindness, from celebrities giving back to small but meaningful random acts of kindness that make the world a better place.

And as always, Dave and Tom are here with their latest film and music recommendations, so if you’re looking for something new to watch or listen to, we’ve got you covered.

In this episode, we’re hitting pause, and chatting over some excellent filter coffee — though, fair warning, it's a bit chaotic! We're streaming live from Harrogate and from home, so the sound quality might get a little dodgy at times, but it all adds to the hilarity.

We kick things off with a discussion about the latest Marvel film—our thoughts, reactions, and whether it's living up to the hype. Tom then shares his latest gig recommendation for anyone looking to catch some live music, while Nick updates us on his latest articles, including speculations on who could be the next James Bond.
