June 01, 2024 Episode 2: Why Robusta Coffee Prices Are Skyrocketing, Best Places to Learn About Coffee and Perfect Food Pairings for Coffee
In this episode of Coffee Rockstars, the hosts discuss three main topics: the skyrocketing prices of Robusta coffee, the best places to learn more about coffee, and perfect food pairings for coffee. They explore the factors driving up Robusta prices, such as weather patterns and increased demand. They also highlight the importance of recognizing the value of Robusta and its potential for specialty coffee. The hosts suggest that coffee shops and businesses may need to adjust their prices or consider alternative blends. They emphasize the need for consumer education and understanding of the market dynamics. Coffee farming is difficult and farmers in the coffee value chain need to be paid more. Specialty coffee is popular now, with many resources available to learn more about coffee, such as YouTube channels and online courses. There are also physical schools and training centers where people can learn about coffee. Food pairings with coffee can enhance the coffee experience, such as pairing Filipino breakfasts with iced Americano or biscuits with coffee. It's important to experiment and balance flavors when it comes to food and coffee pairings.

May 29, 2024 Episode 1 🔸 The current state of Philippine specialty coffee 🔸 Highlights from the World Barista Championship in Busan 🔸 What's new in the world of coffee
In this episode of the Coffee Rockstars podcast, Michael Harris and Lloyd Eric Conlin discuss the current state of Philippine coffee and share their experiences at the World Barista Championship and World of Coffee Expo in Busan, Korea. They talk about the emergence of new coffee concepts and the entry of foreign coffee companies in the Philippines. They also mention the upcoming Philippine Coffee Expo and the drama and excitement of the World Barista Championship. The hosts highlight the routines of Mikael Jensen and Jack Simpson, who scored only one point apart in the competition. Competing in barista competitions, especially at the world level, can be expensive in terms of both money and time. Participants need to invest in training, finding a good coffee, and building a team. Nationals can also be costly, but more reachable than the world level. The most reachable competition is Cup Tasters. The conversation also touched on new gadgets and products showcased at the expo, such as a smaller and more affordable espresso machine and a new distribution tool by Nucleus Tools. The hosts also mentioned new coffee shops opening in BGC and invited listeners to be part of the Coffee Rockstar podcast.
