In Episode 84 of the Orange Cactus Coffee Podcast, Mike spends the vast majority of the time talking about the Aillio Bullet R1.

In Episode 150 of the Daily Ristretto, I talked about an experience I had helping a lady buy cinnamon sticks, and how I think that related to the growth of artisanal or third wave coffee- especially an article brought to my attention by the incredible Jennifer Ferreira.

In Episode 145 fo the Daily Ristretto, I talked about some feedback we’ve received from customers on our coffee.

In Episode 144 of the Daily Ristretto, I talked about a recent coffee experience that left me puzzled at how rude coffee consumers could be. Does specialty coffee attract such consumers? Could a more simple menu weed these arrogant customers out? I’d love to hear your thoughts on the matter. -Jake
