The Orange Cactus Coffee Podcast: Coffee | Specialty Coffee | Roasting & Brewing | Espresso Mike Kinkade & Jake Goble

Mike and I called this episode 66 instead of 67, and I used Siri to make playful corrections throughout. We talked about auto-responders for support e-mails and how I absolutely despise auto-responders on Twitter when you follow someone. We prefer to be real, at scale, and that takes time. We invest time in relationships and […]

In Episode 88 of the Daily Ristretto, I reminded you that you can still send questions for coffee professional Scott Rao in to us via e-mail or social media, that our second regular podcast of the week has moved from Wednesday to Thursday. Lastly, I talked about a great article from Howard Bryman on Daily […]

In Episode 87, I talked about Twitter auto-responding direct messages and an interesting conversation I had with a young entrepreneur last night. I also saw a few deals on Amazon for Prime Day that I wanted to draw your attention to. Bodum has a lot of deals, and Bonavita has some exceptional deals. Their SCAA […]

I promised you last week that I would test the flow rates of the Blue Bottle dripper and the Kalita Wave 185 dripper. Well, I did. The results are in and not surprisingly- the Blue Bottle has a slower flow rate than the Kalita Wave. It just makes sense. The BB has one hole and […]

In Episode 66, Mike and I called the episode 63, 65, and other numbers. All except number 66. So, every time I messed up the number, I let Siri give me a little help to make a correction to the number. We’re still breaking in our new podcast studio, and are working out the kinks […]

In Episode 85 of the Daily Ristretto, I made a quick correction to yesterday’s Daily Ristretto and talked about the Daily Coffee news’ Nick Brown reported on the addition of nine Regional Events to the US Aeropress Championships. Great stuff! -Jake

In this episode of “Yes or No” with Scott Rao, Scott tackled the question of green bean storage. The questions asked include addressing the dangers of rodent or insect infestation in green beans, the length of green bean storage, and what the best way of storing beans is. As usual, Scott knocks it completely out […]

In Episode 84 of the Daily Ristretto, I talked about Prima Coffee’s answer to my question on their site that originally came from a Manny G Recommendation in Episode 64 of the Orange Cactus Coffee Podcast. -Jake

In Episode 83, I talked about the challenges I’m facing in trying to master the Fellow Dripper, and the incredible flavors I’m getting from Lineage Coffee Roaster’s Rwanda Single Origin Coffee. -Jake

During Episode 64 of the Orange Cactus Coffee Podcast, Mike and I talked about business, service, the Huskee cups that are currently available on Kickstarter, and a wide variety of topics. Manny G Recommended an article about flat-bottom drippers by Michael Butterworth on Prima-coffee.com. The article was great, we just wished Michael would’ve made a little […]
