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

In episode 258 of the Daily Ristretto, I talked about Cold Brew. I'm conducting some experiments, companies are investing heavily in new technology, and many of you are having a tough go of getting good cold brew at home.

In episode 257 of the Daily Ristretto, I talked about three articles I recently read form Johnny Cupcakes, Nick Brown, and Honda Wang. Johnny talks about his humble beginnings, Nick shares details on Mojo's multi-million dollar deal in New Zealand, and Honda reports from NYC on unionizing the service industry.

In episode 256 of the Daily Ristretto, I talked about my recent visit to the Chandler Ocotillo location of Press Coffee and read some of their Google reviews.

In episode 255 of the Daily Ristretto, I examined the Inner Core shipment that arrived from Tectonic Coffee. It came with two bags of coffee: one with a red colored QR code label and the other with a blue colored QR code label. After I took the pictures, I couldn't remember which one was which.

In episode 254 of the Daily Ristretto, I talked about Devine Coffee's single origin Colombian coffee that Mike and I tasted recently. It was delicious and stood up well to cream and sugar. It is one of three offerings they currently have in stock.

In episode 253 of the Daily Ristretto, I talked about getting some Aeropress Dice from Jennifer Ferreira in the UK. The dice are made by James Hoffman. We've also received a lot of orders lately, and we wanted to thank you for your support.

In episode 252 I drink Jarmans Craft Coffee on the air. It's not a full brew and review, but it was very good. I brewed both the original and barrel aged single origin Colombia Narino with a Hario V60. The barrel aged is not my favorite, but I could certainly taste the bourbon. 

My favorite part is drinking the same coffee in two different ways. If you enjoy whiskey and craft alcoholic beverages, this is a no-brainer: get in on this limited time offering by clicking the link to Jarmans Craft Coffee below.

In episode 251 of the Daily Ristretto, I talked about the last coffee shop I visited during my stay in Phoenix- Press Coffee in Scottsdale. Of course, I'm a Press Fan Boy, but it only seemed fair to read some of their bad press on Google Reviews as well.

In episode 250 of the Daily Ristretto, I talked about three of the coffee shops I visited (and tried to visit) during my weeklong stay in Cave Creek. I didn't talk about my Press Coffee visit, but I will in episode 251. Enjoy!

In episode 249 of the Daily Ristretto, I drank a naturally processed Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee from Theodore's Coffee Roasters. It was a gift from a friend of the show- Eric Nadler. Thank you so much, Eric, for your kindness to us. I loved the coffee, and so did Mike. He had some yesterday but didn't join me for the DR today.
