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

In episode 125 of the Orange Cactus Coffee podcast, Mike and I gave a little World Cup challenge update and talked about our last week. It was chock full of coffee experiences, including coffee shops and coffee made at home for friends.

In episode 15 of Brew & Review, Mike and I tried a blind taste test of four coffees from Angel's Cup. Angels' Cup is a subscription service that allows you to explore new coffees and train your palate to appreciate new flavor profiles.

In episode 235, I talked about my vacation and why I missed the last two days of the Daily Ristretto. I also learned some great lessons from friends I hadn't seen in many years, including:

Share your dreams with your friends and family (they want to know)

After you build a little momentum, make a plan

In episode 124 of the Orange Cactus Coffee podcast, Mike and I talked about how coffee fuels your passions and enables you to accomplish what you want to. Whether that is by getting you highly caffeinated, or by giving you some time away from the cares of the world, coffee centers you.

In episode 14 of Brew & Review, Mike and I drink more Tim Wendelboe coffee. Instead of focusing in on the roaster, or the farm, we decide to zero in on the coffee varietals. It's so cool that the same farm grows different varieties of beans.

In episode 234 of the Daily Ristretto, I talked about passion, frustration, and hope while pursuing our dreams. These are the keys to uncovering your voice, according to Emily P. Freeman. Thank you James, for calling in and for being vulnerable. Also, thank you for letting me use your call on the air.

In episode 233 of the Daily Ristretto, I talked about some great articles that covered Califia Farms further dive into the cold brew market, what factors affect buying decisions, and what ice creams you should use for floats.

In episode 232 of the Daily Ristretto, I talked about self heating cans for Ready-To-Drink products and incredible coffee experiences on the other side of the world.

In episode 123 of the Orange Cactus Coffee podcast, Mike and I talked about bringing the ChainFruit to market, how palettes change or become fatigued while drinking coffee, and we make bold predictions on who will win the World Cup.

In episode 13 of Brew & Review, Mike and I take a look at the Breville Barista Express. I absolutely love having espresso at home, and would be heart broken to go back to living without it.
