Podcasting from murky coffee, Arlington, VA... and Las Vegas, NV
Jay's in Vegas! Thank God for cellphones. Quick note: we mention that we're gonna do a call-in to the Roasters' Guild annual retreat... and it never happened. We'll catch up with the roaster-folks later, but we should have explained that but we didn't. Oh well. Good stuff otherwise.
Show highlights:
- Jay in Vegas
- Nick responds to coffee geeks
- call-in with Mark Inman, with discussion about organic farming, possible innovations in coffee production for espresso, etc. Information overload! Great stuff!
- a very special and exclusive and important announcement from Mr. Inman!

I know this podcast was probabily initially intended to be for baristas by baristas...but i think it would be safe to say that the listenship has expanded and now included enthusiasts and consumers...
I don't think its very usefull to disparage your listeners as quite likely some of those listeners are patrons of your store too ... While you can indeed stick to your original strategy calling a listener a "Dumbass" is not particularly professional and not very intelligent since you wrote yourself about code of conducts
While you might not like enthusiasts, we do exist and don't apprecite that kind of negativity from so-called Professionals in the industry
You sorta prove my point, Mr. Wallis.
I didn't call a listener a "dumbass" as you say... it was someone who left a smarmy comment in response to my article on CG. Folks like you will come to the table with a certain perspective and bias... and if you read the iTunes podcast description, it reads, "If you're a barista, coffee professional, or if you're a coffee-lover who's ready for the 'red pill,' take a listen." The "red pill" is obviously taken from the movie "The Matrix," and if you've seen that movie, you know that the "red pill" isn't for everyone. Sometimes the truth indeed hurts.
I should have added, and may add on a future rant, that our podcast is much like the conversations that might occur in a high-school teachers' lounge. An eavesdropping student (or enthusiast or consumer) might find that the ensuing conversation extends beyond that person's 'comfort zone.'
However, those teachers, and we professionals, appreciate our time with our peers, being able to converse freely without having to play the part of "The Professional." It's probably why when we get together in-person, half the time we're imbibing.
So right back at ya, Mr. Wallis: if the listenership has expanded, that's great. While we're candid, we have nothing to hide. The onus is on the listener, be they a coffee professional or enthusiast/consumer, to try and understand the context of the discussion. Don't like it? Don't listen.
The target audience of the podcast has been established. Our respective businesses are about serving the enthusiasts and consumers. The podcast is most definitely not.
I never said (or meant) that I do "not like enthusiasts." I was talking about a certain type of enthusiast. And if some of the listeners turn out to be "patrons of my store," then let me worry about the repercussions.
That being said, thanks for your comment.
Hey, Nick --
Your podcasts are really fascinating from the perspective of looking into the small business -- particularly the less-formal banter between you and Jay about HR issues, employees, getting sued, making equipment and product purchases, whatever.
I have a strong interest in business and coffee -- and I'd much rather listen to two guys (or more) in the thick of it than read some pundit or "expert" talk about it.
Anyhow -- keep up the great work.
Don't get me wrong ... i'm really trying hard to think of a way of expressing how the podcast (coffeegeeks too to be honest) seems to be taking that elitist tone ... i don't want to use the word and i think its a bit strong
I discovered your podcast via coffeegeek and am a newly converted to enthusiast myself...
I enjoy listening to the 2 podcasts and do find use in them and indeed it has inspired me to write to many highstreet/franchise coffee shops in the UK to tell them about their poor product (these companies are in starbucks market)
I like the direct, tongue-in-cheek attitude you use in the cast and i will keep listening ... was just expressiong an opinion
Thanks
Hi Nick and Jay,
I'm also an enthusiast, but I respect your candor. It seems as though everyone these days is so concerned with not offending anyone that most content is devoid of, well, content. Please keep the highly informative and entertaining podcasts coming.
Hey "2nd hand smoke" guy... if you're gonna mouth-off, have the balls to state your name. Otherwise, stfu.
Hey Nick and Jay, just wanted to say the podcast is awesome. I agree with you on the whole professional vs the enthusiast take for the show, as a recent enthusiast turned barista, it makes a lot of sense, and I know now that I sure didn't know then what I do now (and even that lacks... often). People need to give it a break sometimes... Keep it up!
Hello Nick and Jay.
Loving your work.
I am not a professional (well not anymore - I used to be a Barrista during Uni) but I appreciate your show because it is great to hear about 'the world' behind the counter. I think it is good for consumer to listen (just listen, mind you!) because the more aware they are of how the Barrista is trying to raise the bar - the more likely they will respect the profession.
It could be worse, you could live over here in the UK where the norm is considered a cup full of instant coffee. Ah the land of hope and glory....
Just a thought.
Keep up the good work.
Nick....
Good cast...I enjoyed it
I did know you were talkin' about me...
I appreciate your point about your focus of your podcast being barista's and shop owners....
Honestly it never occured to me even though you probably have said it a couple of times....
Now I feel like i am listening in on some backroom special meeting...
**pretty cool**
Personally I just think it is cool to interact with anyone that shares some of the same passions I do... namely coffee
Keep up the good work... it makes the work day fly by....
I'm a coffee enthusiast and not a barista but I've really enjoyed the last couple of podcasts (the massacred version of the intro I did for CG that was on podcast 8 made me laugh too). I have no problem listening in to something made by baristas for baristas. The last two shows didn't waffle as much as some of the earlier ones which was great too (that's what normally puts me off more than hardcore barista talk).
The interview with Mark Inman was great, definitely something I'll come back to again and again.
I wanted to jump in with an idea on why charbucks ended up at the top of that user poll while the resturant list seemed to be full of quality places. I think one of the things is that most normal people, even people who like good coffee would think about high end resturants as somewhere that they would go to every now and again as a special occasion (aniversary, birthday, etc) where a coffee shop is more of a place that you go every day. Therefore when you ask people which is their favorite coffee shop they'll pick the place they go to most often (thus the lack of taste used by joe public) where if you ask them about their favorite resturant they're unlikely to name McDonalds or the place they grab their lunch every day when they're at work. Therefore you're not going to see people name the best coffee shops unless they drink there regularly. If I'm right then it sucks but would mean that you're not going to end up on a level playing field for a long time to come.
Great show guys (Nick was even ok on his own) keep it up.
yes, I know it's a bit late, but I have not had a lot of time to listen to podcasts recently(for shame!!)
This podcast was especially wonderful, in my opinion. The down side to leaving Taylor Maid is that I no longer get to listen to Mark Inman on a daily basis.
He's amazing. But now I have this podcast saved and can play it any ol'time.
Vote Inman in 2006
...and his wife, Liz is a righteous coffee revolutionary, too.
Good stuff....(sure miss those California tomatoes right about now)
pf podcasts, I heart you.
i know i'm late with this comment... blame the guy who stole my laptop. i think that this was probably one of the best podcasts to date... just my opinion. every thing that mark talked about was so engaging... so in depth... it makes me wish so many things. if only... if only i could afford to go to origin and learn about it in depth... if only my shop was up and running already so i could do a little more with what i just learnt. dare to dream. also 40 second shot pulls?! that's frigging crazy. keep it up guys.
party on nick. party on jay. party on mark.
