Orgin Interview
Hey guys,
Two questions:
1. Has any of those attending the Fest in Chicago has ever taken an orgin trip?
2. And out of those who have, anyone willing to sit down during the fest and talk about it?
I'm attempting to do a research paper for school about the affect the american coffee consumer has on individual farms and farmers. With the main thought focusing on Americans paying a fair price for their coffee so as to have positive influance at orgin.
And I guess I can add a third question, anyone have any thoughts on where I can find other resources? I know I may be able to find a lot at the fest, but it doesn't hurt to throw the question out there.
Thanks!
Cherie

what i've found is that the problem isn't traditional drip brewing - it's the airpots. anything sitting for more than half an hour gets funky tasting. if i brew a 2.2 litre airpot of our colombian at 60g/l and taste it immediately, it's really nice.…

I've got just enough regular decaf drinkers that I can't really eliminate it (as much as I'd love to, but these are the kind of customers that have been coming in for 16 years, so...). Yeah, I'm looking at the schematics now, and I'm thinking I can…
Atlas in Seattle. Craig is a q grade trainer and one of the more knowledgeable coffee guys I've met. Also Zephyr, (I deal with the Seattle office.) I haven't tried shrub but I like the concept.
keith pettigrew, an australian barista judge who trained me a bit in australia, told me to use espresso within 3 minutes of it being ground. that rule has never failed me. i dropped $1500 on an extra k-10 for decaf and it was worth every penny. to b…
excellent suggestions so far, i emailed the links to the roaster and we'll see what he thinks. this is the stuff i really dig - i'm never going to be able to taste every coffee but having specific information about the coffees i do taste helps so mu…
I have worked in a shop that did this, and even if you grind the decaf and take it straight to the machine, you still can't dial it in to pull decent shots. It would be better to have a cheaper lower volume grinder to dedicate to decaf if you are wo…
