  • 22:13 Druunk!! On others' dimes! Should come to Easton more often. #
  • 09:37 Should I live Twitter the Organics and sustainability round table in Easton? Mark Inman, rob Stephen, Oswaldo asevero & more #
  • 09:41 For starters: we in specialty coffee need to remember that producers need to sell all their coffee to actually make money #
  • 09:43 Just getting lucky on a specialized lot fetching a very high price, there will still be "not so great" coffee from the same farm #
  • 09:50 Q: how has commodity coffee helped farms at origin? #
  • 09:51 A: if commodity buyers can separate grades of coffee, and we sell it all, that's good #
  • 09:59 A lot of roasters are doing a lot of good work in coffee, but we need to help by investing in good practice rather than premiums for scores #
  • 10:05 Kim from ccc says certifications can be a great primer for farmers and coorperatives, but don't pay premiums for coffee with basic certs #
  • 10:08 Let's not talk about why certifications are missing, but rather talking about the coffee itself #
  • 10:12 Organic production really impacts coffee farmers, negatively (very low yeilds), but creates a healthier work environment #
  • 10:12 Also, high quality organics can fetch almost twice the price per pound #
  • 10:16 Consumers in California can go to the farm so they don't need the "real" certs; much harder to send consumers to coffee producers #
  • 10:20 Tried but true: Every coffee has a story. Try to send the farm to the consumer. #
  • 10:22 Producers and consumers need to talk more. #
  • 10:23 Ie, not just buyers, importers, Baristas, but the end people we're trying to sell to. #
  • 10:33 The industry needs to start creating a measurable vocabulary that can be used as a tool, from consumer to producer & back #
  • 10:56 Oswaldo is talking about his farm now: prime locale on the edge of a plateau which creates a wind pattern that regulates temperature #
  • 10:57 Everything on his farm is done by hand; last year they had over 600 pickers at harvest #
  • 10:59 @mike_white pointed out I wasn't naming names, and also stealing his thunder. Apologies on both counts, but I hope y'all learned something. #
  • 11:29 Rob Stephen of coffee solutions says: you have to learn the rules before you can break them #
  • 11:33 Ron says to spend some time drinking bad coffee & learning why it's bad (could NOT agree more, especially for roaster) #
  • 11:34 How do we define quality? Proper extraction, characteristics, freshness, absence of defects #
  • 11:36 What is specialty coffee? "tastes great, no defects." Ted lingle #
  • 11:37 (this is all rob, btw) #
  • 11:39 old school roasters: how do I make 17 containers of coffee taste the same? Consistency, no defects, no foreign aromas. #
  • 11:43 study only "quality"; impacts your credibilty, your purchasing power & quality, your affecting the supply chain, instruction to others #
  • 11:48 Defect coffee samples!!! #
  • 11:51 Everyone who works in coffee should qgrade or scaa judge certify to help establish clear vocabulary at the international level. #
  • 11:52 Qgrading: 5 days of hell, one lifetime of quiet confidence. #
  • 11:54 First cup: mold, tastes musty & sour #
  • 11:57 Hmm, second one is hard, Ellie just whispered to mark that it's phenolic. Tastes salty, nutty, dry mouthfeel, airpotty? #
  • 11:59 Ok, rob says it's medicinal. #
  • 12:02 Rob is done now, what a shame! That was great. #
  • 12:40 @benexhale always a tough project. Did Danielle tell you about my idea to a Barista music mix exchange? #
  • 13:09 Ellie Matuszak is doing an awesome job of talking about the 12 steps for espresso. David Latourell in assist. #
