  • Minimal Intervention Roasting Doesn’t Exist | COFFEE BREAK!
    So … what does it actually take to become a great coffee roaster? This week on Coffee Break, Rohan and Ben unpack their chat with roasting legend Anne Cooper (Equilibrium Master Roasters) - and it gets fiery. From why the industry desperately needs clearer roasting standards, to the myth of “espresso vs filter roasts”, to whether “minimal intervention roasting” is just a fairytale, nothing is off the table. We also dive into: - UC Davis’ new research on universal roast colour standards - Dark roast redemption - yes, good dark roasts do exist - Why coffee bag labels might be alienating your customers - And whether the industry needs more open debates to stop gatekeeping knowledge It’s roasting, reimagined - and it might just change how you look at your next bag of beans. Coffee Break is your weekly inside scoop into the coffee community - roasting debates, barista tips, hospitality horror stories, and the industry secrets no one else shares.

  • Are Omni Roasts Lazy - or the Future? | COFFEE BREAK!
    So you’re a roaster wondering: seasonal blends, omni roasts, or naturals - where do you stand? Well … start by listening to this Coffee Break! In this episode, the crew unpack their recent chat with Klaus Thomsen of Coffee Collective, diving into some of the big roasting debates: Should roasters only serve seasonal blends, or is consistency king? Are omni roasts just lazy - or a practical solution for espresso + filter? Why do people still die on the “washed vs. natural” hill? And could infused coffees actually have a place in specialty? So if you’re a roaster, barista, or coffee nerd who loves the behind-the-scenes of roasting decisions, this Coffee Break is for you. Coffee Break is your weekly inside scoop into the coffee community. Everything from on the fly barista tips, honest and unfiltered cafe reviews (eek), hospitality stories and gate kept coffee secrets.
