The Audio Cafe: for Baristas, Coffeehouses, Coffee LoversAuthor: Levi Andersen
A weekly podcast inspired by coffee and hosted by Seattle native, Levi Andersen (@Boyrista). Levi has been making coffee since career-day (age six) and still loves learning and talking about trends (old or new) within Specialty Coffee. Topics on this show range from: how to source green coffee (or find the perfect roaster), what goes into staffing or training a coffeehouse, what customers want and why, and we will even talk about tea from time to time. Designed to compliment your pour over or cappuccino as you listen and learn from the top leaders in the coffee industry. The voices you hear on this podcast are from real people who bleed crema, like: cafe owners, coffee growers in South America, people who dream about roast profiles, baristas who smell like coffee even when they get home, and managers and chefs sharing real experience and priceless advice. If your hands touch coffee then your ears deserve to listen to this podcast. We cover big issues like water qualitys effect espresso and what that means for the average joe and Single Origin connoisseur and these lessons are worth their own weight in Organic, Fair Trade, Rainforest Alliance, Panama Esmerelda Especial Mario Carnaval green beans.

ACP 073: Visiting Trade Shows & Making Friends
Friday, 5 April, 2019
Big tips for walking trade show events: 1) Bring snacks, like nuts 2) Bring water 3) Know why you’re there 4) Seek out hashtags ahead of time 5) Volunteer at the event, for an exhibitor, or at an after party Time 1:40 Zack Lyman (ZackLyman.com Instagram @ZachLymanPodcast)), lover of Hot Wings and Dr. Pepper, employee at DiedrichRoasters.com I met Zack in Portland, “I walked up to you and I was like Steve Martin” because I was wearing a 7-piece all white bunny suit 2:50 How can people get the most out of a trade show? Zach Lyman says: (1) know what you’re looking for. Or let me know sort of what you want to know. (2) Don’t be embarrassed, ask, we all need to learn. (3) I’m here to educate and have fun, don’t be scared to say hi. Time 6:00 Lee Gordon (Instagram @LeeGordon), from Urnex likes to walk the floor and get a lay of the land. Then circle back to what he wants to see. Great idea, especially if you don’t have time to see everything. Time 7:30 Derrick Wessels (Instagram @coffee_derrick) from Beagle Coffee is BACK! 1) I’ll work a booth to cover flights. 2) I don’t bring business cards, I bring swag like hats. Sarah Allen (9 mins) is queen of swag-hats. 3) Ship your winnings home. 4) Things can ship en route there, be very careful. 5) If its within 10 or so hours to drive, it may just be easier to drive. Like if you need groceries. 6) SNACKS, Bobos Bars from Boulder. Levi’s fav is almonds and string cheese. Something about that lighting and talking makes ya thirsty! 7) Beware of stains on booth counters, things are dirty. 8) How do you change your mind-set? Concentrate on breathing. Some people listen to music in their headphones. Some speakers look at the room from all angles. 14:00 planning outfits to wear on the trade show floor. Easy to move around, water resistant clothes if possible. Thanks to my friends and FreeMusicArchive.org artists Daniel_Barbiero_-_06_-_Emanation & Monplaisir_-_15_-_Bass
