S1 Episode 6: #KillTheKCup Pt. 1

Episode 6

This installment of The BoiseCoffee Podcast continues a long tradition here on the site: talking about all the reasons you should avoid Keurig coffee makers and the brew they produce. This is the first of a two-part episode, and I focus on the history of Keurig and the math behind why it is an extremely expensive way to brew coffee at home.

If you’d like to go deeper, check out  my short diatribe called “It’s Time to Kill the Keurig” here. I updated it in March, and it succinctly lays out why I think Keurig is poisonous to consumers.

If you haven’t already, please subscribe to my podcast on iTunes here. If you like what you hear, I’d greatly appreciate a rating and review there as well! Have a tremendous rest of your week.

S1 Episode 3: Home Brewing

Episode 3: Home brewing image

Episode 3 of the BoiseCoffee Podcast centers around the five essentials for home brewing:

  1. A high quality burr grinder
  2. Freshly roasted, delicious coffee beans
  3. A way to brew
  4. Some type of water kettle
  5. A kitchen scale that reads in grams

While there are many other elements and things to consider when brewing coffee at home, getting these five things right will set you up for success and get you a great cup of coffee.

At the beginning of the podcast I discuss coffee news this week. The article on Kopi Luwak is here, and the C-Net article on caffeine hungry beetles is here.
