Really enjoying the podcasts Mike!! Interesting interview here, and very applicable listening for me just now, as I am in the process of making the transition from home roaster to micro business roaster.
I agree wholeheartedly on the restaurant coffee issue and think as consumers we need to put the squeeze on any establishment offering coffee, and demand quality every time we order in the same way we don’t tolerate corked wine or tough steak.
I would love to be surprised and see a menu that offers a recently roasted single origin espresso, or a thoughtfully designed filter blend prepared fresh at your table, and with the current prices tags this is something restaurants can do without major alterations to selling price. Mark up per cup may take a slight hit, but in doing so they would be setting themselves apart as an eatery that doesn’t drop quality on anything they associate their name with.
Hopefully if more like minded roasters can change restaurant owners thinking, then the bar will be raised and their competitors will follow suit. Great to hear Pat and John are having some success in this area!!
Loving the websites I am discovering via Twitter, and yours is one of the best!! As i only found you yesterday, I look forward to exploring this site further.

Nice work with the podcast’s Mike! I like that you are mixing them up with people all over the coffee spectrum, I think that is a good idea to keep. Coffee and Conservation is a great blog, maybe someone from there would be a good podcast: http://www.coffeehabitat.com/
Mike, thanks for the kind words! I still have a lot to learn about podcast, but I’m having a blast talking to all of these awesome coffee people.
I’ve been reading Coffee & Conversation for a while now, I’ll have to see if I can make that happen. Good idea!
