Comment on James Hoffmann’s Current Iced Coffee Method by Mike White

Jay – The first time I tried it tasted too strong but I was unable to MoJo it. If I had used MoJo, I suspect the numbers would have been high. nnFor the second cup I didn’t taste it until the ice melted. But I always taste it before I use the MoJo to prevent prejudice. In this instance I took two samples (pre and post ice melting) and set them aside until I finished tasting.

Mike – not trying to give you a hard time, but how did the coffee taste? You stated that you tasted it but then immediately stated that the resulting brew was “probably” too strong. Is that to say it tasted too strong? Or that you expected it to Mojo at “too high” a number and, therefore, “too strong”?nnYour writings give the impression that you did not really taste the coffee until the ice had melted or that your expectation of the taste of the coffee had been prejudiced by the Mojo numbers.

The company that supplies and sells the coffee to Ben & Jerry’s here used to be a client of mine and subsequently we contract roast some of their coffee at AIR. They asked me to conduct a few training sessions on top of the coffee supply to set a standard for their espresso production and presentation.

Just out of curiosity, how did you get involved in their training?

Interesting. Ben & Jerry’s only arrived in Australia at the beginning of 2010 but served Fair Trade espresso coffee (no drip) from the first day (I did their initial staff training session.) I wonder if they were testing the concept here first.

Ice Cream … and coffee? This smells like one of those decisions that companies later regret, downsizing or selling off their side-businesses to return to their “core values” the minute their stock prices suffer.nnThe only dimension that makes it somewhat relevant to their product line is, as you mention, the feel-good social angle. Unilever has done a good job of figuring how to sell social guilt relief to customers. Still, I don’t see this as sustainable under the Ben & Jerry’s brand.

I swear if I see one more navel-gazing self-indulgent pour-over video infatuated with the 1830s technology, I’m gonna vomit.

I was wondering if you have any updates on the working conditions at Gorilla Coffee since they reopened in April. I didn’t notice any new stories or comments on the coffee wars since that time.rnrnAre the new employees as unhappy as those that walked out? Did the walk out have any effect on the owner and her partner? rnrnThanks for any information you have.rn
