AA Cafe #77

Brian@DoubleShotCoffee.com (Brian Franklin) — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 16:47:45 PST

One of Tulsa's greatest musicians and most interesting persons, Brian Haas from Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey tells us about the way shape affects sound and taste and how the five senses work together to give us each a unique experience. Mark Brown and I talk about how it all relates to coffee.

Jason Perry of JasonPerryPhotography.com tells us about how cameras work and I try to understand them by relating it all back to coffee. Mark Brown, writer and editor and publisher of the Argent Fork quarterly helps us get through it all. And of course, it's all brought to you by DoubleShotCoffee.com.

AA Cafe #75

Brian@DoubleShotCoffee.com (Brian Franklin) — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 19:39:00 PDT

Mark Brown and I ramble about about my many travels, coffees I found along the way, some advice about coffee, a little info about Costa Rican micro-lots and the Gesha variety. And much, much more...

AA Cafe #74

Brian@DoubleShotCoffee.com (Brian Franklin) — Fri, 13 May 2011 10:00:42 PDT

Jonathan Showman in his debut podcast. We talk about making coffee while you're traveling. With a little audio from my road trip to Moab. And a live demo on how to make coffee when all you have is coffee beans and water.

AA Cafe #73

Brian@DoubleShotCoffee.com (Brian Franklin) — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 11:53:21 PST

Garth and I talk passion. What is passion? Are you passionate? Am I? I interview Father Kastl of the Diocese of Tulsa and Mark Brown of the Tulsa World and Argentfork. A priest and a wordsmith. More about motivations than coffee, but I thought it was an interesting listen. Don't miss the 7th Birthday of the DoubleShot Coffee Company March 5, 2011.

AA Cafe #72

Brian@DoubleShotCoffee.com (Brian Franklin) — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 12:27:56 PST

Michael Feamster! It's Michael's last podcast... at least for a while. He's off to Spain for school. But before he leaves, I wrangled him into recording another podcast, where we talk about weather. How weather affects coffee at the farm level. We discuss a bit of my last trip to Colombia, and Michael's upcoming trip.

AA Cafe #71

Brian@DoubleShotCoffee.com (Brian Franklin) — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 10:03:10 PDT

Garth and I start off a new era of AA Cafe podcasting talking about expensive coffees. Nekisse, La Minita, El Boton Natural and Las Animas Natural, Aricha and Beloya, Geisha, Kona, JBM... I got a great interview with Joseph Brodsky of Ninety Plus. Thanks to him and all the people who helped with our new AA Cafe intro.

AA Cafe #70

Brian@DoubleShotCoffee.com (Brian Franklin) — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 07:54:00 PDT

This is it. I have the answer. Well, I have a hypothesis anyway. We discuss. Threaded throughout are conversations with Isaiah, with Michael, and with Gabe from Oren's Daily Roast in NYC. Grab yourself a pbr, sit back, and listen.

AA Cafe #69

Brian@DoubleShotCoffee.com (Brian Franklin) — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 16:21:57 PDT

It's the long lost audio from the SCAA Convention in Anaheim. Gabe Smenhnjkiuoi, Isaiah Sheese, Jeremy Tooker, and myself. We laughed, we cried, we made fun of each other. We made fun of decaf coffee. We made smarmy remarks about some other prominent chaps. All in good fun.

AA Cafe #68

Brian@DoubleShotCoffee.com (Brian Franklin) — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 09:36:28 PDT

Back on the horse. Garth and I talk about iced coffee, return to COFFEE NEWS!, Shelley Olds and how badass she is on a bike, and we discuss the expansion of the DoubleShot.

AA Cafe #63

Brian@DoubleShotCoffee.com (Brian Franklin) — Thu, 06 May 2010 07:38:45 PDT

This is the one we skipped back in January. Isaiah, Garth and I recorded this podcast when they returned from the South Central Regional Barista Competition in Austin. Isaiah made me promise not to post it until after the USBC in Anaheim. Now that it's over, it's time to make this thing live. This is by far the longest podcast in AA Cafe history- and the first time we've recorded with three people. Lots of talking. If you are curious what the barista competitions are all about, this is the inside track... with lots of analysis.

And for the record, these guys were purposely baiting me, just trying to get me to blow my top. And it worked.

Brian@DoubleShotCoffee.com (Brian Franklin) — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 12:50:40 PDT

Garth and I... are the universal health care of coffee podcasting? This is sort of a rambling podcast about random tidbits. The top ten list of worst customers, your local meat market, new coffees from Cafe Imports, Cristina Garces, and Ninety Plus, a new book about Ethiopia, DoubleShot web and store changes, and our girl Shelley Olds!

AA Cafe #66

Brian@DoubleShotCoffee.com (Brian Franklin) — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 17:03:38 PST

It's Newguy's first podcast. Everyone welcome Michael to the DoubleShot team. We discuss various brewing methods using the Aeropress and the theories behind them. Also, Hoffmann's blog, Geoff Watts' statement about naturals, and our position with the Colombian naturals. And a surprise phone interview with James. We're the Emily Oak of coffee podcasting. For sure.

AA Cafe #65

Brian@DoubleShotCoffee.com (Brian Franklin) — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 14:06:53 PST

Garth and I are back on the mics. THIS time we don't talk about women. Hardly. We talk about peaberry coffee seeds, new coffees at the DoubleShot, Newguy at the DoubleShot, The DoubleShot's 6th Bday, SHELLEY OLDS!, Jennifer Iannolo and the Food Philosophy podcast (www.foodphilosophy.com), Doug Zell and his blog... Man, we talked about a lot of stuff. A lot of people. But not much about ladies. LADIES! :)

AA Cafe #64

Brian@DoubleShotCoffee.com (Brian Franklin) — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 14:09:21 PST

It's not that great, mostly because I recorded by myself. But I wanted to talk about Haiti and some other stuff. Listen and then email me.

AA Cafe #62

Brian@DoubleShotCoffee.com (Brian Franklin) — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 14:31:40 PST

Podcast interview from Colombia with Ariel Montoya and Cristina Garces.

AA Cafe #61

Brian@DoubleShotCoffee.com (Brian Franklin) — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 11:57:08 PDT

Garth... Bjorklund and I join forces on AA Cafe Seisenta y Uno with the pact that we'd only talk about things related to coffee. It was hard and we didn't cover much ground. But we had fun and got a few things off our chests. Of particular interest: The Perfect Cappuccino and our coffee experiments in Colombia.

AA Cafe #60

Brian@DoubleShotCoffee.com (Brian Franklin) — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 09:58:22 PDT

Recorded during our trip to Colombia June 16-23. This is the longest podcast I'll ever post. I promise. It's an hour and a half, and the first part we recorded has poor quality due to the echo of the room and the ambient noise of vehicles and rain. But if you have trouble sleeping, the rain soundtrack with the droll of our voices should do the trick. It seems like Isaiah and I told every damn detail of our trip, but that isn't the case. It just seems like it. So if you want to hear all about it, here it is. Pretty much unedited. I hope you find it interesting and educational.

AA Cafe #59

Brian@DoubleShotCoffee.com (Brian Franklin) — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 15:04:16 PDT

Garth! My country music compadre. Garth and Brian go old-school on AA Cafe to bring back Coffee News. This podcast is ridiculous. From steak to coffee to whisky to bike racing to latte art comps to women... We're all over the place. We should've talked about coffee.

AA Cafe #58

Brian@DoubleShotCoffee.com (Brian Franklin) — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 13:22:11 PDT

Jason and I finally got around to podcasting about our trip to Colombia. It's a long podcast, and I'm sorry. I felt like we recorded half of a portafilter podcast or something. Many thanks to the good people at La Minita- Drew, Russ, Fernando, Jim, and lots of others. And to Kike and Vivian from Empresas de Narino (and Antioquia). And much thanks to Cristina Garces and all the people in Concordia who made us feel welcome and safe. Thanks Alfredo Correa for the great coffee!

Music from a local band called La Panther Happens.

Brian@DoubleShotCoffee.com (Brian Franklin) — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 10:32:28 PDT

I know, I know. It's been a while.

We apologize. A lot has been going on around the DoubleShot lately. This is a podcast Isaiah and I recorded while in Portland, Oregon. Isaiah was competing in the US Barista Championship. We even include interviews with the former hosts of the late Portafilter podcast: Nick Cho and Jay Caragay. We promise to record more often.

AA Cafe #56

Brian@DoubleShotCoffee.com (Brian Franklin) — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 07:16:55 PST

Isaiah and I try our best to catch up on the last few weeks in a short amount of time. We talk about the South Central Regional Barista Competition in Austin. We talk about coffee that is "too fresh" and listen to snippets from Michael Sivetz speech at the SCAA, "Stale Coffees Are Not Specialty Coffees." Isaiah is quoted in (Too?) Fresh Cup Magazine concerning latte art. And we touch on our new coffees- Aricha 10 and Beloya 12, our upcoming trip to Colombia, and Ferraris' film "The Perfect Cappuccino" coming to Tulsa.

AA Cafe #55

Brian@DoubleShotCoffee.com (Brian Franklin) — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 17:27:55 PDT

Isaiah and I talk about the past few weeks: DoubleShot Latte Art Comp, Seattle, CoffeeFest, Victrola, and Ferraris' film in Kansas City. Isaiah requested that I play some 80's Christian Rock, so I couldn't resist digging for some of the old jr. high favorite lipsync tunes. Oh, and our podcast wouldn't be complete without... Mark Prince.

LT100 Jogcast (aacafe54)

Brian@DoubleShotCoffee.com (Brian Franklin) — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 07:57:00 PDT

This podcast ain't about coffee. I recorded another jogcast during the Leadville Trail 100. This is the audio from the race and a little post-race commentary. Rough.

AA Cafe #53

Brian@DoubleShotCoffee.com (Brian Franklin) — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 16:56:37 PDT

Lots of commentary on this podcast about Starbucks and Clover; about Nick Cho and Murky Coffee; about the perceived differences between peaberries and flat beans; about the Leadville 100 and our fundraising effort for Coffee Kids.
Listen up. Jason and Brian rock the mic (or whatever).
