S6: Coffee Break Interlude · Coffee People Podcast

• 0:08
  A good morning, everyone. Welcome to the roast West Coast
• 0:11
  coffee podcast. I'm Ryan Walt.
• 0:13
  And this is the show where I bring you the stories of coffee
• 0:16
  professionals entrepreneurship and coffee education.
• 0:19
  You have likely noticed that we're currently on an unexpected
• 0:22
  interlude near the end of season 6, but the show will return with
• 0:26
  a brand new interview on Thursday November 3rd.
• 0:29
  That's one week. From today with an interview,
• 0:31
  with the team behind moon, go coffee in Orange County and just
• 0:35
  because I haven't been dropping shows, doesn't mean that there
• 0:38
  hasn't been anything going on in the world of coffee.
• 0:41
  There are certainly been way more than the few notes.
• 0:43
  I'm going to share with you today.
• 0:45
  Starting with wholesome coffee, a San Diego based roaster, that
• 0:49
  has launched a plant-based Just Add Water latte powder.
• 0:53
  I'm hoping to have the founders on the show soon to explain how
• 0:55
  it works and how they make it but essentially it seems as
• 0:59
  simple as Mixing water and their powder together to get a
• 1:02
  flavored lot. A vibe and the flavors are
• 1:05
  interesting to say the least to they include banana bread,
• 1:08
  chocolate, peanut butter and blueberry Maple not exactly
• 1:11
  traditional latte. Flavors as a black drip coffee
• 1:15
  person. I'm not their target market but
• 1:17
  I am curious to give it a try, looking back a bit.
• 1:21
  One of this shows, earliest guest was Matt De LaRosa.
• 1:24
  He's the founder and head Roaster at ironsmith coffee and
• 1:27
  Encinitas and he recently experienced something Thing that
• 1:30
  I greatly feared when I was running bars and restaurants
• 1:33
  just a day or two after I stopped by for a cup of coffee
• 1:36
  and interaction between Matt. And to Community member behind
• 1:39
  his shop turned violent and he was grazed by a bullet.
• 1:43
  Matt is okay. And the details on the
• 1:45
  interaction are still cloudy. I don't want to make any
• 1:47
  presumptions on how it all unfolded, but I'll take a moment
• 1:51
  to stand on my soapbox. The proliferation of guns in
• 1:54
  public is one of the main reasons I stopped being a
• 1:57
  bartender. Open carry laws.
• 2:00
  Past in Wisconsin, where I was managing a local bar and almost
• 2:03
  immediately Hospitality workers were expected to engage with
• 2:07
  arms. Patrons who had been drinking?
• 2:09
  It was not fun, and it did not feel safe.
• 2:12
  And before you dismiss that as a Midwest, only issue here in
• 2:16
  Southern California, while running a craft beer and
• 2:19
  barbecue Mecca near the beach. I was threatened on multiple
• 2:22
  occasions and the threat of various violent acts for such
• 2:26
  simple and fractions as offering someone a coffee.
• 2:29
  P or cutting them off when they clearly had too much to drink,
• 2:33
  the beauty of hospitality is that those of us in the
• 2:36
  industry, get to create an experience and engage with an
• 2:39
  Untold number of new and interesting.
• 2:41
  People almost every day. We meet humans from all walks of
• 2:45
  life. We often hear their stories and
• 2:47
  ultimately we have the opportunity to serve, which
• 2:50
  offers its own reward. All of that is to say there are
• 2:54
  assholes out there. So please be nice to your
• 2:57
  Baristas, your bartenders and servers.
• 3:00
  Staff at your favorite drive through and you know, just be
• 3:02
  nice when you can and respectful when you can't and know that on
• 3:06
  any given day, those in the service industry may experience,
• 3:09
  both the best and the worst of humanity stepping down from that
• 3:14
  Soap Box until we drop that next episode.
• 3:17
  Please check out roast westcoast.com and drink some
• 3:19
  good coffee from this shows. Favorite industry Partners like
• 3:23
  Cafe litter and steady-state, coffee roasting in a great
• 3:26
  example of how local coffee. Professional support, each
• 3:29
  other. I met Alden Hosiery, the
• 3:31
  operator of Cafe latere at steady state for coffee, just
• 3:34
  yesterday, Elliot Reineke. The founder of steady state made
• 3:38
  an appearance as well. And I have to say, he's looking
• 3:41
  a lot like the musician. Father, John, Misty, these days
• 3:44
