Mark has Beata and Julie in the studio, asking questions about the origins of coffee, milk and sugar in coffee, drink recipes and about the importance of grinding coffee. Mark tries his best to answer correctly, but gets a few facts slightly wrong.

Back from a long break, Mark explains the delay between podcasts, says goodbye to a former CGer and delves into 2 more interviews covering the Brasil Cup of Excellence with Andrew Barnett of Ecco Cafe and Susie Spindler from Cup of Excellence.

Mark has Angie Lof, head trainer from JJ Bean House of Coffee sit in talking about her trip to Ethiopia, then it's all Cup of Excellence, with the record breaking Brasil Auction and an interview with Instaurator, one of the buyers.

Awesome show with Phuong Tran sitting in on the entire thing. News with Jeanette Chan to start, then all Phuong as we discuss the USBC, WBC, Vancouver coffee, and much more.

Beata and Mark do a post Christmas podcast from the Sunshine coast, with some coffee talk, a tip of the podcast about roast dates, and a little help from Hoops and Yoyo.

Mark finally succumbs and gives his top picks for coffee makers, grinders, espresso machines, and assorted coffee gadgetry and doodads. The first of two pre-Christmas shows.

This week Mark is joined by Brad Ford of Wicked Cafe where they will talk about the SCAA, how retailers are served by the organization, an ambush phone call with Doug Zell, tasting Intelly coffees, then talk about restaurant coffee.

In this episode of the CoffeeGeek Podcast, Mark flies solo, talking about the La Marzocco GS3 open house, temperature stability in espresso, a rant about getting back to the quality of coffees, and emails answered.

In the gold er silver, er something podcast, we do a major tasting of Batdorf and Bronson coffee with Beata, what's new in the CoffeeGeek labs incl the La Marzocco GS3, and news and CoffeeFest talk with Jeanette Chan.
