Busting Coffee Myths

Dear Listener... We asked what YOU wanted to hear when we returned, and we LISTENED... so we're kicking off Series Three by busting some coffee myths! <br /><br />The coffee world is absolutely filled with fables! Although we couldn't smash them all, the triple-threat of Scott, Jools and James take on the top three myths and separate the bean from the chaff to bring you the truth! <br /><br />Is the fridge the best place to store your coffee? Jools gets on the line to Samo Smrke - an actual Coffee Scientist - to find out if that's fact or fiction. <br /><br />Scott sniffs out the truth to discover if coffee has more flavour and aroma compounds than wine and chats to 2017 World Barista Champion Dale Harris - whose whole winning routine is based around sensory analysis! <br /><br />James drills deep into the tale of coffee being the second most traded commodity in the world after oil, and gets the lowdown from Mark Pendergrast - best-selling author of Uncommon Grounds: The History of Coffee and How It Transformed Our World. <br /><br />Did the AIC Team fracture some coffee folklore? Are they who you’re gonna call for Myth Busting?! Prepare yourself to be surprised at what they discovered in this episode! <br /><br />—<br /><br />Join our Patreon to support the show: <a href="https://bit.ly/3vrispx" rel="noopener">https://bit.ly/3vrispx</a> <br /><br />Follow Dale Harris (<a href="https://bit.ly/3JLKqT2)" rel="noopener">https://bit.ly/3JLKqT2)</a>, Samo Smrke (<a href="https://bit.ly/3IdrfRz)" rel="noopener">https://bit.ly/3IdrfRz)</a>, Lauren De Silva (<a href="https://bit.ly/35eaas8)" rel="noopener">https://bit.ly/35eaas8)</a> and Omotesando (<a href="https://bit.ly/3IbLb7u)" rel="noopener">https://bit.ly/3IbLb7u)</a> on Instagram.<br /><br />Read Mark Pendegrast’s book, Uncommon Grounds: <a href="https://bit.ly/3s6EFt8" rel="noopener">https://bit.ly/3s6EFt8</a><br /><br />Sign up for the 2022 Barista League's High Density (free!) conference here: <a href="https://bit.ly/3BjAI78" rel="noopener">https://bit.ly/3BjA
