Ep. 117 | Coffee The Staff of Life
We drink it every day \u2013 if you\u2019re a sane person. It\u2019s part of our morning routines, it\u2019s part of dating culture, and it just tastes damn good \u2013 particularly in the backcountry where frills and creature comforts are few. There\u2019s a heck of lot more to coffee than meets the eye! In this podcast, we sit down with Tony Burlison, Master Roaster and owner of Dark Timber Coffee, to talk everything coffee. From the life cycle of a coffee bean, that starts out as a cherry, but is actually a pit, to the best temperature to brew, cupping (that sounds hot), best brew methods (there are many), light vs dark roasts, getting the most flavor out of your beans, the importance of good water \u2013 and oh yeah, we top it off with one of Tony\u2019s signature Accent Packs (a compact, lightweight, single-serve pour-over that will leave thinking you brought a barista in your backpack. If you drink coffee, you\u2019ll like Dark Timber. If you don\u2019t drink coffee then.\n\nAs always, we want to hear your feedback!
