Description

This podcast is our playground for discussing how Coffeepreneurs can leverage scientific methods to lead successful businesses which enriches the lives of everybody involved inside and outside the business.When running a business you have a committed purpose. You need to spend your time where it matters for yourself in order to lubricate your organization to deliver the best products to your audience. If you spend time on something that slows you down or misleads you it is precious time wasted. Unfortunately the global coffee roasting education tradition is a big patchwork with more focus on storytelling than scientific simplicity. In CoffeeMind we live and breathe scientific simplicity and the founder, Morten Münchow, has a masters degree in theory of science and more than 5 years of experience teaching research design and statistics at the University of Copenhagen. CoffeeMind's approach to coffee science and sensory science builds on this solid foundation of theory of science and research design in everything we do and we focus on simple and actionable models for skills improvement in product development and quality control.This podcast for our audience who sets aside the time to hang out with us to understand our scientific approach at a deeper level and who intuitively understands that spending this extra time on understanding methodology is rewarded by you making better decisions which make you a better servant for your audience with less time wasted on things that does not matter neither to you nor your audience. We will take you behind the scene on all of the why's and how's of our scientific projects and business practices so that you can implement our way of thinking in your own organization

I metup with Andrew Stordy at their new office in London to see their new factory, plan our upcoming collaboration but primarily to sit down with Andrew and interview him about the IKAWA technology and business history.
In this episode, Morten interviews Kristina Vaarst Andersen, the senior author of our recent paper co-published in CoffeeMind. It is a paper covering the interpretation of the data we collected in a research project investigating the dynamics of business models of coffee roasteries. We started this project around eight years ago, and despite struggling with collecting enough data, we have finally gotten an excellent paper written up and published. Unfortunately, Morten did not set the microph...

Since 2014 we have been skeptical about the inclusion of teaching, training, and testing coffee professional in individual organic acids. This episode is the story behind how we explored this question and clarified the issue in a scientific project proving this irrelevance in sensory education systems.Ida Steens 4-week sensory training kit: https://coffee-mind.com/product/sensory-training-kit-program/ use the coupon code "podcast" and get the following bonuses for free together with the ...
As a consultant and trainer, I’m constantly confronted with the concept of Rate of Rise as a superior reference point for improving roast profiles. With our scientific background and strong commitment to only use concepts that are explicitly helpful for coffee roasters to create successful products for customers we have to speak up about the misleading nature of how Rate of Rise often is obsessed by by students all over the world. It is the single most discussed concept that I have to handle ...
In this episode I'm talking to no other than Peter Giuliano who is the Executive Director at Coffee Science Foundation which is an organization planning, organizing and executing research projects in coffee with relevance to SCA's resarch strategy.I was quite involve in both the education and research part of the SCAE and SCAA merger in 2016 but I lost a bit connection to it all in the chaos. Reconnecting with Peter was such a blast for me in this episode and the dialogue with him was a great...
In this episode we are starting a new episode series about a special kind of CoffeePreneurs which is inventors of new roasting equipment. Even though that particular field is extremely technical and involves a lot of industrial-type thinking it is clear that people succeeding with this is as passionate as any green coffee producer, importer, roaster, barista and consumer!I met with Jonas at Frederiksberg in Copenhagen to sit down and have a chat about his life, early days of making the protot...
In this episode we get Wender Bredies feedback on the CoffeeScience Methodology podcast episode series. Wender is the supervisor of our Industrial PhD project with Ida Steen as executing scientist and we are really honoured to have Wender as a daily guide all things sensory science! I'm so excited to be able to share Wenders deep thinking and wast experience and knowledge with our audience. Wender is such an amazing person both as a sciencetist, scientific entrepreneur, organiser and communit...
Today I had the pleasure to talk to Tim about the Coffee Science methodology podcast series. I have known Tim since 2004 and we have met often over many years at different events and coffee projects and the integrity of his mind and the drived business is a continous inspiration from a coffee quality, business, project/vision management and scientific perspective. Hopefully you find inspiration in how we talk about current state of affairs in the business, education systems and scientific app...
In this podcast episode Andrew Tolley comments on the Coffee Science methodology podcast series and offers his perspective on science and education in the coffee communityEpisode also available with video on: https://youtu.be/U1S0bSbfHdwAndrew's profile on Knowledge Hub: https://coffeeknowledgehub.com/en/member/5f0ed078ed8093314d29794c
Samo Smrke is a well know scientist and educator in the specialty coffee business and in this episode he offers his perspective on coffee science and education and gives feedback on the coffee science methodology podcast series.This episode is also available with video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/3PCDbFH_GLQ
Some calculations that shows the fundamental problems of using the SCA Cupping Form as an objective parameter estimate of 'quality'.
The term 'Subjectivity' is actually a bit problem when it comes to describing sensory methodology but it can be solved.
In this episode we will look deeper at Bayesianism which is the direction in research design handling the problem of verification and falsification is a really elegant model using probability theory. I'm explaining it using the example of a green coffee experiment.
In this episode I zoom in on Empiricism and Critical Rationalism which I consider the most useful foundation for the concept 'objectivity'
In this episode Occam's razor is introduced which is an important foundation for a good theory and examples of where this is not applied correctly is explained
In this episode we will go all the way back to Plato to discuss what a good theory looks like if it is to serve a community and not mislead
This is the first episode of a series going through theory of science and research design to support the global coffee community with solid ground when building theories and practices for education, product development and quality control. This is a pretty long and deep series of podcast and only the most patient and eager listener will stay through it all and reap the fruits of their patience. We will provide some very specific guidelines and also be completely honest when going through all ...
The Midway Temperature Point has been spreading as a concept the last couple of years and as far as I know I came up with the concept (as I mention it is so simple that it might have been 'invented' by others without me knowing it) for a specific purpose and I see it used outside this purpose which I think is misleading. This podcast sheds light of where I think the concept came from and how it is sometimes slightly misunderstood (if my understanding is correct).In the podcast I refer to this...
Ida Steen, who created CoffeeMind's Flavour wheel, is interviewed by Morten Münchow about the creation process and how it CoffeeMind's flavour wheel differs from the other coffee flavour wheels out there.CoffeeMind's unique approach to education and research and how to combine the two is perfectly illustrated by the creation process Ida has been through to create the new wheel
