Introducing “Bean to Cup”: A new podcast from Bear Lake Coffee Co.
Exciting things are brewing at Bear Lake Coffee Co.! We’re delighted to launch Bean to Cup—our brand-new podcast that takes you behind the scenes of the specialty coffee world. Each month, Caleb Walker, our Director of Coffee, and I will dive into the trends, stories, and global insights shaping specialty coffee today. Broadcasting from our roastery in Barronett, Wisconsin (pop. 88), we’ll share the fascinating journey of coffee from bean to cup.
What to Expect:
Join me, Gabe Damiani—a coffee nerd with a passion for exceptional coffee, business, and emerging technology—and my co-host, Caleb Walker, our Director of Coffee and a coffee roasting legend from Wisconsin’s Northwoods with 15 years of experience. Bean to Cup goes beyond the brew, offering a fresh perspective on the specialty coffee world.
Each episode will:
- Feature farmers and industry developments shaping the coffee industry landscape
- Explore origins across the Coffee Belt, sharing stories of the world’s top 1% of coffees
- Break down market trends and explain how global shifts impact your daily cup
- Spotlight our Q-Grader’s Choice Coffee of the Month—a rare lot selected for its standout flavor, verified by Coffee Review
