#1 - Coffee Trends, Market Shifts & The Q-Grader’s Choice
In the inaugural episode of Bean to Cup, hosts Gabe Damiani, Licensed Q-Grader and founder of Bear Lake Coffee, and Caleb Walker, Director of Coffee at Bear Lake Coffee, dive into the ever-evolving world of specialty coffee from Barronett, Wisconsin—a small town in North Wisconsin with a population of just 88.
They break down market updates, the rising price of coffee, and consumer trends, all while spotlighting the February 2025 Q-Grader's Choice of the Month: El Socorro from Guatemala. This episode also unpacks the importance of sourcing high-quality beans, supporting farmers, and staying ahead in the specialty coffee game.
