Let's keep specialty coffee special
from The Coffee Show Hosted by The Coffee Show with Kirk Pearson
This morning, World Barista Champion Jack Simpson took to Instagram, rebuking the idea of pre-batched espresso. The post came as a complete surprise to Kirk. Jack had previously played a role in helping set up the café, yet there was no prior conversation or warning—just a post pontificating on the inferiority of pre-batched espresso. In this episode, Kirk responds. He revisits why he started pre-batching coffee in the first place, unpacking the practical realities behind the decision. He also contrasts this approach with his earlier experience operating Sub-Zero Coffee, offering insight into how his thinking has evolved over time.
