Speaker 1 (00:02):
Welcome to Talking Coffee.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's our special extra feature of Off the Cup. I'm
joined as always by my producers Lauren and Derek.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
I guys, yay, hello, see these.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Last last days of summer. I'm up here and in
the country. I shared this on social media, but I
don't know if I've told you guys, I have a
rattlesnake in my backyard.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Oh no, like it's not going anywhere. That is its home.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Well, I don't know because we've we've been here for
about four years and it's the first we didn't see it.
But our orcan guy who comes once a month to
you know, spray for vermin.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
All the other animals that are living up there.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
So many animals. I mean we're on six acres. It's country.
We get bears and all the all the things. Sent
us a picture and was like, you, guys, I've got
some bad news.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
You've got a giant and I mean it is giant.
It's oh my god, timber rattler. It probably doesn't live
in your backyard, but it's in your backyard right now.
And they're endangered. Oh and so you can't kill them
or remove them.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
You're in danger.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
It's his house now.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Oh yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
And you know, I grew up in Arizona, so I'm
very familiar with rattlesnakes, what they sound like, how to
avoid them. But I've got a kid and a dog
and we come up here to let them run around
and free range.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Not no.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
And here's the crazy thing. I don't know this.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Not every hospital has the anti venom. You have to
call your hospital ahead to make sure they have it.
And you have thirty minutes to live.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Did you call?
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Do they have it?
Speaker 1 (01:53):
I don't know, but it's thirty minutes to get to
my hospital.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
Oh up here, so a see, this is great for
your anxiety.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
This is fantastic for my anxiety.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Oh my gosh. You know generally where it is like
it has its own little piece of your property.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Now, if the organ guy found it under a table
we have in our backyard, he says, we're sort of
between two mountains.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
He says, it lives up in the mountain.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
It only comes down when it's super super hot, and
you know it probably it's not going to live in
the yard.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
It'll go back.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
But you see it once, you just have to assume
it's there.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
And that's terrifying. That's not cool, not great.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
So I'm surprised there's not like animal control to come
like take it, like you just have to just help.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
They tell you you.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Are meant to call animal animal Control to alert them
that it's there.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
They don't do anything about it.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
The Census of Animals.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Yes, so we did alert them, But I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
If there's not something, you know, how like if you
have bees like getsing these crazy videos of someone having
like a whole inside wall of bees, and they have
these special people who come and carefully remove the bees
because they are also threatened. Where now for the rattlesnake.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Can't move it from its habitat.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I went to our one of our like fishing stores
up here where like I know the guy because I'm
in there a lot, and I told him this problem,
and I was like, do you know of anything, And
he's like, coyote urine because they have no natural predators.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
No one wants to f with a rattlesnake.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Yeah, but he said, I don't know how effective this is,
but it's like the only thing people recommend is like
an outline of coyote estress around your yard, or mongoos
mongoose and My husband was like, I'm sure there's a
guy on the internet who sells mongoose.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Urine claims to sell that's what he said.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
He's like, yeah, we'd have to get it DNA tested.
Who knows if it's actually mongoo.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
You know.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
And I love snakes, like I don't mind them. We've
got a bunch of other snakes in the yard and
they're super We're cute. We go and look for them
under the woodpile all the time.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Not the rest.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
I don't fuck with this, like you don't. That's it.
You get bitten, that's it.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
That's it terrifying. Maybe there's like a clinic nearby that
you can request to get the venom.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
I'm so glad you asked. So they only make it
at the Bronx Zoom.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Oh my god, And then hospitals order it. And yeah,
a single person can't own it.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
You can't have it on hand.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
You can't have like an happy pin of now you know.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
This happened to my my husband's friend when they were
like in high school and they lived they come from
like the Appalachia area, and so they would all go
camping and they went on this like crazy camping expedition.
It's so crazy because like Ronnie's parents would die if
they knew like all the things that they were up to.
But like they were just like camping. There's this like
(04:54):
snowstorm and his friend was like climbing up like a
rock cliff and put his hand into like the rattlesnake's
nest and got bin and they had to like huff it.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
But he survived.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
But my god, I mean people don't survive, like no know, Wow.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Well good luck. I hope no new neighbor you up.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
I really feel like there's something to be done here
of like this could be its own little podcast of
like s he goes and finds the venom, like calls
up the Bronx Zoo, gets it delivered to Yes, what
country possibly closest to you? Also, I love that it's
at the Bronx Zoo. I want to do my own
little story about then the guy who's making.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
The yeah, totally totally thats the good news I'm told
is the snake's venom is very special to them. They
don't like to waste it, and so you know, they're
not looking to use it on you.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
They really don't want to that's why they rattle.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
That's why they got the.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
You know, so that that's some good news. I don't know.
I don't know. I don't know. I'm trying to rationalize
this so I can survive.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Yeah, yeah, not drive myself crazy.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
But anyway, onto nicer things like coffee.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Right, I won't kill you.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
I have some great coffee news today. Guys.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Oh, thank god.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
We need it, we really do.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I could not wait to talk coffee today. I couldn't wait.
This first news story. You will not believe.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Phill's coffee is the news.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
It's back again.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
This is a callback from when I went to LA
and discovered Fills with a Z coffee, right, and we
talked about it and I really enjoyed it. I did
not enjoy that they had paper cups for iced coffee.
That's that's a separate story.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
And then Derek, you were just out west and you fills.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Yes, I had Phills as well, and it was really good.
It was yeah, really tasty.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
It is good.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
But I had hot coffee, so I didn't have the
problem that.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I couldn't believe when I, you know, I start googling
my coffee news and it's the first story that came
up Phil's Coffee. I don't think this is great news,
but maybe it is. I have a bias for this,
but we'll get into it. Phill's Coffee set to be
acquired by private equity.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
M Yeah, media, you know what this means?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Yes, exactly, exactly because I work for a newspaper that
was acquired by private equity. I've worked for other media
companies acquired by private equity.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
That usually means.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
They're about to like sell off the parts and they
don't care about the journalism part. They don't care about,
you know, the public service of it. Usually that does
not iner to the benefit of content creators and producers
and writers and journalists. I don't know if the coffee
space has the same problems like this might.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Be as for maybe this is why it's you know
what this reminds me of. This is totally what Richard
Gear did in Pretty Woman.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
One hundred percent. He started so kind of like when
you buy, you know, old cars and sell them for
the parts. He's like, yeah, sure, if that helps you. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Phil's has seventy seven cafe locations across California and Chicago.
Says its existing corporate leadership will remain.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Through the acquisition. In terms of the transaction, we're not
made public.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
It teases a pipeline of news store openings, so like
this might be great for Phil's and opening more locations.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
I don't want to bring my news bias to this story,
which might be a great story for.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Them maybe, but it also feels like why are they
you know, I feel like it feels always targeted when
the private equity comes into us. So what is it
about Phills in particular or the coffee business generally that
they want to infiltrate and take.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
That's a good question. We'll have to keep our eye
on this.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Yeah, but I feel connected to Phil that a Google
alert to Yeah, yeah, yeah, right.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
Seven locations is a lot, So that's interesting.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Yeah for some place I've never heard of before I
went there, you know.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Okay, so fills in the news.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
Good luck.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
This is from Starbucks.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Apparently they're experimenting with like five Star restaurants. Okay at
Starbucks Reserve dream Plaza Type, an immersive coffee and culinary destination.
Starbucks Reserve Dream Plaza Type has officially opened its doors
(09:44):
on the sixth and seventh floors of Dream Plaza Zignyi
District's newest cultural and lifestyle destination. It blends world class coffee,
fine dining, and breathtaking.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Views of type in.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Inspired by Milan's design, aesthetic, and culture, the space offers
a refined, immersive atmosphere where guests can enjoy panoramic city
views day or night while indulging in curated menus by
internationally acclaimed chef Andre Chiang. Let me just tell you
some of the menu items at this Starbucks restaurant. Seaweed
(10:23):
Temporo with smoked salmon and caviar, Yes, please, yeah, wag you,
brisket Wellington.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Wow, that's pretty serious.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Peach foam and citrus jelly, Yes, okay, Chocolate Moose with
Sichuan peppercorn.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
And then the pairings of coffee. You start with a
pour over Appure, an elegant brew with bright acidity and
floral fruity notes of kumquat and elderflower.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Then you go to a Sheikerado.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Do you guys remember Rocco di Spirito was telling us about.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Yes, it's the ice coffee of Italy exactly.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
And then you end with a mocktail, which is a
dreamy beverage combining citrus, elderberry syrup, cream and lemon delivers
the silky layered experience that gently closes the sensory journey.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
I love I love that wording.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Do I want to go to a Starbucks restaurant?
Speaker 4 (11:28):
No, well, my immediate question.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
My immediate question is is this just Starbucks coffee? And
you described the coffee and the beans like it sounded
not like necessarily it.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Would be really weird if they opened a restaurant and
then outsource the coffee. We will wed, so I have
to assume it's Starbucks products.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Yeah, I actually.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Think this is a very cool concept. What I wish is.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
What would be a Duncan version.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Of that, like a main lobster with New England foods.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Yeah, I want a Duncan restaurant experience where I can
go in. On the first floor is merch, you know,
I love my Duncan merch. Before I put this shirt on,
I was a Duncan shirt. And then you go up
a floor and it's the coffee shop where I can
(12:30):
sit and read or.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Do work and it's viby.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
And then on the third floor I've already designed this
in my head. Yeah, is the restaurant and it's legit,
like clam chowder, lobster roll, like New England foods, like
sit down x oh, sit down, sit down waiters experience.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
I like that this should happen, right, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I think it is interesting.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
You know.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
I feel like they've done all sorts of pairings in
the restaurant world because it's like why not, and it
feels kind of like, oh, why hasn't this happened already? Well?
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Yeah, and for brands that have such brand loyalty, like
like Duncan, I'll do anything Duncan tells me to do. Okay,
I'm a drone when it comes to Duncan tell me
what to do, tell me what to buy.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
I'm there, I'm there.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
And remember, listeners, they are not sponsors yet we want
them to be.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
We want them to be. He is saying this from
her heart.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
I'm not paid to say this. I'd love to be paid,
but I'd say it anyway. They have a new Chipotle
hash Brown Wake Up Rap Okay, heret it delicious, you guys.
It is so good. It's a little spicy, it's a
little savory. It's so good.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
I do anything Duncan tells me to do. So if
they had a restaurant, I'd go. I'd go for sure,
and I tell everyone about it.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
I think dunkin Donnut should be paying attention. I have
a question that might be difficult to answer, and you
don't have to. Is there anything Duncan has done that
you were like, hmm, not on board with.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
I'm not a big pumpkin spice slatte. I'm not a
big PSL drinker.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
That's not even their fault, though, that is that is
not their fault. No, they just got to go.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
They gotta go, and I haven't had it because I
don't order that.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Ever, it might be great. This is not their fault.
I just I don't do that. I don't partake in that.
But it's not something I'm like mad at Duncan for.
The answer is no, Lauren, I'm not mad at Duncan
or anything. They've made, no mistakes.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
I feel like we should do a Duncan quiz sometime,
like what's your favorite Duncan advertising?
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Like they had so many good time to make the donuts.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
I have to make the donuts.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
I make the donut d donuts, the fifty two varieties,
fresh Day and yeah, the original, the og that guy,
he's still around, should we get him on the show.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
He cannot be still around, But I don't know everyone
from that era. The eighties looked a hundred and there
were like thirty. Like the Golden Girls looked eighties and
they were in their forties.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Okay, so he might be alive.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
But in my town when I was growing up in Andover, Massachusetts,
our dunk had the coffee counter, like where you'd go,
you'd sit post up at the counter. Oh, it was
just so by the I miss that. I wish they
had those old school dunks.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Yeah, they need to bring back the eighties vibes.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
They've they've really lessened their attention to donuts. I mean
they took it. They basically took it out of the name. Right,
is it still in the name?
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Right? You're right, it's Duncan.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
It's just Duncan.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
You can still get donuts, and their donuts are great.
Occasionally I'll get some munchkins or I'll get donuts for
my son. You will not catch me saying a bad
word about Dunkin Donuts.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Just testing, just testing, the best testing.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Yeah, uh okay, Next news item, what do you think
about drones delivering your coffee.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
I mean, has this gone well yet with anything like coffee? Notoriously?
I mean, we can look back at the fantastic Seinfeld episode. Right,
it's practically impossible if you want a hot cup to
deliver that in a way where it's not going to
be spilled everywhere exactly, even I you know, just go
get it yourself.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
You know, when I was in California, I was walking
around and I didn't see drones delivering stuff, but I
did see robots. I didn't I didn't, like, I'm not
even one hundred percent sure what I saw, but what
it looked like I was seeing was a robot with
a delivery, like just running down the street, just driving
down the right the side, just driving down, strolling down
(16:55):
the sidewalk, and it looked like it had a slot
for a for a up.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
So I was like, that's crazy.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
But I would not trust a loose drink like that from.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
A rope now, especially not a hot drink.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Yeah, but we'll be messy, you know that. I can't
imagine drones can get wet in any way.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Oh, good point.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
I was worried about falling hot coffee, But then what
if you actually calling drone from the drone.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
I don't want to empower drones or robots to do
any more jobs.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
I really don't know. I really don't We've talked about
this before.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
I don't want robots making my coffee. I don't want
robots delivering my coffee. But the story came up because
it's so crazy. This isn't actually about coffee. The Trump
administration wants to loosen the regulations on drones to make
it easier for companies to use drones for business. The
example they give in this story is, for example, delivering
(17:57):
coffee or inspecting power life lines.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
I feel like both of those things I would love
to entrust to human to humans. Right, that feels like
something we can stay in the lane it is.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I agree. I don't want drones. I don't want drones
coming to my house for any reason. Next story is excellent.
I told you I have like very offbeat, cool stories
for coffee.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
May they use this week?
Speaker 2 (18:28):
So there are a bunch of art forgers in Italy, Okay,
and they figured out a way to fake art from
everyone from Picasso to Edvard Monk to Paul Clay. They
(18:49):
found a way to replicate these sort of old looking
prints that Picasso and other artists may aid back in
the eighteen hundreds, late eighteen hundreds early nineteen hundreds by
dipping the paper in coffee to make.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
It look cold and using a paper.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
They would age the paper by dipping it in coffee
and with the right paper, they selected easily repeated images
to produce primarily like line drawings, you know, not complicated paintings,
where they created multiple copies using a printing technique similar
to that of a lithograph. They were so successful as
forgeries that they fooled auction houses and had been distributed
(19:40):
to twenty three different countries. It took a pan European
team of investigators twelve months to track the forgers down
to their workshop in Rome, where they seized over one
hundred forgeries worth over a million dollars.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Wow call because of coffee?
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Is that a But? I wonder like did they smell
like Loffe?
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (20:04):
The art right, I mean I can totally see how
that would work, like visually, Yeah, but you don't test
the paper like you.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Don't test at an auction house. You don't test that.
This is like actually like the age of the paper.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
That's crazy to me, I know, I know, there's actually
a really great audio story from Reveal about all these
crazy forgeries and it's kind of tackling the gallery and
to your point of like, you know, the people were
arrested and the people who bought the things were out
all this money, and somehow the gallery kind of gets
(20:41):
away with this, like there's still this esteemed place where
it's like, wait, why aren't you more involved and.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
On the hook for this?
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Fascinating, fascinating. Uh, Okay, Derek, this is for you.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Okay, there's a new nine thousand dollarsffee maker.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Yeah, I'm on it.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
I know.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
I'm going to tell you it's features, but there's a
there's a twist at the end.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
I'm already in you can I know you are, but
I know you are.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Two independently operating water circulation systems for simultaneous preparation of
coffee and milk foam. A heat exchanger system, A boiler
and pump pressure gauge one point nine liters stainless steel boiler,
quiet rotary pump, professional quick steam and hot water valves,
discrete shot counter display, three selectable temperatures and pre infusion
(21:38):
on off.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Here is the twist.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
It is made from a BMW motorcycle engine.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Oh my god, that's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
I'm gonna show you a picture this thing.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Oh my god. It looks both like beautiful and old
school and like a weird futuristic robot.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
I don't know how.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
That's very cool looking.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
The company is called ECM and it's only making eighty
of these, priced at nine thousand dollars each. They call
it the big Coffee Boxer because it weighs one hundred
and forty pounds.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Oh my god, that's ridiculous. Who is their market?
Speaker 2 (22:26):
And it looks big like you have a like counter
space for this thing.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Yeah yeah, but you know, if.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
You're like a car junkie, oh yeah, and a coffee fan.
This is a million the guy who has everything.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
I feel like that you said it has like a
thing that like a silencer or something something that makes
it quiet. I feel like that's unnecessary. That sounds like
there's some some things.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Sorry. I like the sound of my coffee beer.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Yeah. Yeah. We added in to the to this show
most exactly.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
It's part of the of making coffee is the sound
of it.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Okay, This next story is awesome I am so jealous
of murles Inlet, South Carolina, because in murles Inlet, South Carolina,
apparently you can take.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
A morning boat.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Cruise with coffee. M there's a coffee offering a morning
boat cruise.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
That's perfect.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
You enjoy your coffee on the water, like, this is
all I want.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
That sounds really lovely.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
Okay, my mind immediately thought you were saying that they
fill up a vat with coffee and you get in
a boat and you can like go on a boat
on a big body of coffee.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
That's when you really know you have a coffee problem.
On coffee.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Now you have me thinking that Duncan should do a
coffee amusement park with features like this, like a coffee lake,
m you know, like Hershey Park.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Oh for coffee.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
You're already describing your your restaurant idea totally was like
the character restaurants at like Disney Parks where you can
like meet and greet, like if you have the ability
to like meet Ben Athleck.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
I don't know who would they. I don't know who
they would have for the character Meet and the Great
at Duncan, the.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Guy the donut time to make the donut.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
Okay, Yeah, that guy is just like there and like
we'll come to your neighbor.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Get excited to meet like corporate folks from Duncan. Okay,
these are my rock stars.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
I feel like we've got to try and get that
guy who Stephen Kellogg connect you with on the pod.
What's an I deny your back that we don't know?
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Yeah, but apparently in Merle's Inlet.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
On the inlet, brew Boat offers morning coffee cruises with
brown Fox Coffee offers a discount on your coffee when
you head out on the inlet for the sunrise.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
I mean I love a booze cruise. Yeah, this is
the morning version of that wonderful way to start their day. Yeah,
on a boat with fresh coffee. Yeaheah, that sounds why
this isn't a thing more places. Yeah, I'd pay a
premium for this experience. I love.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
There must be a lake and a rowboat you can
get on with your own I guess I could do
this myself. Cups rowboat cruise.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
I could do this myself. But I love this creativity.
Great idea. Okay, this is a really stupid story.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Hit us.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
This sounds very gen z.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
We don't have a logan the intern Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
To translate this for us, Woman shares incredibly clever drink hack.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Spoiler alert, No it isn't.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Coffee lever Jess shared a video showing an easy hack
that makes milk cartons useful beyond filling up your latte.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Can you guess what's gonna happen?
Speaker 3 (26:09):
I don't think I can now make foam.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Nope, that would be too that would make too much sense.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
For h store your coffee bean dry coffee beans in.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
That would also make too much sense.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Okay, they're turning used milk cartons into drink carriers.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
Oh wait, yeah, okay, Oh I see, I see.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
So you take the milk carton, you turn it on
its side so it's horizontal instead of vertical, and you
cut holes in it to hold like a coffee drink tray.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
You have a very negative reaction to this.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
I think it's stupid. You love this. I think it's stupid.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
I mean it feels like a lot of work, especially
just for two cups because you also have two.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
Oh thank you.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
I don't like Yeah, that's true. You don't like things
that replaced, just the car.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
It all seems like a lot of work, especially considering
the inside of that milk carton is.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Milk, wait and milky then maybe smelly?
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Yeah, so then your cup, I don't know, we'll get this.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Coffee shops are already doing.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
This, what well, Jess is excited about her sustainable discovery.
Commenters noted this hack is already happening in coffee shops
from Australia to Mexico. We've been doing this in New
York City, said another. It's a way for coffee businesses
to reduce overhead by not having, you know that the
coffee trays and they go through several cartons of milk
(27:44):
a week, you know, like, okay, get it.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
I think craft now.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
I think it makes sense because you do go through
a lot of those, You're gonna have a lot of
that way, sure, purpose it.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
But the special oat milk ones, that's what that is.
That little guy, that's what that looks like. Yes, exactly,
because they're only because they aren't getting milk in like
the gallons.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Yeah. I feel like it would be weird if I
were at a New York cafe and then they're passing
me off the garbage.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
But the garbage.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
I do have a question though, Actually my skepticism is
I feel like the function of those trays is the
pressure that it puts on the bottom of the cup
to hold it secure. If you just put a hole
in a in a carton, I feel like the cups
are going to be kind of loose and then they're
they're not going to be useful anyway.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
So I do I do worry about that?
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Well, then it becomes my garbage too.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Maybe someone should just figure out a way to take
all those milk cartons and then more professionally recycle them
into the thing that you know what I mean, Like
these are made out of the milk cartons, but like
you don't notice, and they are still functionally good and.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Like a di y you know, arts and crafts coffee.
Like you we're turning our trash into your take home tray.
Like I'm just not into that. Like, can we have
some standards? Can we are we still a society? Are
we still living in a society?
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Apply apparely knowledge?
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Okay, now this TikTok thing, I'm good with. This is
the last story have you seen on TikTok? The new
(29:42):
trend of coffee buckets.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
Sounds like something you would love. I don't even know
what it is.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
It's just like a hell a lot of coffee.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
It's a drink, a giant bucket of coffee.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Oh you know how people are, like, our water bottles
are increasingly getting cartoonishly large.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Yeah, yes, they're doing this for coffee.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Local coffee shops across the US are now selling clear, plastic,
thirty two ounce buckets of iced coffee to customers. And
obviously you can add whatever sweetener's, milks, or flavors you want.
Any of our lattes can be made in a bucket
as long as it's iced, and it consists of four
shots of espresso, oh my god, eight to ten ounces
(30:28):
of milk, and then whatever syrups go with the flavor
that they selected. And then we also offer a cold
foam topping. This is knock to a coffee, but apparently
they're happening all over the country.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
And then I love At the end of this it says,
if you're sensitive to caffeine, you might want.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
To avoid these glorious buckets sweet least share them with
a loved one.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
I'm glad they gave the warning. I know it's a
lot of coffee that's too.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
I couldn't drink that much coffee even if I wanted to.
I don't think I could drink that much coffee.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Definitely sounds good for sharing, but hilarious and Instagram and
then and then you could take it to the beach,
share it with your friends, and then hand it off
to the kidnexs to you to play with.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
However, and before we got on air, we were talking
about yetties and our products that keep our beverages cold.
A plastic ice bucket is not keeping your beverage cold.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
For very long.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
To chug that puppy.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
And that's going to become watery and gross, and you
can't drink it fast enough.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
To keep it that cold.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
So it actually I think works against you having that
much coffee in a container that you can't keep cold
for very long.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Yeah, what, I appreciate the sentiment behind it.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
Wait, what is the sentiment buckets?
Speaker 1 (31:50):
I want a giant car? Is the sentiment I need
to make a coffee I can get?
Speaker 4 (31:56):
You know?
Speaker 3 (31:57):
I was, I was in Massachusetts last weekend and obviously
stopped at a Duncan, and I noticed that they had
a little advertisement for the Munchkin the beach bucket the
beach bucket. So they're ahead of the game really and
recognize what you use a bucket for.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
That is great and I love the we got the
Munchkin beach bucket. Like the day it came out.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
You get the nurse news alert, so you were prepared.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Why who was aware? I was aware of this was coming.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
And it's great because yeah, I wasn't holding coffee. It's
great for like a Halloween candy bucket, it's great for
the beach.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Like it's an all purpose bucket. It's great.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
Yeah, buckets are having a moment. Like movie theater, popcorn
buckets have become like a huge way of marketing movies.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Yes, oh, like are they specialized.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Yeah bucket.
Speaker 5 (32:51):
I think it started with the Dune one because they
released a dune that looked like the Sandworm and it
looked really inappropate, okay, and so people were making it
became a meme because of that, and then but then
after that, it's because that like took off and went viral.
I think that was the first one. Movie studios have
just been doing the popcorn bucket for all their movies.
(33:13):
Deadpool had a popcorn bucket and like, what's the popcorn
bucket going to be.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Because then you keep it.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
And yeah, unlike the giant souvenir cup, which you only
use for beverages, the bucket is multipurpose.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
You can use that for all kinds of things.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
We need off the cup bucket.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
Yes we do, Yes we do.
Speaker 5 (33:36):
I don't know that there's something unnerving to me about
this era of buckets that we're in because I feel like, like,
where is the where is the class? Where where is
the the care where is the the You.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Just said you wanted a milk carton to carry your
coffee cup.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
No, now you were class.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
That's true, But I feel like I don't know bucket.
Speaker 5 (34:01):
It's just like, I mean, here's the slot, here's your slop,
you know, like if we're eating out of buckets now,
it just I don't know.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
I don't know. Yes, it is.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
It'll like go into the trough.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
It is it is. Yeah, that's okay, at it like
you use it as Halloween. Yeah, I know. Buckets are fun.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
I was just at Ace hardware store because they live
in the country and go to the hardware store like
all the time, and they were having this promotion where
if you donate five dollars to some like kid charity.
Of course, I did you get a free ACE bucket?
Speaker 3 (34:39):
And I was like, yes, I need more buckets.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
I need more buckets. Who can't use another bucket experience.
So you're right, buckets are having a moment.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
Yeah, we are in our bucket era that.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
This is so funny because at ACE, at this very
same interaction, I was by light bulbs and I asked
if they had a specific hind and she goes, yeah,
you want right white or soft? And I said, I'm
in my soft era. You got a huge laugh. But yeah,
(35:16):
I guess I'm in my soft era and my bucket era.
Both of those things go together at ACE.
Speaker 5 (35:22):
Apparently I'm with you on the light when I'm walking
down the street at night, one of my I'm at
my most judgmental when I'm looking at peering into people's
homes and like, oh, I do not like the kelvin
of that. Yes, that that like if it's too you know,
cold or too bright like in the evening's warm. Yeah,
you need like a warm not dim, but you know
(35:42):
you need like you need the right light.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
Have you guys seen the funniest video on this kind
of lighting on this very subject I have ever seen.
This woman is dressed kind of like as an older,
demure sort of country lady, and she's like in what
looks like, you know, her grandma's house, and she's walking
around and turning on the horrendous lights and describing why
she likes. She was like, I like to feel and
(36:06):
look like death, and like so I can't remember what
the quip she made, but I will go find it
and send it to you because I laughed so hard.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Well, there is a trend on TikTok where people are saying, like,
no overhead lights, and if I go to your house
and you have an overhead light on, I'm leaving.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Oh my yeah, I'm not that crazy about it.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
But like people are very specific about the kind of
lighting that they want now, and they're only turning on
like lamps, you know, because had lighting is really rude.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
It's really very harsh.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
It's too much.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
It's not vibe. I don't enjoy it.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
It does not deserve our buckets.
Speaker 5 (36:44):
And I don't remember if the kelvin is supposed to
be more or less, but it's like there somewhere on
that scale, like I want it to be nice yellow.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
You know, warm, warm, like like you're going into the
march House and little women exactly, and it's like candle
lit candles exactly.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
That's what it's a mood to each other.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
I totally agree.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
I do not want to be able to read my
book and that lighting. I need to strain my eyes.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
On my face. I exactly warm, no key lights in sight.
All right, Well, that's it for talking coffee and coffee
news this week. This was really fun, guys, so.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
Definitely all the news that is fit to sip.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
I'm gonna go get a bucket of coffee and a
milk carton to carry it in perfi.
Speaker 5 (37:36):
You might get a gallon carton for that for the
bucket exactly. Half gallon will not do exactly.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
All right, guys, we'll see you next time.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's our special extra feature of Off the Cup. I'm
joined as always by my producers Lauren and Derek.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
I guys, yay, hello, see these.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Last last days of summer. I'm up here and in
the country. I shared this on social media, but I
don't know if I've told you guys, I have a
rattlesnake in my backyard.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Oh no, like it's not going anywhere. That is its home.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Well, I don't know because we've we've been here for
about four years and it's the first we didn't see it.
But our orcan guy who comes once a month to
you know, spray for vermin.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
All the other animals that are living up there.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
So many animals. I mean we're on six acres. It's country.
We get bears and all the all the things. Sent
us a picture and was like, you, guys, I've got
some bad news.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
You've got a giant and I mean it is giant.
It's oh my god, timber rattler. It probably doesn't live
in your backyard, but it's in your backyard right now.
And they're endangered. Oh and so you can't kill them
or remove them.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
You're in danger.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
It's his house now.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Oh yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
And you know, I grew up in Arizona, so I'm
very familiar with rattlesnakes, what they sound like, how to
avoid them. But I've got a kid and a dog
and we come up here to let them run around
and free range.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Not no.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
And here's the crazy thing. I don't know this.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Not every hospital has the anti venom. You have to
call your hospital ahead to make sure they have it.
And you have thirty minutes to live.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Did you call?
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Do they have it?
Speaker 1 (01:53):
I don't know, but it's thirty minutes to get to
my hospital.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
Oh up here, so a see, this is great for
your anxiety.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
This is fantastic for my anxiety.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Oh my gosh. You know generally where it is like
it has its own little piece of your property.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Now, if the organ guy found it under a table
we have in our backyard, he says, we're sort of
between two mountains.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
He says, it lives up in the mountain.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
It only comes down when it's super super hot, and
you know it probably it's not going to live in
the yard.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
It'll go back.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
But you see it once, you just have to assume
it's there.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
And that's terrifying. That's not cool, not great.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
So I'm surprised there's not like animal control to come
like take it, like you just have to just help.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
They tell you you.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Are meant to call animal animal Control to alert them
that it's there.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
They don't do anything about it.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
The Census of Animals.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Yes, so we did alert them, But I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
If there's not something, you know, how like if you
have bees like getsing these crazy videos of someone having
like a whole inside wall of bees, and they have
these special people who come and carefully remove the bees
because they are also threatened. Where now for the rattlesnake.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Can't move it from its habitat.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I went to our one of our like fishing stores
up here where like I know the guy because I'm
in there a lot, and I told him this problem,
and I was like, do you know of anything, And
he's like, coyote urine because they have no natural predators.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
No one wants to f with a rattlesnake.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Yeah, but he said, I don't know how effective this is,
but it's like the only thing people recommend is like
an outline of coyote estress around your yard, or mongoos
mongoose and My husband was like, I'm sure there's a
guy on the internet who sells mongoose.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Urine claims to sell that's what he said.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
He's like, yeah, we'd have to get it DNA tested.
Who knows if it's actually mongoo.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
You know.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
And I love snakes, like I don't mind them. We've
got a bunch of other snakes in the yard and
they're super We're cute. We go and look for them
under the woodpile all the time.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Not the rest.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
I don't fuck with this, like you don't. That's it.
You get bitten, that's it.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
That's it terrifying. Maybe there's like a clinic nearby that
you can request to get the venom.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
I'm so glad you asked. So they only make it
at the Bronx Zoom.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Oh my god, And then hospitals order it. And yeah,
a single person can't own it.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
You can't have it on hand.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
You can't have like an happy pin of now you know.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
This happened to my my husband's friend when they were
like in high school and they lived they come from
like the Appalachia area, and so they would all go
camping and they went on this like crazy camping expedition.
It's so crazy because like Ronnie's parents would die if
they knew like all the things that they were up to.
But like they were just like camping. There's this like
(04:54):
snowstorm and his friend was like climbing up like a
rock cliff and put his hand into like the rattlesnake's
nest and got bin and they had to like huff it.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
But he survived.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
But my god, I mean people don't survive, like no know, Wow.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Well good luck. I hope no new neighbor you up.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
I really feel like there's something to be done here
of like this could be its own little podcast of
like s he goes and finds the venom, like calls
up the Bronx Zoo, gets it delivered to Yes, what
country possibly closest to you? Also, I love that it's
at the Bronx Zoo. I want to do my own
little story about then the guy who's making.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
The yeah, totally totally thats the good news I'm told
is the snake's venom is very special to them. They
don't like to waste it, and so you know, they're
not looking to use it on you.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
They really don't want to that's why they rattle.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
That's why they got the.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
You know, so that that's some good news. I don't know.
I don't know. I don't know. I'm trying to rationalize
this so I can survive.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Yeah, yeah, not drive myself crazy.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
But anyway, onto nicer things like coffee.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Right, I won't kill you.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
I have some great coffee news today. Guys.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Oh, thank god.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
We need it, we really do.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I could not wait to talk coffee today. I couldn't wait.
This first news story. You will not believe.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Phill's coffee is the news.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
It's back again.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
This is a callback from when I went to LA
and discovered Fills with a Z coffee, right, and we
talked about it and I really enjoyed it. I did
not enjoy that they had paper cups for iced coffee.
That's that's a separate story.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
And then Derek, you were just out west and you fills.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Yes, I had Phills as well, and it was really good.
It was yeah, really tasty.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
It is good.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
But I had hot coffee, so I didn't have the
problem that.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I couldn't believe when I, you know, I start googling
my coffee news and it's the first story that came
up Phil's Coffee. I don't think this is great news,
but maybe it is. I have a bias for this,
but we'll get into it. Phill's Coffee set to be
acquired by private equity.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
M Yeah, media, you know what this means?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Yes, exactly, exactly because I work for a newspaper that
was acquired by private equity. I've worked for other media
companies acquired by private equity.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
That usually means.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
They're about to like sell off the parts and they
don't care about the journalism part. They don't care about,
you know, the public service of it. Usually that does
not iner to the benefit of content creators and producers
and writers and journalists. I don't know if the coffee
space has the same problems like this might.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Be as for maybe this is why it's you know
what this reminds me of. This is totally what Richard
Gear did in Pretty Woman.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
One hundred percent. He started so kind of like when
you buy, you know, old cars and sell them for
the parts. He's like, yeah, sure, if that helps you. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Phil's has seventy seven cafe locations across California and Chicago.
Says its existing corporate leadership will remain.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Through the acquisition. In terms of the transaction, we're not
made public.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
It teases a pipeline of news store openings, so like
this might be great for Phil's and opening more locations.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
I don't want to bring my news bias to this story,
which might be a great story for.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Them maybe, but it also feels like why are they
you know, I feel like it feels always targeted when
the private equity comes into us. So what is it
about Phills in particular or the coffee business generally that
they want to infiltrate and take.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
That's a good question. We'll have to keep our eye
on this.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Yeah, but I feel connected to Phil that a Google
alert to Yeah, yeah, yeah, right.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
Seven locations is a lot, So that's interesting.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Yeah for some place I've never heard of before I
went there, you know.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Okay, so fills in the news.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
Good luck.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
This is from Starbucks.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Apparently they're experimenting with like five Star restaurants. Okay at
Starbucks Reserve dream Plaza Type, an immersive coffee and culinary destination.
Starbucks Reserve Dream Plaza Type has officially opened its doors
(09:44):
on the sixth and seventh floors of Dream Plaza Zignyi
District's newest cultural and lifestyle destination. It blends world class coffee,
fine dining, and breathtaking.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Views of type in.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Inspired by Milan's design, aesthetic, and culture, the space offers
a refined, immersive atmosphere where guests can enjoy panoramic city
views day or night while indulging in curated menus by
internationally acclaimed chef Andre Chiang. Let me just tell you
some of the menu items at this Starbucks restaurant. Seaweed
(10:23):
Temporo with smoked salmon and caviar, Yes, please, yeah, wag you,
brisket Wellington.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Wow, that's pretty serious.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Peach foam and citrus jelly, Yes, okay, Chocolate Moose with
Sichuan peppercorn.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
And then the pairings of coffee. You start with a
pour over Appure, an elegant brew with bright acidity and
floral fruity notes of kumquat and elderflower.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Then you go to a Sheikerado.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Do you guys remember Rocco di Spirito was telling us about.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Yes, it's the ice coffee of Italy exactly.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
And then you end with a mocktail, which is a
dreamy beverage combining citrus, elderberry syrup, cream and lemon delivers
the silky layered experience that gently closes the sensory journey.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
I love I love that wording.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Do I want to go to a Starbucks restaurant?
Speaker 4 (11:28):
No, well, my immediate question.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
My immediate question is is this just Starbucks coffee? And
you described the coffee and the beans like it sounded
not like necessarily it.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Would be really weird if they opened a restaurant and
then outsource the coffee. We will wed, so I have
to assume it's Starbucks products.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Yeah, I actually.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Think this is a very cool concept. What I wish is.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
What would be a Duncan version.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Of that, like a main lobster with New England foods.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Yeah, I want a Duncan restaurant experience where I can
go in. On the first floor is merch, you know,
I love my Duncan merch. Before I put this shirt on,
I was a Duncan shirt. And then you go up
a floor and it's the coffee shop where I can
(12:30):
sit and read or.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Do work and it's viby.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
And then on the third floor I've already designed this
in my head. Yeah, is the restaurant and it's legit,
like clam chowder, lobster roll, like New England foods, like
sit down x oh, sit down, sit down waiters experience.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
I like that this should happen, right, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I think it is interesting.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
You know.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
I feel like they've done all sorts of pairings in
the restaurant world because it's like why not, and it
feels kind of like, oh, why hasn't this happened already? Well?
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Yeah, and for brands that have such brand loyalty, like
like Duncan, I'll do anything Duncan tells me to do. Okay,
I'm a drone when it comes to Duncan tell me
what to do, tell me what to buy.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
I'm there, I'm there.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
And remember, listeners, they are not sponsors yet we want
them to be.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
We want them to be. He is saying this from
her heart.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
I'm not paid to say this. I'd love to be paid,
but I'd say it anyway. They have a new Chipotle
hash Brown Wake Up Rap Okay, heret it delicious, you guys.
It is so good. It's a little spicy, it's a
little savory. It's so good.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
I do anything Duncan tells me to do. So if
they had a restaurant, I'd go. I'd go for sure,
and I tell everyone about it.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
I think dunkin Donnut should be paying attention. I have
a question that might be difficult to answer, and you
don't have to. Is there anything Duncan has done that
you were like, hmm, not on board with.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
I'm not a big pumpkin spice slatte. I'm not a
big PSL drinker.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
That's not even their fault, though, that is that is
not their fault. No, they just got to go.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
They gotta go, and I haven't had it because I
don't order that.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Ever, it might be great. This is not their fault.
I just I don't do that. I don't partake in that.
But it's not something I'm like mad at Duncan for.
The answer is no, Lauren, I'm not mad at Duncan
or anything. They've made, no mistakes.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
I feel like we should do a Duncan quiz sometime,
like what's your favorite Duncan advertising?
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Like they had so many good time to make the donuts.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
I have to make the donuts.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
I make the donut d donuts, the fifty two varieties,
fresh Day and yeah, the original, the og that guy,
he's still around, should we get him on the show.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
He cannot be still around, But I don't know everyone
from that era. The eighties looked a hundred and there
were like thirty. Like the Golden Girls looked eighties and
they were in their forties.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Okay, so he might be alive.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
But in my town when I was growing up in Andover, Massachusetts,
our dunk had the coffee counter, like where you'd go,
you'd sit post up at the counter. Oh, it was
just so by the I miss that. I wish they
had those old school dunks.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Yeah, they need to bring back the eighties vibes.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
They've they've really lessened their attention to donuts. I mean
they took it. They basically took it out of the name. Right,
is it still in the name?
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Right? You're right, it's Duncan.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
It's just Duncan.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
You can still get donuts, and their donuts are great.
Occasionally I'll get some munchkins or I'll get donuts for
my son. You will not catch me saying a bad
word about Dunkin Donuts.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Just testing, just testing, the best testing.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Yeah, uh okay, Next news item, what do you think
about drones delivering your coffee.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
I mean, has this gone well yet with anything like coffee? Notoriously?
I mean, we can look back at the fantastic Seinfeld episode. Right,
it's practically impossible if you want a hot cup to
deliver that in a way where it's not going to
be spilled everywhere exactly, even I you know, just go
get it yourself.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
You know, when I was in California, I was walking
around and I didn't see drones delivering stuff, but I
did see robots. I didn't I didn't, like, I'm not
even one hundred percent sure what I saw, but what
it looked like I was seeing was a robot with
a delivery, like just running down the street, just driving
down the right the side, just driving down, strolling down
(16:55):
the sidewalk, and it looked like it had a slot
for a for a up.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
So I was like, that's crazy.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
But I would not trust a loose drink like that from.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
A rope now, especially not a hot drink.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Yeah, but we'll be messy, you know that. I can't
imagine drones can get wet in any way.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Oh, good point.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
I was worried about falling hot coffee, But then what
if you actually calling drone from the drone.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
I don't want to empower drones or robots to do
any more jobs.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
I really don't know. I really don't We've talked about
this before.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
I don't want robots making my coffee. I don't want
robots delivering my coffee. But the story came up because
it's so crazy. This isn't actually about coffee. The Trump
administration wants to loosen the regulations on drones to make
it easier for companies to use drones for business. The
example they give in this story is, for example, delivering
(17:57):
coffee or inspecting power life lines.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
I feel like both of those things I would love
to entrust to human to humans. Right, that feels like
something we can stay in the lane it is.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I agree. I don't want drones. I don't want drones
coming to my house for any reason. Next story is excellent.
I told you I have like very offbeat, cool stories
for coffee.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
May they use this week?
Speaker 2 (18:28):
So there are a bunch of art forgers in Italy, Okay,
and they figured out a way to fake art from
everyone from Picasso to Edvard Monk to Paul Clay. They
(18:49):
found a way to replicate these sort of old looking
prints that Picasso and other artists may aid back in
the eighteen hundreds, late eighteen hundreds early nineteen hundreds by
dipping the paper in coffee to make.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
It look cold and using a paper.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
They would age the paper by dipping it in coffee
and with the right paper, they selected easily repeated images
to produce primarily like line drawings, you know, not complicated paintings,
where they created multiple copies using a printing technique similar
to that of a lithograph. They were so successful as
forgeries that they fooled auction houses and had been distributed
(19:40):
to twenty three different countries. It took a pan European
team of investigators twelve months to track the forgers down
to their workshop in Rome, where they seized over one
hundred forgeries worth over a million dollars.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Wow call because of coffee?
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Is that a But? I wonder like did they smell
like Loffe?
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (20:04):
The art right, I mean I can totally see how
that would work, like visually, Yeah, but you don't test
the paper like you.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Don't test at an auction house. You don't test that.
This is like actually like the age of the paper.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
That's crazy to me, I know, I know, there's actually
a really great audio story from Reveal about all these
crazy forgeries and it's kind of tackling the gallery and
to your point of like, you know, the people were
arrested and the people who bought the things were out
all this money, and somehow the gallery kind of gets
(20:41):
away with this, like there's still this esteemed place where
it's like, wait, why aren't you more involved and.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
On the hook for this?
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Fascinating, fascinating. Uh, Okay, Derek, this is for you.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Okay, there's a new nine thousand dollarsffee maker.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Yeah, I'm on it.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
I know.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
I'm going to tell you it's features, but there's a
there's a twist at the end.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
I'm already in you can I know you are, but
I know you are.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Two independently operating water circulation systems for simultaneous preparation of
coffee and milk foam. A heat exchanger system, A boiler
and pump pressure gauge one point nine liters stainless steel boiler,
quiet rotary pump, professional quick steam and hot water valves,
discrete shot counter display, three selectable temperatures and pre infusion
(21:38):
on off.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Here is the twist.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
It is made from a BMW motorcycle engine.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Oh my god, that's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
I'm gonna show you a picture this thing.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Oh my god. It looks both like beautiful and old
school and like a weird futuristic robot.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
I don't know how.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
That's very cool looking.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
The company is called ECM and it's only making eighty
of these, priced at nine thousand dollars each. They call
it the big Coffee Boxer because it weighs one hundred
and forty pounds.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Oh my god, that's ridiculous. Who is their market?
Speaker 2 (22:26):
And it looks big like you have a like counter
space for this thing.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Yeah yeah, but you know, if.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
You're like a car junkie, oh yeah, and a coffee fan.
This is a million the guy who has everything.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
I feel like that you said it has like a
thing that like a silencer or something something that makes
it quiet. I feel like that's unnecessary. That sounds like
there's some some things.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Sorry. I like the sound of my coffee beer.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Yeah. Yeah. We added in to the to this show
most exactly.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
It's part of the of making coffee is the sound
of it.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Okay, This next story is awesome I am so jealous
of murles Inlet, South Carolina, because in murles Inlet, South Carolina,
apparently you can take.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
A morning boat.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Cruise with coffee. M there's a coffee offering a morning
boat cruise.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
That's perfect.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
You enjoy your coffee on the water, like, this is
all I want.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
That sounds really lovely.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
Okay, my mind immediately thought you were saying that they
fill up a vat with coffee and you get in
a boat and you can like go on a boat
on a big body of coffee.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
That's when you really know you have a coffee problem.
On coffee.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Now you have me thinking that Duncan should do a
coffee amusement park with features like this, like a coffee lake,
m you know, like Hershey Park.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Oh for coffee.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
You're already describing your your restaurant idea totally was like
the character restaurants at like Disney Parks where you can
like meet and greet, like if you have the ability
to like meet Ben Athleck.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
I don't know who would they. I don't know who
they would have for the character Meet and the Great
at Duncan, the.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Guy the donut time to make the donut.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
Okay, Yeah, that guy is just like there and like
we'll come to your neighbor.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Get excited to meet like corporate folks from Duncan. Okay,
these are my rock stars.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
I feel like we've got to try and get that
guy who Stephen Kellogg connect you with on the pod.
What's an I deny your back that we don't know?
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Yeah, but apparently in Merle's Inlet.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
On the inlet, brew Boat offers morning coffee cruises with
brown Fox Coffee offers a discount on your coffee when
you head out on the inlet for the sunrise.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
I mean I love a booze cruise. Yeah, this is
the morning version of that wonderful way to start their day. Yeah,
on a boat with fresh coffee. Yeaheah, that sounds why
this isn't a thing more places. Yeah, I'd pay a
premium for this experience. I love.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
There must be a lake and a rowboat you can
get on with your own I guess I could do
this myself. Cups rowboat cruise.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
I could do this myself. But I love this creativity.
Great idea. Okay, this is a really stupid story.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Hit us.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
This sounds very gen z.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
We don't have a logan the intern Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
To translate this for us, Woman shares incredibly clever drink hack.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Spoiler alert, No it isn't.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Coffee lever Jess shared a video showing an easy hack
that makes milk cartons useful beyond filling up your latte.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Can you guess what's gonna happen?
Speaker 3 (26:09):
I don't think I can now make foam.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Nope, that would be too that would make too much sense.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
For h store your coffee bean dry coffee beans in.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
That would also make too much sense.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Okay, they're turning used milk cartons into drink carriers.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
Oh wait, yeah, okay, Oh I see, I see.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
So you take the milk carton, you turn it on
its side so it's horizontal instead of vertical, and you
cut holes in it to hold like a coffee drink tray.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
You have a very negative reaction to this.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
I think it's stupid. You love this. I think it's stupid.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
I mean it feels like a lot of work, especially
just for two cups because you also have two.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
Oh thank you.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
I don't like Yeah, that's true. You don't like things
that replaced, just the car.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
It all seems like a lot of work, especially considering
the inside of that milk carton is.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Milk, wait and milky then maybe smelly?
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Yeah, so then your cup, I don't know, we'll get this.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Coffee shops are already doing.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
This, what well, Jess is excited about her sustainable discovery.
Commenters noted this hack is already happening in coffee shops
from Australia to Mexico. We've been doing this in New
York City, said another. It's a way for coffee businesses
to reduce overhead by not having, you know that the
coffee trays and they go through several cartons of milk
(27:44):
a week, you know, like, okay, get it.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
I think craft now.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
I think it makes sense because you do go through
a lot of those, You're gonna have a lot of
that way, sure, purpose it.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
But the special oat milk ones, that's what that is.
That little guy, that's what that looks like. Yes, exactly,
because they're only because they aren't getting milk in like
the gallons.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Yeah. I feel like it would be weird if I
were at a New York cafe and then they're passing
me off the garbage.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
But the garbage.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
I do have a question though, Actually my skepticism is
I feel like the function of those trays is the
pressure that it puts on the bottom of the cup
to hold it secure. If you just put a hole
in a in a carton, I feel like the cups
are going to be kind of loose and then they're
they're not going to be useful anyway.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
So I do I do worry about that?
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Well, then it becomes my garbage too.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Maybe someone should just figure out a way to take
all those milk cartons and then more professionally recycle them
into the thing that you know what I mean, Like
these are made out of the milk cartons, but like
you don't notice, and they are still functionally good and.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Like a di y you know, arts and crafts coffee.
Like you we're turning our trash into your take home tray.
Like I'm just not into that. Like, can we have
some standards? Can we are we still a society? Are
we still living in a society?
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Apply apparely knowledge?
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Okay, now this TikTok thing, I'm good with. This is
the last story have you seen on TikTok? The new
(29:42):
trend of coffee buckets.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
Sounds like something you would love. I don't even know
what it is.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
It's just like a hell a lot of coffee.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
It's a drink, a giant bucket of coffee.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Oh you know how people are, like, our water bottles
are increasingly getting cartoonishly large.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Yeah, yes, they're doing this for coffee.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Local coffee shops across the US are now selling clear, plastic,
thirty two ounce buckets of iced coffee to customers. And
obviously you can add whatever sweetener's, milks, or flavors you want.
Any of our lattes can be made in a bucket
as long as it's iced, and it consists of four
shots of espresso, oh my god, eight to ten ounces
(30:28):
of milk, and then whatever syrups go with the flavor
that they selected. And then we also offer a cold
foam topping. This is knock to a coffee, but apparently
they're happening all over the country.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
And then I love At the end of this it says,
if you're sensitive to caffeine, you might want.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
To avoid these glorious buckets sweet least share them with
a loved one.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
I'm glad they gave the warning. I know it's a
lot of coffee that's too.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
I couldn't drink that much coffee even if I wanted to.
I don't think I could drink that much coffee.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Definitely sounds good for sharing, but hilarious and Instagram and
then and then you could take it to the beach,
share it with your friends, and then hand it off
to the kidnexs to you to play with.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
However, and before we got on air, we were talking
about yetties and our products that keep our beverages cold.
A plastic ice bucket is not keeping your beverage cold.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
For very long.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
To chug that puppy.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
And that's going to become watery and gross, and you
can't drink it fast enough.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
To keep it that cold.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
So it actually I think works against you having that
much coffee in a container that you can't keep cold
for very long.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Yeah, what, I appreciate the sentiment behind it.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
Wait, what is the sentiment buckets?
Speaker 1 (31:50):
I want a giant car? Is the sentiment I need
to make a coffee I can get?
Speaker 4 (31:56):
You know?
Speaker 3 (31:57):
I was, I was in Massachusetts last weekend and obviously
stopped at a Duncan, and I noticed that they had
a little advertisement for the Munchkin the beach bucket the
beach bucket. So they're ahead of the game really and
recognize what you use a bucket for.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
That is great and I love the we got the
Munchkin beach bucket. Like the day it came out.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
You get the nurse news alert, so you were prepared.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Why who was aware? I was aware of this was coming.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
And it's great because yeah, I wasn't holding coffee. It's
great for like a Halloween candy bucket, it's great for
the beach.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Like it's an all purpose bucket. It's great.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
Yeah, buckets are having a moment. Like movie theater, popcorn
buckets have become like a huge way of marketing movies.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Yes, oh, like are they specialized.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Yeah bucket.
Speaker 5 (32:51):
I think it started with the Dune one because they
released a dune that looked like the Sandworm and it
looked really inappropate, okay, and so people were making it
became a meme because of that, and then but then
after that, it's because that like took off and went viral.
I think that was the first one. Movie studios have
just been doing the popcorn bucket for all their movies.
(33:13):
Deadpool had a popcorn bucket and like, what's the popcorn
bucket going to be.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Because then you keep it.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
And yeah, unlike the giant souvenir cup, which you only
use for beverages, the bucket is multipurpose.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
You can use that for all kinds of things.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
We need off the cup bucket.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
Yes we do, Yes we do.
Speaker 5 (33:36):
I don't know that there's something unnerving to me about
this era of buckets that we're in because I feel like, like,
where is the where is the class? Where where is
the the care where is the the You.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Just said you wanted a milk carton to carry your
coffee cup.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
No, now you were class.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
That's true, But I feel like I don't know bucket.
Speaker 5 (34:01):
It's just like, I mean, here's the slot, here's your slop,
you know, like if we're eating out of buckets now,
it just I don't know.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
I don't know. Yes, it is.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
It'll like go into the trough.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
It is it is. Yeah, that's okay, at it like
you use it as Halloween. Yeah, I know. Buckets are fun.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
I was just at Ace hardware store because they live
in the country and go to the hardware store like
all the time, and they were having this promotion where
if you donate five dollars to some like kid charity.
Of course, I did you get a free ACE bucket?
Speaker 3 (34:39):
And I was like, yes, I need more buckets.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
I need more buckets. Who can't use another bucket experience.
So you're right, buckets are having a moment.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
Yeah, we are in our bucket era that.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
This is so funny because at ACE, at this very
same interaction, I was by light bulbs and I asked
if they had a specific hind and she goes, yeah,
you want right white or soft? And I said, I'm
in my soft era. You got a huge laugh. But yeah,
(35:16):
I guess I'm in my soft era and my bucket era.
Both of those things go together at ACE.
Speaker 5 (35:22):
Apparently I'm with you on the light when I'm walking
down the street at night, one of my I'm at
my most judgmental when I'm looking at peering into people's
homes and like, oh, I do not like the kelvin
of that. Yes, that that like if it's too you know,
cold or too bright like in the evening's warm. Yeah,
you need like a warm not dim, but you know
(35:42):
you need like you need the right light.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
Have you guys seen the funniest video on this kind
of lighting on this very subject I have ever seen.
This woman is dressed kind of like as an older,
demure sort of country lady, and she's like in what
looks like, you know, her grandma's house, and she's walking
around and turning on the horrendous lights and describing why
she likes. She was like, I like to feel and
(36:06):
look like death, and like so I can't remember what
the quip she made, but I will go find it
and send it to you because I laughed so hard.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Well, there is a trend on TikTok where people are saying, like,
no overhead lights, and if I go to your house
and you have an overhead light on, I'm leaving.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Oh my yeah, I'm not that crazy about it.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
But like people are very specific about the kind of
lighting that they want now, and they're only turning on
like lamps, you know, because had lighting is really rude.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
It's really very harsh.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
It's too much.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
It's not vibe. I don't enjoy it.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
It does not deserve our buckets.
Speaker 5 (36:44):
And I don't remember if the kelvin is supposed to
be more or less, but it's like there somewhere on
that scale, like I want it to be nice yellow.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
You know, warm, warm, like like you're going into the
march House and little women exactly, and it's like candle
lit candles exactly.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
That's what it's a mood to each other.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
I totally agree.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
I do not want to be able to read my
book and that lighting. I need to strain my eyes.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
On my face. I exactly warm, no key lights in sight.
All right, Well, that's it for talking coffee and coffee
news this week. This was really fun, guys, so.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
Definitely all the news that is fit to sip.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
I'm gonna go get a bucket of coffee and a
milk carton to carry it in perfi.
Speaker 5 (37:36):
You might get a gallon carton for that for the
bucket exactly. Half gallon will not do exactly.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
All right, guys, we'll see you next time.
