Wade and Bill review Gorilla Summit roasted by Panther Coffee in Miami (recommended by Erick, thank you!) and grown in Mabare, Uganda. Bill gives homework to go study Ugandan history pre 1970, we find out Wade has never had a raspberry lemonade, and Bill does not follow Wade's instructions which does not surprise anyone. And is an exceptional coffee defined by sprinkles? Yes. Yes, it is.

Wade and Bill host Jedi Master Eric, co-owner and founder of Alana's Coffee Roasters. Eric shares his thoughts on creating Alana's,  this Guatemalan coffee, and the coffee industry as a whole. A little bit of roasting in a popcorn machine, and it's over because this coffee has the high ground.

Episode 6. Return of the Sprinkles. A single origin coffee grown by Johnny Alvarado in Buena Vista de Rivas, Costa Rica is straight bussin. This Winnie the Pooh inspired bean takes front and center in this episode as Bill mocks Wade's introducing style. Don't be surprised by the Inquisition though, you should have seen this coming...

Episode 5. Colombia Microlot Series grown by Diego & Marta Casso in Huila, Colombia. Is it pronounced hoolah? Way-la? We-la? *shakes magic 8-ball* "All signs point to cocaine". Hmmm... Maybe I'll just have another bite of pie. Join Wade and Bill as they continue their search for sprinkles, and don't forget (like Wade did) to use IRVINGFRIEND15 for a 15% discount if you plan on ordering.

Episode 4. Wade and Bill review a bean from Minanga Village in Indonesia that was roasted in Madison WI by JBC Coffee Roasters. Clog cladded oppressors, WWII, and a battle with coffee rust all lead to a 50% woman owned business bringing us some sprinkles. Orange zest, cucumber, mint, and chocolate; that's a lot of sprinkles, buddy.

Episode 3. Wade and Bill explain their brew process/equipment: A folded crane wanes near a pond, a goose rests above a bubbling spring, and roasted earth is flooded. All of these come together to create a coffee meditation. Namaste, but seriously where tf are the sprinkles?!?!

Casual coffee bro Bill and barista/roaster Wade review Muthathai (moo-ta-tie) grown in Kenya roasted at Cooperative Coffee in Asheville, NC. Grown at +5300'  these tiny little beans have some bold tasting notes of green apple, key lime, and molasses but not all sprinkles are created equally.

First episode of the search for exceptional coffee (with tons of sprinkles). Wade and Bill talk about dialing in a bag of Alma Pineda grown in Honduras and roasted at Metric in Chicago. Audio issues, a tasty birthday roast, and some juicy beans to be reviewed as well as given away (thank you Metric!) Wtf is a sprinkle meter anyways.
