  Hey, great idea Brent. We'll certainly put that on the list of ideas for upcoming shows. We like it when that list gets longer, instead of shorter ;)

  Hi Poul;
  
  Poul, you were mentioning ideas or questions to cover in future shows. What do you think about a show on the different processing techniques (washed, natural and pulped natural) and how much these processes can affect the outcome of the bean. I think it would be educational and interesting to hear how taste, mouth feel and body, dry fragrance etc, are influenced by different processing techniques. The bean itself, farming methods, and the terroir, as well as roasting methods and profile play a large part in the final outcome, but can't that also be shaped by how the bean is processed?
  In Ethiopia, unlike many Central American countries that use one method, or mostly one method, I understand all the different processes are used depending on the region. Natural processing for the Harrars, washed for Yirgs and so on. I've read many Brazils are pulped naturals. The Amaro Gayo you guys carry is an excellent natural, and I certainly look forward in the future to trying others. hint hint
  So what do you think about a video on processing methods ?

  Hey thanks Tony.
  
  Our apologies for the glitch at the end. We're still figuring out the technology and occasionally it gets the better of us.
  
  Glad you like the show, and we'll certainly continue to try to find interesting coffee topics to cover.
  
  If anyone has ideas, or questions they would like covered in future shows, this is a great place to post them!

  This is proving to be a most interesting series filling in a number of gaps in my knowledge of coffee.
  The latter part of the 'cupping' video was garbled in my copy but the major part of the of the episode was interesting and informative. As in wine tasting I am always impressed when the taster finds so many different aromas and flavours in the samples. The series has made me appreciate the 'educated palates and noses' that decide on the coffee that I buy and enjoy.
