Interview with Jess Steffy from Square One Coffee Pt. 1

Tim Wendleboe and Maxime Boegler talk about who might want a color sorter and for what reason, and why it's important to Tim as someone who sells high-quality coffees.

On this podcast, we had the honor of interviewing Tim Wendelboe, founder of the roastery and espresso bar, Tim Wendelboe, in Oslo, Norway. We talked to Tim about his roast profile and why his roastery only uses one for all of his coffees. We also talk to Tim about his refined cleaning routines, how the color sorter has improved his coffee quality, and how to deal with bottlenecks in the production line. This is our second interview with Tim Wendelboe. Our first interview was about roastery efficiency.

Michael Williams, Sovda COO, talks about Sovda's new custom engineering initiative and how Sovda is making way for custom projects.

This is Part 2 of our fascinating interview with Jess. Co-founder of Square One Coffee Roasters, Jess Steffy, talks about starting a coffee farm from scratch and where she sees the future of coffee going.

Jess Steffy, co-owner of Square One Coffee Roasters in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, talks about how Square One was affected by COVID but also the exciting new projects that the award-winning roastery has in the pipeline and how Sovda's Pearl Mini color sorter has helped them achieve those dreams.

Steve Turner, founder of Polite Coffee Roasters in Bryan, TX speaks on how coffee roasters can have more ownership in the supply chain and uses his background in agricultural finance to ponder how producers can have more ownership in the supply chain.

Co-founder, Maxime Boegler, and Technical Brand Ambassador, Nicholas Flatoff, talk about Sovda's origins and how and why Sovda strives to create affordable roasting equipment: from aiming to include small roasteries to combining expensive machines to being a vertically integrated company.

Sovda Technical Brand Ambassador and fellow coffee lover, Nicholas Flatoff, spent an afternoon playing with our Pearl Mini optical sorter and photo fluorescent beans to create a surprisingly delightful cup of coffee.

In this episode, Jon Allen talks about the nuances of color sorting and roast recipes, what he's currently excited about in coffee and where he sees the industry going.
