![]() ![]() I’m troubled by Saša’s claims on a couple fronts-not simply because he’s appeared at a curious time, with all the fury, swagger and self-righteousness of a carnival barker-but because of the identity of the villain in the narrative he writes: coffee producers.Īnyone who’s worked extensively with coffees processed by the so-called “carbonic maceration” method popularized by Saša and his companies ONA Coffee and Project Origin likely has noticed the way that the parchment of these coffees can often end up dyed red or pink from contact with decomposing pulp, and that the green coffee itself takes on a slightly orange-red hue. He cautions competitors and judges to be skeptical and aware of the prevalence of these coffees, and positions himself as the arbiter of purity and transparency in coffee. In both pieces, Saša casts suspicion on coffees and coffee producers selling coffees that, he says, are artificially imbued with flavors in an attempt to mimic the coffees his companies offer. The timing is conspicuous-in force with a different, similarly vantaged piece published by Perfect Daily G r ind days prior, Saša Šestić succeeded in centering industry conversation around so-called “infused coffees,” just weeks before baristas from around the world take the stage in Milan to present their coffees at WBC, and where ONA Coffee-Saša’s company-will be present. Herman MelvilleĮvery story needs a villain-and in an industry where the highest achievement many can aspire to is simply not being a villain, at least that measure of success is attainable.īut the power to create a villain-power that comes with status, stature and success-is one that should be regarded with its own caution.Ī couple of weeks ago, this post appeared in Bean Scene Magazine. But what makes House of Jane and Catapult stand out is their pod-like form, which makes them prime for Keurig usage.Īlthough, as Daily Dot points out, because of recent upgrades to the manufacturing, you're going to need an older Keurig machine for the pods to work as intended.I am, as I am whether hideous, or handsome, depends upon who is made judge. ![]() Coffee-drinkers in Washington could already get a little buzz with a cold-brew called Legal. Tedd Wetherbee owns The Gallery pot shop in Tacoma, Washington and he told The Cannibist that the Catapult pods have been a big hit for his store:įurther south in California, House of Jane is making Jane's Brew Gourmet Cannabis-Infused Coffees, which is part of a long line of products from the company, which allows customers to "choose caffeinated or decaf and the dosage needed to meet your needs: focused and alert or relaxed and mellow."Īnd if you don't feel like getting high, Los Angeles-based coffee company Compelling & Rich offers an "herb conditioned" Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee beans (hint: the herb is marijuana). Shops along the West Coast are trying to reap the rewards, according to the Daily Dot. Uncle Ike's isn't the only business getting into the weed-infused coffee market. She added that the coffee pods had a great balance: "I had more energy, but I still had the relaxation you get from cannabis." "I liken it to a Red Bull and vodka," said Jennifer Lanzador, Uncle Ike's sales manager. Uncle Ike's Pot Shop in Seattle sells the product and one employee told Yahoo Business that the pods really work: The cannabis coffee isn't a new trend, but these particular products are.Ĭatapult pods, which are made by Fairwinds Manufacturing, are compatible with standard, single-serve coffee makers and contain 10 mg of THC. It's worth noting that these products are only available in states where marijuana is legal. Weed-infused coffee pods are here and they give a whole new meaning to "wake and bake." ![]()
