Episode Description from the Publisher

Roasterkat IG Reel about rain. YouTube version of the Q&A portion James Hoffmann Healthy Coffee Video The 2025/2026 Harvest has not gone according to plan. Nick and I have found ourselves with some down time and therefore have put together this casual, end of year update on how the season is going so far. Spoiler alert: not well. I've combined a harvest update with listener questions about fermentation. Questions featured in this episode are: Are all coffees that are not anaerobic, aerobic? Am I aware of any efforts to design yeasts for Robusta? Do I think producers should create terms that further describe processing? How can you more precisely measure fermentation process with whole cherries? What's the most eco-friendly way to treat waste water and effluent?
