Grounds For Confusion: Separating Bean From Blarney
Season 4 · Episode 11
mercredi 11 juin 2025 • Duration 10:07
In this final episode of the season, I take off my roaster’s apron and put on my consumer hat as I explore the supermarket coffee aisle to see how much the labels on coffee bags really tell us. Armed with a single origin Kenya and a premium own-brand blend, I compare what the packaging promises versus what’s actually in the cup. From roast levels and brew advice to origin detail and flavour accuracy, I ask: can you judge a coffee by its label? Tune in to find out which bag came out on top and why sometimes, spending just 35p more is the difference between a decent brew and a bitter disappointment.

The coffee in your cup takes quite the journey to get from growing on a bush in the subtropics to being served in your local cafe.

I am also very excited to announce that I will shortly be releasing a puzzle book called ‘Wordsearch For The Coffee Curious’ to celebrate 25 years working in the coffee industry.
