We're North Shore Specialty Coffee, and we think that life is just better when you're sippin' on somethin'. At a coffee shop, at a brewery, at a distillery, life is all about shared moments, and those that make us obsess over the flavors that go into the cup. We just get to enjoy them. We think that there's something special in the magic of, "Try this," and then the connections that come from that. So think of this like a never ending happy hour or something where we just get to geek out together and talk about flavor and human connection.

Kyle Ramage: Mississippi Roots, Black & White Coffee Dreams

Join host Trey Malone for an inspiring journey through the world of specialty coffee with Kyle Ramage, the 2017 US Barista Champion and co-founder of Black and White Coffee Roasters. In this heartfelt conversation, Kyle shares his remarkable path from a small Mississippi town to coffee competition glory, revealing the unexpected science behind his championship-winning technique of freezing coffee beans before grinding.

Discover how Kyle's groundbreaking research with computational chemist Christopher Hinden led to revolutionary insights about coffee grinding and temperature control - even though their original thesis turned out to be completely wrong! Kyle opens up about the challenges of entrepreneurship, from making life-changing decisions to working 100-hour weeks building Black and White Coffee.

From touching moments with Honduran coffee producer Benhamin Paz to serendipitous connections across the global coffee community, this episode celebrates how coffee creates authentic human connections and transforms lives - both for those who grow it and those who serve it.
