MORNING VIDEO ANNOUNCEMENTS: “Give your guest a juicy slice.”

Sprudge Editors — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 18:30:41 +0000

Café owners take note: this Wendy’s training video from the early 90s is inspirational, thoughtful and completely brilliant. Sprudge want to see more coffee videos like this. Can you imagine Espresso Vivace’s David Schomer doing a slow-groove tamp posture demo? We can. We really, really can.

The closest we’ve seen is Washington, DC’s murky coffee’s training videos:

Hooked On Syphonics: Beautiful New Video From Jacob Forrest

Bubbles

With the look of a Chris Cunningham music video, Jacob Forrest’s new Vimeo video on syphon brewing is stunning.

From Chemically Imbalanced:

the thing about syphon brewing is that it is both all the rage (in specialty circles) and completely unknown (to most consumers). it’s an eye-catcher, like certain espresso machines, but completely anti-industrial and pleasantly simple. it offers itself as a bit of glass-and-liquid bar art, then reveals itself as a piece of scientific intrigue.

and so the idea was to capture the paradox in a short film

Bartenders, Baristas Bewitched By Baileys Booze Bucks

Bully For Baileys

Michael Phillips, Chris Baca and Ryan Willbur have all been featured in Bailey’s new Facebook promotion. It’s the “5 o’Clock Coffee Break”, which we all know means a mustachioed 1920s barkeep, iced coffee, a frightened looking barista and plenty of creamy sugar booze.

And there wouldn’t be a Sprudge.com without:

No Rest: All-In-One Roaster / Grinder / Coffee Maker Swings, Misses

All Looks

Fresh roasted coffee needs more than a few minutes to rest before brewing. It doesn’t take a Director of Advancing Ingenuity and Developing Brilliance to tell you that. Entertaining video, beautiful device, terrible coffee. Best served for roasting Kopi Luwak, on your 80 foot yacht, before sleeping on your bed of money, after doing a double gainer off the diving board in your Scrooge McDuck money vault.

Coffee Schmuck of the Week: Ajax Of All Trades, or, Throw Mama From The Drano

: Jesse Vasquez

Meet Jessie Vasquz, the man who took Dark Roast to a dark place.

Police say on Sunday morning, Vasquez walked into Dallas Fire Station #752 and told one of the firefighters, “I just put poison in my mother’s coffee.”

“He got some Ajax, some bleach cleaner, and poured it in the coffee grinds for her morning coffee”. According to the police report, Mr. Vasquz admitted he put the bleach in her coffee, but he didn’t say why.

This man’s reaction is entirely reasonable. And yes, for the record, we also can’t believe it took so long for us to think of running this on Sprudge.

4th Wave of Eyeliner

Watch out for the “slightly eggy nose” with this brew method: Norwegian Egg Coffee. Out of San Francisco’s Ritual Coffee Roasters. Just like Grandma’s sound ground.

"Coffee Bong?"

Adult Swim online has posted this stunning exclusive cupping sesh featuring Kyle Glanville and Madlib, the LA-based producer, DJ, multi-instrumentalist and MC best known for his work with MF Doom and The Alkaholiks.

Due to the Charlie Croker-esque eccentricities of Ted Turner, Adult Swim’s dark overlord, we are unable to embed this video directly onto Sprudge. Please cruise over to AdultSwim.com and check out the video in its entirety.

While you’re there, spend a moment in Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace.

Jermaine Stewart & Nick Cho: Together At Last

Sprudge Editors — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 17:16:46 +0000

Two of our favorite things:

1. Jermaine Stewart’s Frantic Romantic
2. Nick Cho’s YouTube videos

Now, together for the first time, Nick & Jermaine make a terrific Hario V60 Brew Method video. Nick’s trademark snark and Jermaine’s trademark funk rock disco. Heaven.

Cho admittedly makes an inferior cup in the video, which makes it all the more endearing.

Let’s get to know each other better, slow & easily.
Take my hand, let’s hit the floor.
Shake our bodies to the music.
Maybe then you’ll score.

While we have your attention, watch this other nickcho1 video from his recent visit to Korea. The slowest drip we’ve ever seen.

If you’re still with us, why not check out Jermaine’s sexy video I Like It. We love it!

Giant Filter

There is a non-stop flow of amazing coffee content coming out of Japan.

Their multimedia approach to advertising, education and promotion is a glory to behold. We’d personally give anything to have American television adverts like these ones produced by Hario for Japanese TV. Just check out that glowing line of Hario products! They sparkle to the touch!
