Ken explains that he has tried to make the book accessible with pairing information through photographs and captions, tables, and easy to read text. He also mentions that it is a heavy book, so it is not something to curl up with, but something to use. Jennifer agrees that it is an amazing resource for a new person or industry.</p><ul><li>Ken and Kevin's Coffee Series</li></ul><p>Ken and Kevin have been friends for years and have been working on a Youtube series called We're Calling It Coffee ists. The series involves Ken tasting and smelling five coffees and trying to identify them within the scope of what they're doing. Kevin is doing the heavy lifting with editing and full balance, and they are looking for sponsors to help with the project. Ken has already tasted and smelled some coffees and has been able to identify them correctly.</p><ul><li>Kenneth discusses the challenges of revising his home roasting book.</li></ul><p>Kenneth is revising his home roasting book and is facing the challenge of presenting a wide range of possibilities in a way that is still enthusiastic and accessible. He is also considering the changes in green coffee and the debate around roasting in the same room as a home coffee roaster. Jennifer Stone brings up the idea of green coffee being more accessible and Kenneth reflects on how it was hard to find a range of green coffee when he wrote his first book.</p><p>Jennifer Stone and Ken discuss coffee, the Coffee Review, and the JStoneCollective.</p><p>Jennifer Stone and Ken have a conversation about coffee, discussing topics such as Costa Rica, Sumatra, Colombia, and San Francisco. They also talk about Ken's book, the Coffee Review, and the J Stone Collective, which is Jennifer's upcoming Instagram-driven brand. Jennifer is also now a lecturer for the Coffee Quality Institute. They end the conversation with Ken asking Jennifer to keep him posted on when the J Stone Collective will go live.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
