https://simplecast.com Taste & See Saint Frank Coffee has spent over a decade building relationships with the same farmers, in the same challenging places, because we think the best things come from showing up and digging deep when it's hard. This is a show about people who work that way in their own fields—with their hands and with people. It’s about what it costs them, and what it gives back as they discover meaning and connection. 2026 Saint Frank Coffee en Wed, 28 Oct 2026 19:39:11 +0000 Wed, 28 Oct 2026 19:58:48 +0000 https://taste-see.simplecast.com Taste & See https://image.simplecastcdn.com/images/ccc9c21d-d7c7-470a-91e9-5b534185d29b/fc613484-991f-4809-83f8-2de7b6bcc55b/3000x3000/cropped-1790298544151.jpg?aid=rss_feed https://taste-see.simplecast.com episodic Saint Frank Coffee has spent over a decade building relationships with the same farmers, in the same challenging places, because we think the best things come from showing up and digging deep when it's hard.

Jak Michael Ryan won the 2026 US Barista Championship as himself: a former professional dancer from Melbourne who spent years believing that doing things his way meant he’d never get his time in the sun. He sat down with Kevin Bohlin at the Saint Frank roastery in San Francisco, before leaving for the World Barista Championship in Panama.

Jak won with a coffee grown by Benjamín Paz in Honduras. Saint Frank’s Jason Yeo placed second with the same coffee, and Jake McFarland competed with it too.
