I used to work for an Egyptian woman and she’d make me a cup of Arabic coffee with a spoonful of sugar but also a spoonful of ginger. I was really hesitant about the idea of ginger in coffee but it was delicious

No questions. I'm a recreational coffee drinker and love to learn more about the craft. Thank you and love your energy

Best of luck with the competition, Morgan. It's been super-informative seeing this whole process and I hope it all goes well!

I was so surprised and excited to see you working with Onyx!! I used to live in NW Arkansas and Onyx was my go to local coffee shop. Their coffee is so flipping good, and it’s so neat to see them getting more and more national recognition.

I love love love this series, I’m learning a lot and having the competition as a framework really helps contextualizing all the new info. Good luck!

Actually i am amazed by your USBC series hence i also wonder are there are more competitions like these... Like for teas... wines... Milkshakes... Slushies.... etc......... Even like for ingredients like milk, butter, sugar, rice,....etc....

Just looks up the eugenioides coffee.... wow. A luxury coffee. I would love to get a coffee by Morgan. You seem like such a passionate barista and I am here for it. I have learned so much about coffee since I started watching you. Thank you!

more cat pls

I need that spring plunger tamp, it looks SO COOL. Also really interesting talk!

It's a nice touch to lead us through your preparation for the competition. Best of luck! I wish I could taste this

Good luck, Morgan! You’re going to do GREAT and wow the judges with your compelling story!

Good luck during the competition! I've learned new things and am now looking up a lot about Eugenioides coffee 😊

Posh coffee stuff is so expensive so I channel my coffee pørn through these videos. Great videos as always 😻

I love these types of videos! All about the beans themselves, and a great way to discover new types of coffee!

This is the most interesting video you've done in my opinion. Love Onyx, keep these coming!

This whole process of documenting your preparation is fascinating! I wonder if any other contestants have done this before, and whether it affected how they did in competition.

You have some wicked courage to make a presentation to some (probably) stone-faced judges. Total admiration here, and best of luck!

i had lavender cream coffee for the first time today, and i am OBSESSED

Nothing like a Morgan video to skip class with ❤️

finally, more specialty coffee content please. i love watching in depth

I think one of the first coffees I got on my Trade subscription was a eugenioides variety (Gimme! Angel BBs). I was surprised by the tiny beans, I the espresso I got out of it was very sweet. I think it's my favorite coffee so far from my subscription. Best of luck at competition, Morgan!

What a blast. Fantastic ideas for coffees. You should do well. Good luck on everything!

Really informative, as I only knew of Arabica and Columbia beans. If this third type of coffee is as you described, I surely would love to try it! The closest I come to doing anything espresso, is through my moka pot, which I just got a few months ago. I’m buying most of my beans through a beanery coffee shop, where they create wonderful coffee blends, and have expanded their operations. Until recently, was content to buy the popular commercial brands of coffee. But after trying a couple of different brands and blends, I have found that the commercial heavyweights are too bitter, sometimes rancid, and just unpleasant. Now I strive to grind my own beans (which I just did before watching your video) and select better coffees. Since finding your channel, I keep coming back to see what else I may have been missing! I’m rooting for you in the competition!

I waited to watch this video like buying a special expensive truffle and waiting to eat it 🤣 thank you for this!!!! I was really wanting this exact video from you!!! I bought a Mexican coffee you recommended once and it quickly became my favorite!!!!! I can’t wait to try these. I love onyx , never tried the one here but I’m about to!!! Ugh love you

This was so interesting. I've never heard of this coffee bean. Good luck in the competition. Also going to get a pair of Vessi shoes. They'll be great for travel and camping!

I love that you partnered with Onyx. Their coffee is so good.

What a coincidence! I just sat down with my cup of coffee and I see you uploaded four minutes ago.

this is ridiculously fascinating. thanks so much for sharing this

I love your energy sm 🧍🏾‍♀️

Very cool, I so want to taste that first coffee it sounds amazing... Good luck on the competition👍☕

This bean sounds amazing. At an amazing price and very limited quantities. Maybe I’ll get a bag for my birthday! Certainly for special occasions only.

This video ! I’m 2 hours away from Onyx . It’s been 2 years … 2 years to long ! Time to jump in the Jeep for a crazy long coffee run lol! Good luck at the competition!

I'm digging that Powell Peralta Mike McGill art behind you at Black Rabbit. That was the art on the first skateboard deck I ever owned. It was the 1980's.

It’s been so fun learning from everything you’ve done in the past few years! I hope you do incredibly well at USBC and have the BEST time! What espresso machine/etc would you recommend? I don’t have a lot of hands on experience but I have been learning so much and plan on doing a lot more with coffee in the future. I think it would be so cool to use coffee as a way to bring people together and just bless others in general! My husband and I have been planning on this for awhile and should be able to afford most of the stuff we need, soon! I would LOVE any advice if you have any!! ❤️

How fascinating to hear you're using a 'resurrected' species of coffee! I look forward to trying it some day. Good luck with the competition!

Awesome to see you are using eugenoides. As always Colombian coffee representing the best coffee in the world.

This is a fantastic video Morgan. I've learned a lot and now you have me intrigued. Thanks! Can you also increase temperature to get more extraction out of the eugenioides or does that make things go bad? All the best for the USBC!

Oh man I’d really like to try Eugenoides!! Good luck with the competition. Awesome

I hope you win! I know it's not just about winning, but this is an opportunity to display all your awesome skills and techniques to the world, and I think you definitely will make some impact there. Good luck!

Good luck to you! I will be rooting for you.

I went to Onyx in Bentonville last September and it was pretty bomb! I love the space that they have. If ever you're in Milwaukee, we have some pretty great roasteries for you to check out.

I‘ve learned so much today 🤯 thx! ☺️

Do you feel that Eugenoides is going to be so on trend that you'll see a lot of your competitors using it? Or do you expect to stand out? When you were planning your routine was it more about what matters to you, or do you also take into account what you might be up against?

I wonder if a blend of Eugenioides beans with either Arabica or Robusta would be something good to try. Maybe there is a way to get both the bolder flavors from typical espresso along with the sweet fruitiness from the Eugenioides. I think this would be something fun to experiment with.

This was a very fun video, thanks for making it! Beyond competition coffees, what are your favorites when it comes to day to day coffee drinking? Do you have recommendations for roasters/suppliers that you think folks should know about and be trying? Are there national/international brands (the kind you can find in grocery stores), local/regional brands (single store/few locations. preferably that sell online too so we can get it), and online only operations that you have tried that you think we might enjoy exploring? I look forward to hearing your thoughts. Keep up the kickass work!!

Love onyx coffee! Got their Columbia Jose Salazar COE #6, it was amazing!

Congrats on the win!

This is quite an expensive variety, with a really high quality score. hoping I could taste it someday.

Really work your work. Keep it up 👍. Love from India.

Very cool and informative video. Fascinating. Thanks.

Excited to one day try some Eugenoides

Well I learned something today. Never heard of that type of coffee specie. Good luck at the USBC. It must be nice having Lance on your team.

Those beans look similar to Puerto Rico’s coffee plantations. I love the low acidity in the coffee it tastes sweet even without milk or oat milk.

That was a really cool passionnate and interresting video !

So glad you're sharing all this information with us. Really interesting learning about the eugenoides. Hopefully one day an opportunity will arise to taste some. It sounds so interesting!

The thing I loved the most about your tik toks is the way you push the drink and you did it to the camera man and I laughed

Good luck!! Hope everything goes as planned 😎

9:31 haven't seen a spring-loaded tamp like that one before... cool!

Good luck at the competition!! Also, Please do one on tea and on cocoa at some point!! By a tea lover (and a coffee sensitive thus hater-it destroying my gut each time)

Good luck Morgan! You have the chops to win!

I know pretty much nothing about coffee, don't even drink coffee, but I love every second of your videos

I saw one of your videos a year or so ago and today I am so stunned by your advance in coffee... how on earth did you accumulate so much coffee knowledge? Any tips for how to learn more about coffee?

That hoodie though!!! Love it!

Good luck! Really excited for htis.

I someway somehow Need to try this Drink. It sounds Exactly like what I am looking for

Awwww your cat looks just like my old family cat Tigger. I miss her. So cute!

Crossing fingers that you will win dear Morgan. The best of luck 🤞😎

I am here for your future Coffee History Nerd that will come around eventually. Show me all the ways coffee is

I wonder if starting with a milk course is a disadvantage because dairy can mute your taste buds for the other rounds. Awesome video!

I really like this video! Best of luck at the competition. If there is a way to watch the USBC live, please let me know! I want to watch it super bad! 😃

Go well and enjoy the competition Morgan

I hope one day you’ll make a video tasting different chain coffee shop espressos and picking out their tasting notes. As a Starbucks barista, I think it would be really interesting

Winning combination for milk course: Eugenoides and Unicorn Milk.

As soon as you mentioned Eugeniodes... That's some interesting thing you're doing there. Can't wait for the performance and best of Luck at the competition

Whoo a new video!!! Also you got this!!!

This sounds like a coffee brag I’d enjoy!

Liked this so fast upon seeing the cat!

that cortado looks delicious, coffee species aside yummy, if its my preffered milk drink

Good luck Morgan after the competition could you do a mocha pot demo or a comparison on different coffees in the mocha pot….

i want to drink the milk beverage you made SO bad. the Eugenoides sounds perfect for me

Thanks for the awesome content!!

I'm considering flying across the ocean to try this milk beverage of yours

the slide will never get old

Don't have anything to contribute really, being a beginner with this sort of thing, so I'll just wish you the very best of luck for the competition!

Looks super delicious 😋 I'm just a home barista but I'm surprised you store the coffee in a simple bag for a couple of weeks. Do you find the vacuum storage over-rated?

Good luck from a fellow Portland resident ☔️☘️

Oooh! Eugenioides made a splash last October in the World Coffee Championships and it’s VERY hard to come by for us common folk who love to try unique coffees.

I want some of this coffee now!!!

The McGill graphic on the wall is the bomb

I wonder since you’re bringing us along for this ride, will we see your set from the competition? Also I hope you win first!!!!

The Eugenioides coffee sounds like it would be amazing to use to make a coffee beer.

Do you already know which machines (grinder and espresso machine) you are going to be using at the competition? Can you choose or are they imposed by the organisers?

We are pulling for you in Maryland!

every time i watch your videos it makes me think that your diet only consists of coffee. i love your videos

Hi! I know some competitors will bring in fruits, or other flavors/ scents to pair with their drinks while serving/ describing them. Would you set like a papaya on the table for the espresso for instance, or a warm confection to waft around for the milk drink?

Lol as someone allergic to coffee/caffeine, I enjoy this channel way too much💀

i want to try this SO bad now
