Does anyone remember when condiments bars in coffee shops fell out of fashion? Seems like these days we’re doctoring up our coffees with all kinds of creative condiments. Butter, mustard, pickle brine, orange juice, protein powder\u2014but perhaps we’ve found an additive that will please the condiment-heavy consumer and the condiment-curious purist! We’re talking about Slow Pour Supply Ajax Lab Mineral Water Concentrates<\/a>\u2014drops that can be added to brew water or<\/em> brewed coffee!<\/p>\n

On today’s episode of The Coffee Sprudgecast, hosts Jordan Michelman and Zachary Carlsen drip drop minerals, dish about coffee events and the seventeenth annual Sprudgie Awards (noms open November 10!) Michelman discusses his experience at HOSTMilano, the massive food convention that played host to the 2025 World Barista Championship, and the La Marzocco Out of the Box Event in Milan: fresh coffee, new gear, hot collabs, and frothy gossip.<\/p>\n
