The Cat in Cloud Coffee podcast is sponsored by Steeped Coffee. Steeped Coffee is a new brewing method.

It combines specialty craft coffee into a single serving bag. You don't need a machine. You don't

have to make a mess. All you have to do is add hot water wherever you go. Each seatpack is

individually sealed. It's nitrogen flush, so it stays fresh, and it's got this special

full immersion filter, and the filter is ultrasonic sealed, which means it's sealed together

with no glue or no staples, so there's no weird stuff floating around in your coffee.

Steeped is a benefit B Corp. They ethically source all their coffee, their packaging is fully compostable,

and they believe that business should be done without compromise. You can get your hands on steeped coffee packs at steepedcoffee.com. That's

S-T-E-P-E-D coffee.com asking your local retail stores to start carrying steeped or having your

favorite roastery reach out and kind of get in touch. If you're in Santa Cruz, come on by any of the Cat and Cloud locations. We have it there for you. Basically, they're just doing their best to change the coffee industry, make your life more convenient with their pre-portion, pre-ground innovation. So tell all your friends. What is Cracken, everybody? Welcome to the Cat and Cloud copy podcast. Today we've got an epic interview from Kat Melheim. Kat is a barista. She's a

roaster. She's just an all-around coffee professional. And recently, she's been taking to creating,

curating, publishing, going A to Z on a zine. It's called the Coffee People's Zine. You can find

it at coffeepeople.org, not coffeepeople.com, not dot com.com will take you

to weird places. Coffeepeople.org. I met Kat at the SCA Expo weekend. We had a little chat at the

La Mirzocco Cafe, and it was just, I don't know, she kind of melted my mind open. One, I thought

it was awesome that someone wanted to take the time and make something that's a physical product when it's so easy to just throw

things online. And her inspirations for wanting to pull art, pull stories, and pull all these

things from different people, it just really speaks to me in a special way. So I knew I had to get

her on the podcast.

And here she is.

I'll let you get right into it.

This is Kat Milheim, Coffee People, Zine.
