Zedd Talks ‘Severance’ Performance, BLACKPINK Collab: Watch

Before his interview, Zedd shows off his barista skills, demonstrating the art and science of crafting the perfect latte. He opens up about his experience performing for the massive Coachella crowd, his collaboration on Dragon Ball DAIMA, the yearslong journey behind his album Telos, the enduring success of Clarity, a potential collab with BLACKPINK, teases an upcoming project and more!

Katie Bain: So we’re here with Zedd, noted latte expert, and he’s going to make us a latte. I think, first, before we do any of this, tell us what it is that you love about lattes, and how much time have you invested into making the perfect latte?

Zedd: I started loving coffee, maybe, like, three years ago. And my main reasoning was, one, I love the coziness and the warmth, the ritual. And the other thing is, I read that it makes you less hungry, and I’m always hungry. OK. So I was like, “Hey, if it makes me eat less food and I can lose some weight, I’ll try coffee.” That’s how it started. 

Appetite suppressant. 

Yep.

Got it. 

And then, as with many things in my life, if I like something, I need to know everything about it. So that’s how we got to this obnoxious amount of equipment and–

Case in point. 

Beans. So we started a spreadsheet and started ranking every bean– 

What?

Our own system to figure out, like, what’s acidic, what’s sweet, what’s bitter to understand beans. Now fast forward, I have my own roaster, and I can roast my own beans. But, long story short, I have been getting better at making good lattes. I’m not anywhere near where I want to be, but you can tell me how it is when I make you one. Well, let’s take us through it. What’s step one? Step one is, well, we need to grind the beans. First of all, we pick our beans.

OK, can we do a little bean tour? Can you give us, like, a few of your favorites? Give me the options.

Keep watching for more!
