Hi Jeff, The simple consumer hasn't really changed, the info you found should still be relevant. The wiki page on it might be the most useful reference for getting started: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/0.8.0+SimpleConsumer+Example And if you want a version all setup to compile and run, we've included it in Confluent's examples repo: https://github.com/confluentinc/examples
