The team is back together! Fresh off the plane from Milan adventures, the team reflects on a huge week at the World Barista Championship and what it really takes to keep learning, innovating, and competing at the highest level.

From anaerobic fermentation turning unripe cherries into gold, to Maxwell Colonna-Dashwood’s water filtration system that’s changing how we think about quality at home.

Ben and Rohan unpack the difference between innovation and refinement, the hidden realities of judging and coaching competitors, and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with being the one who gives the scores to competitors.

Plus, a market update from Oli at Condesa Co.Lab, bringing you the latest trends in the Market.
