Totally Dissolved

It's Coffee Competition season! For all you curious and eager to learn about competitions, this episode is for you. We discuss the ins and outs of competitions with the wonderful and knowledgeable Kain Adams, who will let you know if your espresso really is up to par. Kain Adams is the chairperson of the US Barista Competition Committee. They’ve been in coffee for 7 years and have been inspired by competitions since the beginning. They work for La Colombe as the West Regional Educator, and love a good PSL as much as a competition winning s.o. espresso.

Join us for Episode 2 as we sit down with Laila Ghambari and tap into her wide-ranging knowledge of coffee education, training, and general coffee badassery. Dropping on Tues, 15 March!!! Laila Ghambari got her start in coffee over 15 years at her family’s business, Cherry St Coffee House in Seattle, where she won the title of United States Barista Champion in 2014. She currently works for Stumptown Coffee Roasters as the Director of Cafes. Once a coffee snob, she now drinks her coffee with cream and sugar while juggling her three kids.

Hey Coffee Peeps! In Episode 01, Kathie and Bronwen introduce Totally Dissolved and discuss who they are, what this is all about, and why this podcasts exists. This is not about coffee basics, you can Google that ish. A little fun and always coffee nerdy. Thanks for listening!
