The Coffee Podcast
Are you a coffee lover? What if I told you there’s so much more to coffee than just enjoying the ritual and drinking it? What if I told you there’s a whole world to explore, and it all starts with looking beyond your cup? That’s what The Coffee Podcast sets out to do.
In the first 20 or so episodes, we discussed how to brew better coffee, but now, 8 years in the making, we focus on People-Focused Coffee Talk. Join us in the conversation as we learn about history, science, art, and more through the lens of coffee!
