Thoughtful and needed
Real coffee talk from real coffee people. I love the candor and the curiosity in these conversations. The world of coffee roasting is often a confusing one and these guys make more accessible. Great work!
I’d enjoy hanging with these guys
I’m an avid home coffee roaster and find this podcast to hit the right notes: extremely informative without being snooty or elitist, yet not dumbed down. These guys know that anyone can learn to become a skilled roaster no matter the demographic. Their discussions are relatable, funny, thoughtful, socially aware, honest and helpful. Excellent work.
Fun and Informational
Just discovered these guys and found out they’re local to my area! Really been diving into the deep end of roasting, starting to home roast, and plan to start a roastery. The variety and simplicity that they explain things with, while having a great enjoyable time, makes this a top notch podcast in my tool kit! 10/10
