Episodes are very well produced and edited. The stories and information provided are fascinating even if you’re not too interested in the actual science of coffee but I dare you to not taste, smell or think of your next cup of coffee differently after listening! I must also add that the piano...Read full review »

Definitely pushed me to investigate which roasters in my area are paying a real price for coffee that will pay growers a living wage.

This is a very very in-depth coffee industry podcast James goes in very deeply to all of the stories behind roasting producing and drinking coffee. It is really really worth listening to. I am a coffee roaster for the unseen Bean coffee Company.

Whether you like coffee or not is irrelevant, but it's the common thread weaving these stories, as all the episodes are directly or tangentially related to coffee- growing, harvesting, brewing, serving, drinking... BUT every story is about so much more than the coffee. This show is absolutely...Read full review »

As a non-specialty-coffee guy, I listened to my first episode of Filter Stories because of my son, who is. His set-up was strong, “...I really like it” and “We hosted him in Nicaragua when he was searching for stories”. Add to this that my son is the one who introduced me to the mind-opening...Read full review »
