Breath of fresh air
This podcast has accompanied me on all of my walks and runs for the past couple of weeks. I'd been following the instagram account for a while already (which you should totally check out if you haven't) and finally made some time to actually listen to the podcast. And I am so very happy I did. The super wide variety of guests, from cyclists, to people steeped in the service aspect of Specialty coffee, to people who just make coffee a really intense hobby at home make each show an entirely new listening experience. I worked as a barista for years and have since made coffee my primary hobby like many of the guests on the show. As someone who has devoted a lot of time to understanding coffee, two things consistently surprise me about every episode. 1. I learn something new in every episode. Even in the episodes where they discuss the more basic aspects of brewing coffee, Alex and his guest somehow always create some synergistic gems of coffee and life wisdom. I really appreciate that. Be on the lookout for them. 2. There can be a lot of univitingness (not a real word...) and pretention in Specialty Coffee. That never rears it's head here. Alex, Stacy, and all of the guests are simply people who really care to better their lives through the simplicity of really great coffee and don't get distracted by all of the weird pride and mis-placed condescending energy that sometimes comes through at even the best coffee shops. Bottom line: this show is FUN to listen to. It's a learning experience and almost a social one - all of the guests are so genuine and interesting to hear from. Little shout out to Alex - your interviewing was never bad, but your dry humor and interviewing style has developed so much in 14 short episodes. I really appreciate the growth. Love how you guys are producing this with no frills. I've always thought that coffee is best with great people and great conversation and this podcast only proves that. Keep up the awesome work guys. Can't wait for episode 15!

More reviews of I Brew My Own Coffee
I have learned so much from these guys. From espresso to just black coffee, this podcast has it all. You don't have to know too much about coffee to follow what Brian and Bryan are talking about. 6/5 stars

I started following Brian and Bryan on social media and then learned of this podcast and started listening in. This podcast makes me feel a bit more normal since I have too many ways to brew coffee at home and also like to stay up to date on coffee topics, reasearch, and events. That's not to...Read full review »
