Stewart Johnson is a respected member of the UK specialty coffee industry, with over two decades of experience in working as an account manager, salesman, director and founder in various companies, and now operating as UK Sales Director of Sanremo Espresso Machines.

Sanremo is an Italian-born espresso machine manufacturing company that have created a wide range of industry-loved coffee machinery in recent years including the infamous Café Racer, Opera, and domestic Sanremo YOU espresso machines.

In this episode, we heard from Stewart about his professional career and background as a classically trained chef, the history of Sanremo and how their product range has developed over recent years, Stewart's philosophy as a salesman, and how coffee manufacturers like Sanremo are supporting baristas into the future.

We also asked Stewart about the industry's reaction to two new pieces of equipment Sanremo have brought to marketing in recent years: the brand new X-One coffee grinder and D8 espresso machine, the story of their development process, and a potential hint at new products that may be coming down the line in the near future.
