These conversations serve as the foundation for every chat we've had with a coffee professional since.

Edwin and Magda Harrison (and their family) took a break—kind of—from running Curious Roo Coffee Roasters, Artisan Coffee, and Artisan Coffee School to deliver a bag of coffee from London, U.K. to Perth, Australia. The Guinness World Record setting delivery took 199 days. Then they joined the Coffee People podcast.
