Talking Coffee with Stephen Hall
Welcome to Curiocity! Where we seek to understand culture creators in Indianapolis. Today we are stoked to have Steve Hall on the podcast. Steve is the co-founder of Tinker Coffee his bio on the Tinker Website reads: A firm believer in the power of a drip coffee with an espresso shot chaser, Steve is the former wine guy turned software guy turned cafe guy that helps get Tinker Coffee from the roaster to your home. When he's not doing account work, Steve is definitely responding to one million emails.
Steve has a fantastic breakfast, and I highly recommend owning your morning in the way that he does. He highly recommends these burgers which you can buy at Costco: Morning Start Burgers
