Technology and coffee prices have always been a hot topic of discussion in the coffee industry.

With inflation and other factors putting pressure on the supply chain, many people are questioning the price of their morning coffee. I spoke with Joe, one of the owners of Rumble Coffee Roasters to get a little more perspective.

We also spoke about the development in coffee processing methods and the story of how Rumble started and where it is going. A huge thank you to Joe and everyone for tuning in.

For those that are interested, you can check out Rumble on their socials at @rumblecoffee and Double Dutch at @doubledutchbakery
