Episode 07: Folger's, My Madeleine

Pure Happiness Coffee is a poetic exploration of the specialty coffee world. In 2023, I finished a PhD in Poetry (seriously!) and for the last two years I've been writing about my passion for coffee on instagram. This podcast is an audio version of that writing, plus long-form pieces about many aspects of the coffee world, all told in my distinctive poetic philosophical style. The goal of the podcast is to provide a unique lens on the coffee world, one that will inform you about many of the most exciting recent developments in coffee, while offering a poetic, meditative daily experience.
