Freshly Brewed: The Coffee Podcast for Home Brewers

This week I sit down with Joey Roth, the mastermind behind the Osma Pro, which is a countertop cold espresso machine.

Joey is an inherently curious person and coffee enthusiast, which has culminated in researching the idea of cold espresso. This was a fascinating conversation learning about the process of creating the Osma Pro and the science and technology behind it.

David is passionate not only about coffee and the roasting process itself but also taking the next step in the specialty coffee journey of advocating for coffee farmers and all those on the long line of the coffee production process. David and his business partner, Sophie, started Rabbit Hole Roasters in 2019 by renting time on a roaster and now since August 2020 they have opened up their own roasters in Delson, Quebec.

This week I sit down to talk with Drago Tomianovic, who is a professional photographer who also works professionally in coffee, which is a rare but exciting combination.

I really enjoyed this conversation talking all things coffee and photography.

Today I have the privilege of sitting down to chat with Nükhet who is from Turkey and has done just about everything in coffee including being a barista and a roaster. She has a fascinating story of how she overcame many challenges and found her way into the coffee industry. In addition to being an avid coffee lover she creates beautiful design work for coffee companies including Comandante. I absolutely loved getting to know Nukhet a bit more and I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.
