Listen to this amazing panel discussion hosted by The Italian Coffee Guy – Stefano Duranti who planned, prepared and hosted the very informative discussion, covering a wide range of topical coffee related details.
This panel discussion was held at previous Festivals and over both days for this weekend, the recording available for listening was recorded on the Saturday.
This was made possible by Ronni, who was the mastermind behind the scenes on the microphone and editing, and the accompanying video reel was shot, edited and recorded by Henry, thanks to them and all the participants, supporters and public that took part.
Without you this would not have been possible, including the staff of Café Natura and the company’s that provided the support and sponsorship, big love.
