Hey, all you beautiful coffee lovers and welcome to Episode 9 of the Home Barista Podcast.
In today's episode, I am joined by an insane crew of coffee professionals, self-confessed coffee nerds, coffee roasters, business owners, and influencers. We are talking about a somewhat controversial topic: "Is Coffee Becoming Boring?" This is a question that has been floating around in my mind for a little while as over the past 6 months I have consumed a couple of bags of coffee that have left me very underwhelmed and just confused. But, this question isn't just about drinking coffee, it is also aimed at the industry itself.
For this episode, I am joined by an insane crew of 4 people (3 of them you have already been introduced to here on the Home Barista Podcast) and the fourth person is making her debut. Let me introduce them to you:
Logan - Co-owner of Hammerstone Coffee and Barista Championship Veteran.
Jaye - Barista, and Roaster at Firsthand Coffee and Coffee Influencer at Your Local Barista NZ on Instagram.
Ant - AKA The Magic Roast. Coffee blogger extraordinaire, Wellington coffee legend, Self-confessed coffee nerd, and a very well-respected advocate of the New Zealand coffee industry.
Last but not least making her debut is Michalina - the YouTube coffee queen aka Coffee That Gives A Puck and also a part-time barista in Christchurch with Switch Espresso.
I invited this crew of people to have this conversation with me as I knew (before we even hit record) that the points they were all bringing to the table are coming from a deep wealth of knowledge, passion, hard work, and pure love for coffee that made for one of the best conversations I have been a part of, for a long time. So good in fact, this is a 2 part episode.
ANYWAY, less reading and more listening. Make sure you have a delicious cup of coffee in hand and hit that play button.
