I'M NOT A BARISTA: Voices of the Coffee World

Welcome to "I'M NOT A BARISTA," the podcast that brews conversations with the heartbeat of the coffee industry. 

Dive deep into the world of beans and brews as we chat with coffee aficionados from every corner of the globe. From the bustling streets of the world's coffee capitals to the quiet corners of local coffee shops, we bring you stories, insights, and tips that percolate with passion.

Our episodes are a blend of vibrant narratives. We chat with world champions and unsung heroes alike because we believe in the universal truth – everyone has a story worth hearing. Whether you're looking for the secret behind the perfect cup, curious about the journey of a bean from farm to mug, or itching to hear the challenges and triumphs of running a café, we've got a sip of everything.

You could be a seasoned barista, a homebrewer just starting out, or someone who simply loves a good coffee tale; "I'M NOT A BARISTA" is your cozy nook in the vast world of coffee conversations. And remember, you don’t have to be famous or a coffee virtuoso to join us. Today’s listener could be tomorrow’s guest. Because in this world of aromas and flavors, every voice deserves a moment in the spotlight.

So, pull up a chair, pour yourself a cup, and let's steep in the stories of the coffee world together. Cheers!
