I'm on the Home Barista Podcast! (again)

Is coffee becoming boring?

I had the absolute pleasure of joining some of the legends of the Aotearoa coffee scene in recording an episode of the Home Barista Podcast.

What did we talk about?

Sean, The Drumming Barista, wanted us to talk about whether coffee is becoming boring. It was an really incredible discussion where we dive deep into the state of the coffee industry, here in New Zealand and internationally.

There are some hot takes, some disagreement and a lot of great discussion!

So much discussion that this is a two parter!

At one point, I even said “New Zealander’s need to give themselves an upper cut sometimes.”
