Wonderful Podcast for learning about coffee!!!

Coffee has come a long way! This is a cutting edge podcast that talks all about coffee, including history and how exciting it is now! I really love learning about the science breakdown of modern fermenting techniques! I am looking forward to the next episode 😀
