Brewing it Over The Roasters Pack

What’s it like to be a competitive barista? What’s it like trying to be the BEST barista in Canada?!?

This podcast dives right into that question.

During the Canadian Barista competition earlier this year (in March 2019), we followed along with Derek Hamers first competitive experience, chatted with his coach Seth Taylor and brought in advice from other seasoned competitors Cole Torode & Anne Cumby.

Thinking about competing?

Curious about what the experience is like?

Looking for tips on how to be the best?!?

Brewing it over. The coffee podcast  where we talk with coffee people about the depths of coffee and what makes it so fascinating. Something for you to brew over while you drink your morning cup.



This being the first longer form episode, it’s rather fitting to talk about the starts. We chatted with Elly Cortez (@ellecortado) & Seth Taylor (@SethTaylorCBD) about their starts and what it was like for them!



Let us know what you think! @TheRoastersPack

The first episode of "Brewing It Over" is something a bit fun - it's an audio brew guide that'll walk you through (in real time) how to brew a delicious AeroPress. This brew guide was designed by the one and only Elly Cortez (the winner of the 2018 Canadian AeroPress Championship). 

Pop in those headphones and we'll guide you through making an AeroPress.

Let us know what you thought at @TheRoastersPack and be sure give Elly a follow @ElleCortado!
