    The Coffee Series: Ep.3 - Specialty and the Future of Coffee

    How do you actually choose your coffee? In the series finale, Alejandro and Ishita decode everything on your coffee bag: single origin vs. blends, washed vs. natural processing, and the Costa Rica-invented honey method (which does not involve actual honey or bees, mind you). They unpack what specialty coffee really means, how caffeine tricks your brain into ignoring fatigue, and why instant coffee packs surprisingly less punch. The talk turns serious, as any good episode of Espression should, when they tackle the future of coffee, including shrinking farmland, rising prices, climate change threatening Arabica crops, and the small farmers producing 60% of the world’s supply. A thoughtful and eye-opening discussion that will change the way you think about your morning cup.

    The Coffee Series: Ep2. - Inside a Coffee Shop Business (w/ Luka Gorgoshidze)

    What does it really take to run a coffee business? Alejandro and Ishita welcome self-proclaimed coffee expert Luka Gorgoshidze, whose family runs Marron, a pioneering pastry shop in Georgia. Luka pulls back the curtain on sourcing beans from Italy, balancing speed with quality, and why your barista matters more than any machine. The conversation takes a fascinating cultural turn as they explore the third place concept and why coffee shops are social hubs in some countries while wine bars fill that role in Georgia. Featuring a discussion on lawsuits involving hot coffee and Italian-style espresso speed runs at gas stations, this episode brews up business insights with a global perspective.

    The Coffee Series: Ep.1 - Coffee Culture, Types and Methods

    Alejandro and Ishita kick off Espression with The Coffee Series, by exploring the world’s most beloved brewing methods, including South Indian filtered coffee and Costa Rica’s chorreador, an odd but traditional sock-ish device. They share their personal coffee journeys, espresso routines, French press favorites, and the art of pulling a perfect shot. Dive into the great bitterness debate, oat milk vs. dairy, and why a cappuccino might just be the ultimate coffee order. Plus, did you know Finland drinks nearly 5 cups per person per day? Or that the first webcam was invented just to monitor a coffee pot? Whether you’re Team Iced or Team Hot, this episode is a love letter to every cup you’ve ever had.
