Marisa Zapata from Novel Coffee Roasters

Beans Without Boundaries

In this episode, Marissa shares her transition from a barista (who didn't even like coffee!) to becoming the head roaster at Novel Coffee Roasters.

Marissa also delves into the challenges and triumphs of being a woman in a male-dominated field, her push for inclusivity, and her aspirations to connect directly with coffee producers.

Plus, she shares a hot take on her love for gas station coffee and why tasting notes might be overrated.
