Customer Reviews
Great podcast for those in coffee/hospitality
Rob is a good host and does a good job of finding and selecting guests that are active in either the coffee or restaurant industry. He’s laid back which also allows for the personality and humanity to come out of guests. Sometimes does get a bit long for me but still enjoy it. Definitely recommend to those in the coffee industry
Fantastic
