Episode 45 - Can We Fix The World Barista Championship?

This was a really fun one.

In this latest episode, we dive into three crucial coffee questions:

1. Is the specialty coffee shop in trouble? Can they survive today just making good coffee, or are they doomed to shut their doors without moving into roasting or food service?
2. How can we fix the World Barista Championship so that it's more financially inclusive for all competitors; and
3. What does your coffee date's order tell you about them?
