  • Good content—worth listening

    I’ve been enjoying listening to this podcast for a while now. I love how transparent these guys are. The coffee roasting industry tends to be so mystical and secretive about roasting techniques, and there’s a lot of BS out there, but this podcast helps cut through the crap and tells things as they are. No BS. No overstating reality. Just good discussion on a great topic: everything coffee.

The community of transparency and education Valerian has created is amazing and I will do my best to contribute myself. If you listen, you'll know Valerian likes iTunes reviews, ;) but I'm serious about supporting this podcast and have already recommended it to my cl... more
