  • Great show

    My favorite podcast of the week. Congratulations on your great work.

    Just on this weeks episode of coffe, I found it interesting that the world’s largest producer was not mentioned even once. Does it not sound like something is missing in this conversation?

    I would be curious to understand Brazil’s role in the market. Thanks
