With over 15 years of working within the coffee industry, enjoy Brian's immense knowledge of the coffee industry from coffee tastings to brewing methods, and much more.
We had a ball picking Brian's brain and learning as much about the coffee industry, from brewing techniques, to learning about the best grinders, to learning about the Specialty Coffee Association. Our conversation went from A-Z in 30minutes.
It was such a fascinating conversation. It was laid back and like you were talking to your neighborhood cafe owner. You know the one that's always around and loves to talk coffee and cares about their customers? That's Brian Webb.
Enjoy.

Escape to France and Italy with Malaika Paul​ as she talks about how she likes to relax, refresh, and rejuvenate in the beautiful places, not as a tourist, but as a local.
Her nuggets of information are invaluable, speaking on topics ranging from how to find a good bistro with coffee or a great view within the best and most popular neighborhoods, or how to order a cup of coffee if you're a first time visitor, and much more!
If you want to explore more of Malaika's travels from our conversation, there are images and links within our virtual cafe, Better with a Cup of Coffee.

I love great stories, and Kalen Bingham gives us one.
Listen to Kalen's story of how she went from being a fourth grade teacher to becoming the budding owner of Thrive Coffee Company in Greensboro, NC.
Her passion for giving the community of Greensboro, her hometown, not only a great cup of coffee, but a warm and heartfelt experience each and every time you visit her mobile coffee cart.
I hope that you will enjoy her amazing journey.
