Roasting Development - How much flavor is from roasting the coffee

Over the summer Matthew De-La-Rosa went on a global travel mission for 90plus Coffee, but I called it gallivanting. Here is the exclusive scoop on the trip, with VVIP hostess and my Boss Babe friend Alisha Ochoa. She made a killer yea fancy gluten free vanilla cake. We run through Matt’s timeline of going through 2 states and 4 different countries in a week, making “the drop,” and learning how to roast this unique coffee from Magnus at Supreme Coffee Roasters in Norway. Sorry not Sorry to Magnus as we make predictions on what he looks like. Some will think this episode is a nerdy coffee episode, but is it?

Matt's Global Gallivanting

A ridiculous weekly podcast of coffee talk culture where you get to be on the inside of those hilarious coffee shop conversations while we eat (sometimes) fancy cakes. Hostess' with the mostess' Amanda (@caliandcoffee) + Sandra (@sdbeanbar). Rule #1 NO boring people. Rule #2 We don't give a $hit. So you know the guests and topics are good.
