On this episode of the podcast, we go off our normal topics within BioTech and MedTech and discuss a topic that is near and dear to me; Coffee! I was joined by my friend Erik Barkley, Founder and Owner of Tugboat Coffee Roasters. Erik and I discuss:
How Erik and I met a few years ago
How he works with coffee farms around the globe
The life of a coffee bean: growing, processing, roasting and brewing
The roasting process
What some of the grading, certifications mean around coffee, and how to buy coffee as a consumer
Tips and Tricks for making the best drip, pour over, and espresso at home
Coffee Roasters and Coffee Books he recommends
Erik Barkley is the Founder and Owner of Tugboat Coffee, a wholesale, specialty coffee roaster dedicated to creating profitable coffee service for our customers through low overhead and focused services.
