Ever wonder what it's like to start a coffee business? Why your beans are so greasy? Is coffee good for your health? What does qualify beans as "dark" roast, anyway? Join us as coffee expert, Simon Springer (formerly of The Roaster's Collective) talks about his experiences in the coffee industry, myths, and rabbit holes.
