Cafes Impacting a Community - How a small space can make a big impact

This week Chris asks Jared about a recent trip he went on to southern Californian, and what sort of coffee experiences he had while he was outside of out little coffee bubble that is Santa Cruz.

Chuck asked some practical questions about Espresso extraction and what coffees might be best as espresso. Also he asks Chris and Jared what each of their idea espresso might be like.

It’s a conversation that all swirls around what is possible when a cafe operates with intention, and how it can be an impactful place for the community it serves.
