IT’S JUST COFFEE!

Whether you’re a world barista champion brewing a $150 rare

coffee from the hills of Panama, or you’re stirring a spoon of

instant coffee in boiling water, at the end of the day, It’s Just

Coffee!


It’s Just Coffee! is a podcast for all those coffee lovers out there

and we're endeavouring on a journey to find the perfect cup.


Not only will we be talking to the world’s best coffee makers

and roasters, we’re going to be talking to athletes, comedians,

celebrities and anyone that just loves a great cup of coffee.


The coffee community around the world is engaged and

passionate (sometimes to a fault), and we want to explore

some of the biggest debates that happen across the Internet,

and in the local cafe around the corner from you.


Questions like:


• Which country has the best coffee in the world?

• Should it be illegal to mix milk in black coffee?

• Is Starbucks actually coffee?


We’ll dive into some of the best coffee conversations on the

internet, but we will always remind ourselves at the end of the

day, that It’s Just Coffee!
