Episode # 18

Overview

For many of us coffee plays a vital role in our day. It helps us get cranked up in the morning but it’s also the social drink of choice when you need to meet someone for a quick catch-up. 

Over the last 40 years the interest in coffee has exploded, there’s coffee shops and café’s in every nook and cranny you can find, there are mobile coffee carts in popular carparks at the beach or where we walk our dogs and many of us have our own machines at home.
