Episode Spotlights: Conversations with Coffee's Best
The Coffee Roasting Legends Podcast kicks off with conversations that highlight the heart and soul of specialty coffee, featuring some of the most passionate roasters in the business.
Roasting Headquarters: Building a Coffee Community in Dallas
In one of the first episodes, Jodi and Abby, the founders of Roasting Headquarters (RHQ), share their vision for creating a space that blends education, innovation, and community in the North Dallas coffee scene. More than just a roastery, RHQ is a hub for knowledge-sharing, supporting both aspiring and experienced roasters in refining their craft.
Hi-Fi Espresso: From Coffee Lovers to Coffee Makers
Kennedy also sits down with Jeff, Karen, and B from Hi-Fi Espresso, whose journey from coffee enthusiasts to roastery owners is filled with passion and perseverance. The couple reflects on their early inspirations-New York's Ninth Street Espresso, LA's La Mill and Intelligentsia-and how those experiences shaped their vision for Hi-Fi Espresso. Their conversation with Kennedy captures the essence of what it means to turn a love for coffee into a thriving business.
Bald Guy Brew: Don Cox's Bold Journey into Roasting
Few stories embody resilience like that of Don Cox, the founder of Bald Guy Brew. From roasting coffee on his porch during a hurricane to mentoring over a hundred aspiring roasters, Don's journey is one of innovation and determination. After a traumatic brain injury, he turned financial support from three benefactors into an opportunity-purchasing his first San Franciscan Roaster and dedicating himself to mastering the craft. His story is a testament to the grit and creativity that define the industry.
A Podcast by Roasters, for Roasters
"The coffee roasting community is filled with extraordinary people, each with a unique story to tell," said Bill Kennedy, host of Coffee Roasting Legends and President of San Franciscan Roaster Co. "This podcast is about honoring the roasters who elevate the craft, push boundaries, and inspire others. I've had the privilege of knowing these legends for years, and now, I get to share their journeys with the world."
More than just interviews, Coffee Roasting Legends captures the passion, struggles, and triumphs behind the best coffee in the world. Listeners will hear first-hand accounts of what it takes to build a roastery, source the best beans, and master the fine balance of art and science in roasting.
