If you think you don't like coffee, try specialty coffee | Live at World of Coffee Dubai - BEN PUT!

Ben is a renowned Canadian barista, with Six Canadian Barista Championship titles and multiple World Barista Championship finals under his belt. We caught up with Ben at World of Coffee Dubai to discuss his approach to competition - Why is it crucial to have a deep understanding of coffee production? Ben also opens up about the sacrifices required for a career in coffee and the ongoing challenge of a work-life balance. As a family man, origin trips are few and far between - so you’ve gotta make the most of your travels! We’ll also chat about the specialty coffee scene in Calgary, the challenges facing Bolivian coffee production, and of course, we couldn’t leave out a discussion about the Canadian cultural icon—Tim Hortons. If you're new here (welcome), our show dives into some of the best coffee conversations on the internet, but we will always remind ourselves at the end of the day - It's Just Coffee!
