Episode 01: Introducing Pure Happiness

On this, the inaugural episode of Pure Happiness Coffee, I share a little bit about how I arrived here today, including some of my core goals with pure happiness. From the beginning, Pure Happiness Coffee has been a project dedicated to exploring and creating coffee culture. Over time, it has evolved into a dedicated practice of community building with the aim of elevating producers. From dark days writing poetry in Buffalo New York's deepest pandemic winters to a recent trip to Puerto Rico to visit powerhouse coffee producers Forgotten Forest, the evolution of Pure Happiness Coffee has been just as surprising to me as anyone else! I'm thrilled to share that story with you.

Om Podcasten

Pure Happiness Coffee is a poetic exploration of the specialty coffee world. In 2023, I finished a PhD in Poetry (seriously!) and for the last two years I've been writing about my passion for coffee on instagram. This podcast is an audio version of that writing, plus long-form pieces about many aspects of the coffee world, all told in my distinctive poetic philosophical style. The goal of the podcast is to provide a unique lens on the coffee world, one that will inform you about many of the most exciting recent developments in coffee, while offering a poetic, meditative daily experience.
