We talk about the state of the specialty coffee industry with Ben Kaminsky, coffee taster (the 2009 United States Cup Tasting Champion) and consultant, a founder of Barismo in Boston, and now working at Ritual Roasters, based right here in the Mission District.
We had so much to talk about that there will be a round two of this discussion, likely with some special guests from the Bay Area coffee scene.
I have a question: Why is Ben Kaminsky considered controversial in the coffee scene?
Listen to the interview and you’ll start to understand.
Great interview. Can’t wait for the next.
I have a question: Since when is Ben Kaminsky the founder of Barismo? Where is the fact checking here?
Thanks for getting in touch Chris; glad you found the interview. This is the description on the homepage: “Champion coffee taster Ben Kaminsky talks about the roastery he helped found in Boston and the state of specialty coffee today.” I will change add the article “a” to the item page to better reflect this. If this is not accurate let me know here or at info@soundbitesmedia.com
