Combining our Coffee Smarter Efforts.

We are retiring Coffee Smarter Pro

We’re retiring Coffee Smarter Pro, or rather, rolling it back into the Coffee Smarter series of podcasts and newsletters. We initially split the show in two to focus the attention on either the at-home coffee consumer or the coffee industry professional. It turns out that the overlap in curiosity between the two in our audience made that an unnecessary step.
We’re still offering industry insider information that covers all sorts of fun stuff. We’ll just be doing it in one place. Thanks for staying tuned and being coffee curious.
