This episode we arrive in Berlin and drop into conversation with one of the pioneers of the Third Wave coffee movement, CEO and founder of the The Barn Coffee Roasters Ralf Rüller. If you are interested in the speciality coffee world or want to learn more then this episode is for you.

Ralf has grown The Barn into one of the most recognised brands in the speciality coffee world. His simplistic approach to quality and the product is what has made this so successful and we find out where the idea and his love for coffee (and bread) originated from.

We discuss the ongoing discussion around packaging and sustainability and the need for clarity in the conversation. Most importantly we discuss the process and the huge importance of the farmer.

Extensively travelling all over the world sourcing coffee we also learn about Ralf's favourite places outside Berlin and learn his ITW moment in hospitality.
