565 Ted Fischer - The Golden Espresso Machine Controversy - The Daily Coffee Pro Podcast by Map It Forward

This is the 4th episode of a five-part series on The Daily Coffee Pro by Map It Forward Podcast, hosted by Map It Forward founder, Lee Safar.

Our guest for this series is Ted Fisher, a cultural anthropologist from Vanderbilt University and Author of the book "Making Coffee Better".

In this episode of the podcast series, Lee and Ted explore the implications of luxury items like golden espresso machines within the context of the specialty coffee industry.

They discuss the seeming disparity between such opulence and the poverty experienced by producers and baristas.

The conversation also delves into broader topics such as economic pressures, the importance of genuine relationships in cafes, and the evolving concept of community.
