Joe Caiati is an audio and video technician in Queens. As a long-time
coffee drinker that’s late to the coffee enthusiast game, he relishes craft
roast experiences from his local roasters. But he’s coffee curious —
looking for new ways to doctor the flavors and caffeine jolts.

Joe Caiati is an audio and video technician in Queens. As a long-time
coffee drinker that’s late to the coffee enthusiast game, he relishes craft
roast experiences from his local roasters. But he’s coffee curious —
looking for new ways to doctor the flavors and caffeine jolts.


In this interview of the Top Brew podcast, Joe Caiati and Joe Darnell discuss what makes coffee so special, versus some other beverage. What are the habits we form with our brew, and why? Also, we hear what it’s like for Mr. Caiati in Queens, NY, to dabble with his fussy coffee options: where he gets his beans from local coffeehouses, and brews them in his 32 oz. French press at home.
