Rise of Coffee Culture

Air Date: August 29, 2017
Guest: Stephan Roche

Description: How did we end up with the phrase “give yourself a coffee break?” What was coffee culture like in the early days and how did it evolve across the country? We’ll share favorite coffee stories about coffee culture in the 1970’s and 1980’s with our special guest, Stephan Roche, who was on the front lines of early coffee culture as brand assistant for Folgers at P&G. Stephan witnessed the shift to higher quality speciality coffees and the rise of Starbucks and Pete’s Coffee.
