EPISODE 9

In this episode of the Let It Brew podcast, host Alex Dantes-Smith sits down with Ollie Simon, GM of Brand and Marketing at Allpress Espresso UK, and Bugra Marasali, Founder of Lodestar Coffee to explore their ultimate dream coffee shop concepts.
From flat whites to macchiatos, Ollie shares his espresso journey, while Bugra keeps it unapologetically pure: "You don’t go to a kebab shop and order a pizza"—so why serve anything but great coffee?
Expect plenty of caffeine-fuelled conversation. Episode 9 is out now!
