Episode Synopsis

In this caffeinated episode of Tell Me What You Know, hosts Michael and Michael dive deep into the world's most beloved stimulant - coffee. From discussing their personal brewing methods (including Michael's moka pot technique and his honest admission about using a Keurig) to exploring the fascinating history of how coffee may have fueled the Enlightenment and Industrial Revolution, this episode covers everything from bean to cup. The hosts break down the science behind light, medium, and dark roasts, explain the differences between espresso drinks like cappuccinos and flat whites, and even venture into some of the world's most expensive coffees - including the infamous civet cat poop coffee that can cost up to $600 per pound.

Plus, you'll get Michael's take on why hipsters love coffee shops so much and a frank discussion about coffee's, shall we say, digestive effects.Further Reading ResourcesCoffee Roasting & ProcessingCoffee Roast Guide: Light vs. Medium vs. Dark Roast - Real SimpleThe Difference Between Light, Medium, And Dark Roast Coffee - JavaPresseCoffee History & Cultural ImpactHow Coffee Fueled Revolutions—and Revolutionary Ideas - HISTORYHow Coffee Influenced The Course Of History - NPRMoka Pot Brewing GuideHow to Brew Coffee with a Moka Pot - StarbucksHow to Use the Moka Pot - Blue Bottle CoffeeEspresso Drinks ExplainedHere's the Difference Between a Flat White, Cappuccino, and 8 Other Popular Coffee Drinks - Food & WineEspresso Drinks Explained: A Guide to Every Coffee on the Menu - European Coffee TripFlat White vs Cappuccino vs Latte vs Americano vs Macchiato - Balance Coffee
