An Exclusive Interview with Seattle’s Caffe Appassionato’s Roaster
Seattle Coffee Podcast Episode 7
In this podcast I interview Andy Clawson from Caffe Appasionato. Andy is an experienced Seattle coffee professional who has perfected the “French Roast.” While the trend of roasters today is to stay on the lighter side, Andy fills the insatiable demand for darker, full-bodied coffees that many, many coffee drinkers love.
Caffe Appassionato has been roasting coffee in Seattle for twenty years now and have weathered the ups and downs of the coffee world. So, what’s their secret? Well, in a word, it’s passion. Hence, the Italian word, Appassionato. Passion is the key to success in any job, and we can clearly see it with Caffe Appassionato. In every Americano I try there I taste the passion with which these beans were collected, roasted, and served.
Andy’s interview offers up a glimpse of what it’s like to be the co-roaster at one Seattle’s most successful and respected coffee roasters, and he also provides some insight on home brewing your coffee.
My previous Caffe Appassionato story about them is here.
