This podcast interview delves deep behind Mark Barany’s success in the heart of Seattle’s coffee roasting scene.
The interview took place at Mark’s new roasting facility near Inter Bay near Queen Anne and Magnolia.
There I also spoke with Mark’s roasting partner, Peter Mark Ingalls. “Seattle is a city packed to the brim with coffee and coffee roasters. They’re aren’t as many 3rd wave coffee roasters and we’re one of the few and that’s pretty exciting,” Ingalls said.
This past fall Kuma Coffee took 2nd Place at Coffee Fest Seattle 2013, just behind Tony’s Coffee.
