The Parallel World of Speciality Coffee

Over the coming weeks I hope to serialise a talk I recently gave at BarCamp Belfast. In this way and without the time constraint I hope to develop each point fully.


The terms startup, venture capital, blog and podcast are familiar to all that are involved in the IT world and the online community that they have created. However to say that these things only apply to IT companies is akin to looking through a telescope. In a world not too far removed from that of IT, young men and women who dare to be different are bringing innovation, energy and ethics to a centuries old industry, the Speciality Coffee Industry.

Over the next few weeks, I'll be lifting the lid on the speciality coffee industry, showing you that its not just caffeine that drives us and how the IT and coffee worlds overlapping has brought innovation.
