Similar to Season 2, only one of the girls is saying YES to each challenge and uniquely, this Season features not just one but TWO experts.
For this particular challenge, Claire had to learn as much as she could about the coffee-making process but she got a couple of surprises along the way because there’s a lot more that goes into making a single cup of coffee way before it gets to the barista’s to-do list.
The first expert that Claire got a masterclass from is Martin the Barista, aka Martin M. Makau, from Masai Coffee. Masai Coffee is a brand of Goldrock International. They are a Kenyan-based coffee company, that has also forayed into the world of tea and leather artisanal goods, but coffee is its lifeblood. Martin is both a trained barista and a barista trainer.
The second expert (in the studio and the recording) for this episode is Ritesh Doshi. Ritesh is the owner and CEO of Spring Valley Coffee, which is fast becoming a household name in Kenya for its expertly sourced, roasted, and packaged coffee beans and ground coffee, as well as for its boutique coffee shops dotted around Nairobi.
So listen in if you’re curious about how to make coffee, what makes the best coffee shops “the best”, details about coffee beans and their various types, the basics of coffee roasting and how to grind coffee beans, fair trade coffee, Kenyan arabica vs other countries’ robusta coffee, the various coffee flavours, and the rich history of Kenyan coffee.
