On today’s episode I am chatting with David Kovaleski, the founder of Waka Coffee, a company that’s changing the way we see instant coffee in America.

David, came up with the idea for Waka Coffee while living in New York City, juggling a hectic schedule as a full-time college student with a full-time job. He relied on coffee to fuel his daily routine. But, he quickly discovered that frequenting coffee shops and making coffee in a cramped NYC kitchen was complicated, time-consuming, and expensive.

David honed in on a solution that wouldn’t require additional equipment and is fast to make: instant coffee. The only problem? Easy to drink isn't easy to create.

• How instant coffee is made and why all instant coffee is not created equal
• Where some of the best coffee beans come from
• The second most important factor in making great coffee (aside from the beans)
