I am a traveller, Coffee lover, Motorcyclist and a self proclaimed story teller. Coffee Protocol Podcast is from India, sharing things and stories about coffee that is related with the Indian context. I feel theres a lot of stories that continuously weave our coffee scene, I wanted to encapsulate some of them. I am a Licensed Q processor, a Coffee consultant working with Coffee farms and also Cafes. Train people in Coffee related stuff from Coffee processing , to roasting, to brewing. ( if it mattered). most of all I love stories around coffee. Coffee is fun - simple - yum.

A name you would have heard or come across if you follow Indian coffee championships and competitions. If not let me introduce you to this jack ass of an amazing person.

Jaseem Abbas, a curious mallu who resides in Bengaluru. As the stereotypes go he does work in “tech stuff”, he owns and runs a company that makes money for him, so he can spend a large portion of it on coffee machines.

Yes, he is a home brewer, who got so into coffee, that he started making machines that could be fit into his home machine. (Did I mention he is a geek), his love for coffee and brewing got him into the world of coffee competition. Started with AeroPress competition and then attempting his hand in National Barista Championship in 2021. In his first year of trial, he didn’t even qualify through his first round, because of technical reasons (he didn’t make 3 sets of drinks in 15 mins) but did an amazing job of how much ever he did.

Then he came back the next year and ended up Winning the championship. A home brewer winning a Barista Championship was unheard of, but he did it, and did it how.
