In this first episode of our brand-new series we are calling "Inside the Coffee Shop," we’re stepping out from behind the brew bar and into the heartbeat of the coffee shop. If you’ve ever wondered what really happens behind the counter—from the early morning espresso dial-in to the fast-paced dance of drink-making during a morning rush—this episode is your all-access pass.

I will be sharing the vision behind this new chapter of The Weekly Drip, diving into the rhythms, pressures, and sacred moments that unfold in every specialty coffee shop. You'll learn why coffee shops can feel intimidating, what baristas are really doing during those busy shifts, and how to walk into any coffee shop with more confidence and curiosity.

This series is about more than drinks—it’s about community, culture, and connection. Whether you're a regular coffee shop goer, an aspiring barista, or simply coffee-curious, this is your invitation to step behind the bar and experience the soul of the coffee shop.

☕ Tune in, sip something good, and join us as we begin this journey "Inside the Coffee Shop."
