The First Sip: Rituals, Comfort, and the Coffee That Grounds Us

from Reflections · host AMI

Nisreen Abdel-Majid takes a closer look at our collective obsession with coffee, touching on the memories, moments, and connections a simple cup of joe can bring us. Andrika De Lanerolle was a barista in her formeer life, she shares what she’s learned from working behind the counter, and it's not just the difference between a Latte and Cappuccino. 'Coffee lovers' is an understatement to describe friends David Dennis and Aamer Khan. They describe the journeys they've taken with coffee, including experimental brews and questionable sips. Senior Producer Matt Agnew opens up about how coffee has become an unexpected ally in managing his life, beyond the focus we tend to turn to with our daily dose of caffeine. Coffee has deep roots in human ties, let's come together to understand it's magic.
