Hello there fellow travelers! We’re back with another deep dive from World of Coffee Dubai, and today, we’re welcoming back one of our favorite guests—Simon Gautherin from APAX Lab! Simon and Kirk explore Dubai’s late-night coffee culture and how it compares to Australia, then get into the real secret behind great coffee—water quality. Simon breaks down the science behind minerals in water, why bad water = bad coffee, and how APAX Lab is changing the game with mineral-enhanced solutions. It’s always a pleasure having Simon on the show—his insights into coffee and water science never fail to blow our minds.
