got six o'clock in the morning morning
it's about 6:00 a.m. and I'm about to
hit a flight to Dublin and maybe try and
answer the question where's the best
coffee in Dublin
[Music]
so my host today is Colin from 3fe and
you might be much gonna bias me but
spoiler alert I'm not going to say 3fv
is the best coffee in Dublin the plan
today is to drive around to a bunch of
different coffee shops and drink some
delicious coffee and that's kind of it
before we go and do the event at your
roastery tonight which is what time is
that 6 o'clock 6 o'clock so in the
meantime we will drink some coffee
we start at proper order and then to
storyboard and then 5 points and then
more after that
[Music]
so the first time I came to Dublin was
in 2005 for coffee announced the first
time I asked the question where is the
best coffee in Dublin and it was used
for question to ask because there wasn't
a lot of choice one of the spots
actually it was inside the cafe behind
me which is view knees on Grafton Street
which is this giant behemoth of a
business that did for a little bit
interesting stuff so when I came back in
2005 I got to meet two people
Stephen Morrissey world Barista Champion
well-known coffee person and Deaton
Piggott who is now the founder of take
flight in Los Angeles I got to meet them
and they were doing interesting stuff
inside Bewley's and you know asking the
question of where's the best coffee was
a really useful question in 2005 and
again in 2007 and maybe again in 2010
when I came back but now it's kind of a
meaningless question to ask where is the
best coffee doesn't really accomplish
anything because there's so much good
coffee there is no best you can ask
someone where the best is and they can't
really give you an answer so question
where's the best coffee in Dublin where
do I go for coffee I don't know where's
the best coffee in Dublin good question
[Music]
it's become kind of a nonsense question
it's true of London it's true of New
York it's true of most major cities to
ask where is the best coffee oh it
doesn't work you can maybe ask where is
the best coffee in my neighborhood or
where is the best coffee near my hotel
or near my friend's house or near this
place I'm going but there's this
diversity now this choice asking where
the best coffee is and being unable to
answer it is kind of proof of how much
change the industry has gone through at
the point we're at now there's so much
good coffee that it's really become
about something else other than who has
the best it's really gonna be about who
has the longest lifespan
who's gonna last who's gonna succeed
those are the kind of interesting
questions now not who has the best
coffee and I'm going to touch on that a
little bit tonight at the event I'm
gonna check on what the past is meant
for the future you know where we've come
from where you know having the best
coffee was really important or being
known as the best coffee place in town
was even possible through to today and
what that means but today and also what
it means for the future
[Music]
