Why Is David Abrahamovitch More Successful Than Richard? On this week's episode, the founder of the hugely popular, fast-growing coffee brand Grind talks to Richard about how a mobile phone shop on a roundabout became London’s hottest coffee joint, the world of coffee sommeliers, how decaf drinkers might be the true connoisseurs, coffee prices doubling in the last year, and why you don’t break out the champagne when big moments finally land. Plus, Richard unfairly forces David into rating other coffee shops, which doesn’t work out well for Costa. Or Café Nero. Or Greggs.
