Episode 127 -

This mighty good guest is a coffee aficionado if there ever was one!  Jeff Hazel is the owner of Hazelnut Coffee Company, a very popular coffee shop in Celina, Ohio.  He also roasts beans under his own label, Old Hatch Coffee Roastery, supplying beans for other coffee shops.  Jeff joins the podcast to discuss, debate, and otherwise educate listeners on what's arguably one of man's favorite drinks!

Chad, the smooth-finishing Frenchman by heritage, is the frontline interviewer on this episode; Ben Neff helps navigate as the small-to-medium-bodied, (possibly) decaffeinated cohost.  The two steep in the many fun facts their guest shares about coffee, while wishing they could be sipping on their subject matter (were it not for the late hour).  What are the many ways one might make coffee, and what are the how's and why's behind each?  What are some of Jeff's secret tips and tricks for maximizing the goodness of a cup of coffee (what to drink out of, what kind of water to use, what kind of milk to use, etc)?  How, from Jeff's point of view as a coffee shop owner, can coffee bring people together as a community in a unique way?
