Mission Coffee Company's Christian Ott

Staying Conscious with Meg & Aly

Curious about coffee? We are too and that’s why this week on the podcast we interviewed Christian Ott, the Director of Roasting Operations at Mission Coffee Company here in Columbus, Ohio. The coffee scene in Columbus has grown a lot over the last five years and over that time we have grown to really be curious about the coffee we are drinking. Where it comes from, what flavor notes you can taste in different roasts, how it’s roasted, how different brewing methods make the same coffee beans taste slightly or even vastly different, the questions are endless for us. That’s why we were so excited to chat with Christian to get some of our questions finally answered! We geeked out so much during this episode as Christian answers all our questions from not putting your coffee beans/grounds in the fridge to the science behind milk alternatives in your lattes. Christian really inspires us with his story about why he moved here from Wisconsin specifically to work for Mission Coffee Company. We discuss the values and vision for Mission from sourcing to education. You are not going to want to miss this episode!
