It’s Just Coffee! is a podcast for all those coffee lovers out there and we're endeavouring on a journey to find the perfect cup. Not only will we be talking to the world’s best coffee makers and roasters, we’re going to be talking to athletes, comedians, celebrities and anyone that just loves a great cup of coffee. The coffee community around the world is engaged and passionate (sometimes to a fault), and we want to explore some of the biggest debates that happen across the Internet, and in the local cafe around the corner from you. Questions like: • Which country has the best coffee in the world? • Should it be illegal to mix milk in black coffee? • Is Starbucks actually coffee? We’ll dive into some of the best coffee conversations on the internet, but we will always remind ourselves at the end of the day, that It’s Just Coffee!","last_synced_at":"2026-06-12T20:20:30.762336+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/it-s-just-coffee-6912872"},"episode":{"title":"The Cafe with Intentionally Slow Service | w Gibrán Huerta of LONG PLAY!","slug":"the-cafe-with-intentionally-slow-service-w-gibr-n-huerta-of-long-play","published_at":"2026-04-27T19:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/it-s-just-coffee-6912872/the-cafe-with-intentionally-slow-service-w-gibr-n-huerta-of-long-play","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/it-s-just-coffee-6912872","url":"https://pdst.fm/e/traffic.megaphone.fm/SSCPTYLTD4840672095.mp3","audio_url":"https://pdst.fm/e/traffic.megaphone.fm/SSCPTYLTD4840672095.mp3","summary":"Gibrán Huerta, otherwise known as ‘G’, is the owner of Long Play, a cafe and record bar located in San Diego. We spoke with him about his unique approach to hospitality: He doesn’t serve espresso and there’s no wifi. Just vibes, music, and slow-paced service. G is a pioneer of this new style, encouraging customers to disconnect from the outside world and be present in their cafe experience.
