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":"Why Young People Aren’t Drinking Specialty Coffee (Next-Gen) | HANY EZZAT!","slug":"why-young-people-aren-t-drinking-specialty-coffee-next-gen-hany-ezzat","published_at":"2026-04-08T19:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/it-s-just-coffee-6912872/why-young-people-aren-t-drinking-specialty-coffee-next-gen-hany-ezzat","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/it-s-just-coffee-6912872","url":"https://pdst.fm/e/traffic.megaphone.fm/SSCPTYLTD3435805821.mp3","audio_url":"https://pdst.fm/e/traffic.megaphone.fm/SSCPTYLTD3435805821.mp3","summary":"Hany Ezzat is the Founder of Ni Wares–creating science backed cups for coffee competitions and elevated everyday use.
