Curated Cuisine: Boston\u2019s booming coffee culture

A trio of Boston’s leading coffee roasters joins WBUR’s Dianna Bell for a conversation exploring the city’s evolving specialty coffee scene.
About this Event

Curated Cuisine is a monthly series examining all things edible, from the chefs cooking the food to the writers reviewing the recipes. Meet the people shaping the food industry, both local and national and enjoy a post-show bite inspired by the conversation.

Dunkin’ may have captured the meme culture but there’s a bursting world of flavor brewing in Boston’s coffee scene. If you ask local coffee roasters they can likely tell you about farmers they’ve met in Guatemala or Ethiopia, the elevation from which their beans were grown or about the washed or natural process before drying. While Bostonians may drink iced coffee year-round, there is an evolving and evermore discerning palate in the bustling neighborhood coffee shop akin to a wine enthusiast’s interest in a grape’s terroir. Join Dianna Bell, WBUR arts and culture senior editor, in a conversation with three pioneers in the Boston coffee scene.
