In this episode, Ingrid (@ingastura) and Rob (@rob.nester) sit down to talk about the history of espresso and how it grew to be an international phenomena that occupies not only our coffee cups, but our cocktail glasses as well! Patrick Dunmire, bartender at Raleigh, North Carolina's own Foundation stops by to tell us how a background as a barista informed his palate, led him to consume ungodly amounts of caffeine, and gave him no fear for those eight top orders of espresso martinis!
