Philip Meech and Caffè Lusso take people on a coffee journey around the world. A coffee roaster and entrepreneur for over 25 years, he wants coffee drinkers to slow down, taste the roasted beans and enjoy the rich variety.
In this episode, Philip talks with Washington State Magazine editor Larry Clark about enjoying coffee, his lifelong love of coffee, the art and science of coffee roasting, and his journey from Washington State University to running a successful micro-roastery.
Meech, a 2000 WSU business alum, also gives some tips on brewing and tasting coffee.
Read about Meech in “Coffee, community, calm” (Fall 2025 issue of Washington State Magazine).
