Making Coffee with Lucia Solis

This is a surreal place to be, creating the About section of a Patreon page, I never thought my winemaking career would bring me to this point. And yet here we are and thank you for taking the time to read this. I work as a processing consultant to coffee producers and I can’t fly and work with everyone I would like. I started this podcast as a way to share ideas and scientific information with people who may never be my clients. I want to keep the podcast free from sponsors or advertising because it's important for me to keep the information free from distractions. This Patreon is for people who want to help sustain my ability to share the coffee knowledge—liberated from commercial interests—by supporting me to allow me to keep making new episodes. The podcast is something that I do during my spare time and because it’s a free podcast, I can’t dedicate as much time as I would like to it (yet!). That’s why I need your help. Your support helps me cover the hosting fees, upgrade my equipment for improved sound quality, and liberate me from extensive editing time for more topic research, and interviews. If I can get support for this podcast, I can make episodes more regularly and interview more guests with experiences different from mine. I want to provide insights and demystify fermentation even for people who can never hire me for a consultation. But it still costs me time (which is money) to provide this free information. The world of coffee is a small community, and in my experience, one that supports others. And I hope you will consider supporting this podcast because you want everyone else to be able to enjoy top quality and free information. Pitch in what you can, and I pledge to keep my information as free as possible, so that even the people who cannot afford to be part of this Patreon, can still enjoy episodes. For the cost of one (specialty) cup of coffee a month you can help me keep this information flowing. Love, Lucia p.s.
