The Love of My Life: Nikol Novotná on Coffee, Determination and the Art of Roasting

Nikol Novotná, Head Roaster at WatchHouse, shares her remarkable journey from Bratislava to London, from accidentally becoming a barista to working in the roastery and becoming a Q Grader. We talk about curiosity, persistence, tasting, roasting, women in coffee, learning from mistakes (and fires!), and why great coffee needs more than science, it needs care, intuition and a human touch.
