Coffee and Contentment With Jack Benchakul

On this episode, Dave interviews Jack Benchakul, owner and sole barista at Endorffeine Coffee, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. The two talk about Jack's path to Endorffeine, as well as coffee culture and history. They also deep-dive into their opposing philosophies on reaching the same goal: finding contentment. For their eating pleasure, Dave prepares three versions of ham and red-eye gravy, a delicious, coffee-based sauce.
