In this episode of The Utah Foodie Podcast, we talk with Patrick Andrews, the man behind Blue Copper Roasters, a coffee roasting company that supplies the coffee and espresso beans to many high-end “third wave” coffee houses in Utah. In 2014, Blue Copper merged with No Brow Coffee and launched their new and improved Coffee Room on 179 West 900 South that offers tasting classes and a full offering of espresso and coffee drinks and baked goods.  

Patrick shares how Blue Copper went from a side hobby to a full-time job, where he was roasting five days a week for several hours on end and serving as a large coffee retailer, roaster, and wholesaler. He also talks about the importance of country of origin in coffee beans, how he feels about Starbucks, and what goes into roasting and brewing a great cup of joe.
