Coffee Chat with Fraser from EH9 ESPRESSO
I first found Fraser, the owner of EH9 ESPRESSO, on Instagram, where he shared his experience with speciality coffee. I had no idea that a few months later he would be opening a speciality coffee shop in Dundee. I reached out and asked Fraser a few questions about what it’s like to start a speciality coffee shop from scratch. This interview is an excellent glimpse into what it’s like to start a speciality coffee shop. I hope you enjoy it!

Coffee Chat with Robert from Brew Culture Coffee and Tea
A few weeks ago I visited South Queensferry, the home of Brew Culture Coffee and Tea. I had wanted to walk over the Forth Road Bridge and also visit Brew Culture, which opened earlier this year as the only speciality coffee shop in the area. I had previously interviewed the owner, Robert, about his blog a few months prior, but I wanted to ask him a few questions about starting his coffee shop. I sent Robert some questions over email which he kindly responded to. I hope you enjoy the interview.
