Ristretto | Rob, Todd, and Mark Create Unreal Coffee Worlds Ep 15
Mike invited Mark, Todd, and Rob into the studio without telling them why and we played a game we call Unreal Coffee World Draft. They were asked six questions, some open ended and some closed and with each question our participants were forced to draft an answer and create an unreal coffee world. Then the Covoya team voted on which unreal coffee world they would choose if they had to live in one. Part of The Covoya Coffee Podcasting Network
