This is the first episode of a 5-part series with coffee meme king, coffee roaster at Jokes Aside Coffee, barista, and cafe co-owner (Stav SE Espresso Bar), Alan Jarrar. Alan's Instagram account @50percentarabica plays the role of keeping the coffee industry entertained comedically while also offering up the opportunity for accountability within the industry. After a recent incident involving Squeaky Coffee and Nucleus Tools that created a meme storm on social media, Alan was invited onto the podcast to discuss the incident and more specifically, "Coffee Cults Within The Coffee Industry"

In this first episode of the series on The Daily Coffee Pro by Map It Forward Podcast, we ask Alan why his account @50percentarabica came about and why he feels it's so popular and impactful within the coffee industry worldwide.
