Most memorable coffee Dawn ever had? Touring the Lavazza factory in Turin, Italy. (She even got to eat in the employee cafeteria!)

Sparkplug Coffee Lover

Hari Balaraman is one of Sparkplug Coffee's first customers and he lives close to Sparkplug coffee HQ in Toronto so his coffee is delivered on foot instead of via Canada Post. He invited me to stop in to sample a cup of kopi luwak (aka civet coffee or cat poop coffee) that he'd purchased in his travels. I took the opportunity to quiz him about his coffee habits and other passions.

The Top 100 Project podcast for film lovers

We would love the Top 100 Project even if film buffs Ryan and Bev didn't develop awesome ads for Sparkplug Coffee to start every episode. Each one tailored to the film being reviewed. Too cool.
