Specialty Coffee Roaster in Bangkok

We visited a specialty coffee roaster in Bangkok, it was pretty cool, but on a very small scale. Specialty coffee is kind of a developing market in Thailand right now. They use mostly Thai coffee as it is very expensive to import coffee (90% duty tax). We also went back two days later to cup coffee's from around the world. It was nice to find people who are passionate about coffee in other places in the world.

This is Zan, he owns the coffee roaster.
