My name is Miles, I’m a Business Development Manager at IKAWA, a former AST and roasting educator, and a black coffee professional.

Register now for the fourth session in our We Are #StillRoasting series focused on the current experiences of coffee professionals around the world. This session is co-hosted with the SCA USA Chapter.
