Running a coffee business has never been easy, but it's certainly more manageable if you have the right business partner. The question is – who should you choose and how should you work together? In this episode, we are exploring three successful coffee business partnerships that have stood the test of time to glean some of the secrets of their success.

Amber Jacobsen, Co-founder of Partners Coffee Roasters, discusses her business partnership with co-founder Adam Boyd, and shares how their different synergistic skillsets have helped them to navigate a successful decade together including tackling Covid.

We’ll hear from Steven Macatonia and Jeremy Torz, Co-founders of Union Hand-Roasted Coffee, and get an insight into how they manage the day-to-day pressures of being both business and life partners.

We also speak with Keith Chua and Seo Young Youn of Bean Brothers, a Korean/Malaysian artisan coffee chain, to understand how Keith entered into an existing partnership and expanded the brand into a completely new market.
