Ep. 147 - Douglas Weber (Weber Workshops)

Not long ago, Ted Gushue posted a coffee maker on his instagram stories noting it was incredibly over engineered. He had me at coffee, but his description is what kept me hooked on the video. Perhaps a foregone conclusion, but as a man obsessed with details, I bought it. Weber Workshops' BIRD now serves as my go-to coffee maker every morning, and I thoroughly enjoyed learning more about and its founder, today’s guest, Douglas Weber. This conversation, like many, stemmed from a cold-call email I sent after receiving my BIRD, and not only was I delighted to know Douglas would be down to record, I was surprised at how much more we have in common. We’re effectively the same age, he’s an IWC guy and drives an older Porsche - none of this I knew prior to recording. If you’re like me and really enjoy getting to know the people behind the products you buy, well, buy something from Weber Workshop and then listen to this episode. You won’t be sorry.
