What is The Weekly Drip?

A podcast about coffee… but not just any coffee. We’re talking about the good stuff—small-batch roasts, pour-over experiments, roaster mishaps (yep, we’ve had ‘em), and everything in between. Hosted by Micah from Origin Essence Roasting Co. The Weekly Drip is your cozy corner to nerd out on brews, laugh a little, and maybe even learn why your Chemex keeps tasting like sadness. Each week, we explore slow brewing, meaningful conversations, and stories that point us back to purpose, peace, and presence with God. Whether you're a coffee nerd or just need a reminder to slow down, this weekly drip is for you.
