The Journey Is the Destination: Curious Roo’s Epic Coffee Adventure
In this episode of the London Coffee Podcast, we catch up with Magda and Edwin, founders of Curious Roo, Artisan and the Artisan Coffee School, following their extraordinary seven-month journey from London to Australia with their three children, delivering a bag of coffee across 25 countries and setting a world record along the way.
Returning home with a fresh perspective, they share how stepping away from the business helped them make difficult decisions, including closing their Fulham Broadway café, and refocus Artisan on what matters most: exceptional specialty coffee, genuine passion and spaces they can be proud of. From their global coffee adventure to the next chapter of their businesses and charity work, Magda and Edwin share why staying true to their values matters more than ever.
