John Rippo, who is the publisher and editor of ESPRESSO San Diego’s Coffeehouse Newspaper was the guest. This publication has given local cafe society news, views, commentary, art, food, and culture news for nearly thirty years, along with the occasional story about coffee. Started by Mr. Rippo after having an dynamic conversation with friends over a cup of Joe about the media’s biased reporting about the events of the Gulf War in the early 1990s, ESPRESSO continues to pride itself on being a forerunner of breaking news stories.

While maintaining political, along with other biases to a minimum, the news found in the publication’s pages are have often been overlooked by the mainstream media. ESPRESSO is a smart read for a smart crowd and is found monthly in over 420 local coffeehouses throughout the county. Support your local independent coffeehouse, and read ESPRESSO whenever you drink it.
