Video: Works in Progress - Decent Espresso



Youtube Video


A video made by Works in Progress Magazine about Decent Espresso, our mission, what we do and why, with a short digression about Buckminster Fuller.  https://worksinprogress.co/


Everything about this video is on a whole different quality level than we've produced.  Sound, editing, video quality, storytelling, and (I think) my presentation, are all the best I've seen, about Decent.

Inspired by Buckminster Fuller's philosophy, the goal is to create a movement around the machine for long-term progress, not just a product.
