Founded in 1997 in Galway by a very well known face and voice here in Newstalk Bobby Kerr. Insomnia coffee was the first of the new wave of American style frothy coffees in an Ireland which overwhelmingly drank only tea.  Bobby may have moved on but the Irish love affair with modern coffee continues at a pace to the point where Coffee has supplanted tea and Insomnia now has 157 outlets on both sides of the Irish Sea.

To chat about the business of coffee Joe spoke to Harry O’Kelly the Chief Executive of Insomnia Coffee.
