    Today we welcome Scott Rao to the podcast!! Lees meer

    Scott is one of the world's most recognised and influential coffee roasters and consultants. He’s had a wild journey: Growing up disliking coffee, opening his first cafe in Massachusetts in 1999 (a story filled with challenges and controversy), and pioneering the cafe scene in NZ and Canada. Now Scott is focused on pushing the coffee industry forward through his writing, consulting work, and development of new roasting technologies.

    In Today’s Show: We discuss the challenges of roasting in small towns, the benefits of decaf, and the emergence of air roasters. We also dive into the nuances of coffee fermentation, and Scott shares his complicated history with barrel fermenting.

    In Coffee News: A recent study in the US has shown that drinking coffee in the morning can lower the chance of heart disease. Specifically, the study found that people who drink coffee are 31% less likely to develop heart disease compared to those who don't.

    Plus!! Our hot takes ignite thought-provoking discussions. We explore the art of roasting, the role of the barista, and the unspoken hierarchy of drink orders.

    If you're new here (welcome), our show dives into some of the best coffee conversations on the internet, but we will always remind ourselves at the end of the day; It's Just Coffee!

    Greetings earthlings. Lees meer

    Today we are joined by Matt Perger, a two time world champion barista, award-winning writer, Founder of Barista Hustle and coffee roaster from Melbourne!

    We’re asking Matt - Is AI friend or foe?! Join us as we deep dive into AI in the coffee industry - from the AI you didn't even know you were using, to its role in optimising logistics, automating coffee shops, and tracking consumer behaviour.

    Matt has always been pushing the boundaries of coffee science. He’s the Barista who popularised using the EK43 grinder for espresso, sieved coffee grinds for uniform particle size in the WBrC and designed his own tamper (amongst other things). It was epic to hear his take on the future of the industry - he’s a self proclaimed technooptimist!

    In Coffee (fake) News: Articles circulate claiming a cup of coffee will now cost $12 in Australia, but where are we pulling this number from?

    Plus!! The hot takes are just getting hotter, with a new city potentially overtaking Melbourne as the coffee capital..? We also deep dive into our dream coffee setup if money were no object!

    If you're new here (welcome), our show dives into some of the best coffee conversations on the internet, but we will always remind ourselves at the end of the day; It's Just Coffee!

    It was such a fantastic and informative episode. Massive thanks to Matt for joining the show and sharing his wealth of knowledge.
