  • Summary

  • Whether you’re a world barista champion brewing a $150 rare coffee from the hills of Panama, or you’re stirring a spoon of instant coffee in boiling water, at the end of the day, It’s Just Coffee! It’s Just Coffee! is a podcast for all those coffee lovers out there and we're endeavouring on a journey to find the perfect cup. Not only will we be talking to the world’s best coffee makers and roasters, we’re going to be talking to athletes, comedians, celebrities and anyone that just loves a great cup of coffee. The coffee community around the world is engaged and passionate (sometimes to a fault), and we want to explore some of the biggest debates that happen across the Internet, and in the local cafe around the corner from you. Questions like: • Which country has the best coffee in the world? • Should it be illegal to mix milk in black coffee? • Is Starbucks actually coffee? We’ll dive into some of the best coffee conversations on the internet, but we will always remind ourselves at the end of the day, that It’s Just Coffee!

  • DAN DICK! - before you open a cafe LISTEN TO THIS!
    Jun 12 2024
    Hi coffee people! Joining us on the show this morning - the wonderful Dan Dick. Dan has an illustrious career in the industry, with five cafes across Melbourne and a budding roastery by the name of 'Born and Raised'. He is also a dedicated father, husband and all round coffee lover. Dan describes coffee as his ‘love language’, and gained publicity during the pandemic by providing free coffee to those in need. Rohan and Dan reminisce on their time working together in Melbourne cafes (does anyone remember the clover machine?), swapping stories of hungover shifts and ridiculous rushes. Plus, Dan shares all the things he wishes he knew before starting a business. In coffee news, coffee grounds have been shown to protect water sources from pollution, and new findings from the ABC claim we need to stop complaining about the price of coffee in Australia. Also, get ready for some extra hot takes this episode as Dan comes for the sandwich shops. If you're new here (happy to have you!), 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! Big thankyou to Dan for joining the show. Check out Dan on Instagram @danielpeterdick and follow us @itsjustcoffee so you never miss a drop. Biggest thanks to our listeners. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did!

  • GEN FRICKER! - Comedy Tales to Coffee Fails
    Jun 10 2024
    What’s up! We have a very special guest on the pod today; the wildly hilarious comedian and writer, Gen Fricker. We were lucky enough to steal Gen for a chat while she was in town for the Melbourne Comedy Festival. In this episode, Gen, Kirk and Rohan discuss getting (and giving) bad reviews, Gen shares tales from the comedy scene, as well as hospo horror stories, and introduces the boys to the fat white - yum. In coffee news, Elaine from Seinfeld is making moves in the instant coffee world, the flat white debate is further complicated by an Italian man from Far North Queensland, and Kirk’s cafe ‘Project Zero’ takes its first online hit. If you're new here (thanks for joining!), 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, that It's Just Coffee! It was fantastic to have Gen on the show. She provoked interesting and insightful commentary on the coffee scene in Australia, bringing light, laughter and great conversation to the pod. If you love Gen as much as we do, check out her instagram @genfricker, and follow us @itsjustcoffee so you never miss an episode. We appreciate our listeners! Thankyou for tuning in to episode 7, we hope you are having a great day!

  • DANIEL SEYOUM! - The Untold Story of Ethiopian Coffee
    Jun 5 2024
    Hello lovely people. Today we are joined by the coffee powerhouse, Daniel Seyoum. Daniel’s family have been growing coffee in Ethiopia for over 45 years, with Daniel himself running farms using traditional agricultural practices. He now heads two successful cafes in Melbourne. Both Ageyo and Little Ezida have grown wildly successful, with a focus on ethical and direct trade. In this conversation, Daniel provides a unique and valued perspective on coffee farming and its history; on everything from goats discovering caffeine to the health risks associated with farming malpractice. We are so grateful to Daniel for sharing his story regarding the internal conflict in Ethiopia and its impact on not only the coffee industry but his family and the wider community. Plus, Kirk and Rohan are back with some coffee news (good news for coffee addicts), and Rohan has a bone to pick about the ever growing variations of milk. If you're new here (what’s up!), 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, that It's Just Coffee! We were so lucky to have Daniel on the show this week. If you love this chat, make sure to follow us @itsjustcoffee, and check out Daniel at @ageyocoffee and @little_ezida. Thank-you for joining us for ep 6! Hope you have a delicious week of coffee!
