  • City vs. Rural Coffee | ARTISTI COFFEE ROASTERS!

    City vs. Rural Coffee | ARTISTI COFFEE ROASTERS!
    Oct 7 2024
    The Roast Masters of Coffs Harbour: Sticky Date Pudding, Mice, and 15 Years of Artisti Coffee. Hello! Today we’re sitting down with the absolute *icons* behind Artisti Coffee Roasters—Luke Floyd and Jimmy Evans. So what’s it like running a regional coffee roastery? Us city slickers wouldn’t understand! —Think 15 years of building a coffee empire, travelling Aus while running a business, and navigating the balance between regional community vibes and the online hustle (side note: how did Artisti’s YouTube videos end up in a cafe in Mexico?). We also get into the important stuff, like Kirk’s sticky date pudding obsession (best dessert ever, don’t @ us) and why Anthony Koudafides is making waves running for Lord Mayor (Kouda for Mayor, let’s gooo!). Oh, and you don’t miss our coffee culture debates: long black takes, mineralizing water, and why moka pots are a thing of the past. It’s a spicy one, —grab your coffee and tune in for the laughs, the lessons, and the *real* stories behind Artisti Coffee. 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! Huge thankyou to Luke and Jimmy for sharing your valuable insight.

  • Trusting "Eco-Friendly" Brands Isn’t Easy | COFFEE BREAK!

    Trusting "Eco-Friendly" Brands Isn’t Easy | COFFEE BREAK!
    Oct 2 2024
    In this Coffee Break, Rohan and Kirk dive into their latest conversation with Abigail Forsyth, the Founder of KeepCup, to unpack some of the episode’s best moments. The boys chat about everything from Abigail’s eco-conscious approach to running a business, to the Star Wars, Metallica, and Lord of the Rings connections she and Kirk bonded over. The convo takes a turn as the boys unpack the struggle of trusting big corporations that claim to be eco-friendly—especially with scandals like Redcycle proving otherwise. Abigail’s candidness about the challenges of running a truly sustainable company gives the team plenty to chat about. In a perfect world, KeepCup wouldn’t even be needed—we’d just have coffee in the café—but as Abi says, we’re solving half the issue. It’s a thought-provoking and humorous reflection on how much still needs to change in the sustainability space. Also on this ep, the boys throw in a live gift unwrapping to celebrate Kirk’s 30th birthday, followed by Kirk in the hot seat for our second-most famous segment in podcast history: Rapid Fire Questions—where Rohan brings the heat.

  • How KeepCup is fighting waste with founder | ABIGAIL FORSYTH!

    How KeepCup is fighting waste with founder | ABIGAIL FORSYTH!
    Sep 30 2024
    Ever wondered who started the reusable coffee cup revolution? We’re chatting with none other than Abigail Forsyth, the Co-Founder and Managing Director of KeepCup. In 2007, after introducing reusable soup mugs at her café, Abi and her brother decided to create their own reusable coffee cup. The now-iconic KeepCup is found in over 75 countries, diverting millions of disposable cups from landfill every day. In today’s episode, Abi schools Rohan and Kirk on the environmental impact of single-use cups. But here’s the big question: How do you run an eco-friendly business while still selling products? Wouldn’t the most sustainable option be no takeaways at all? We dive into the unfair blame placed on consumers when it comes to waste, and shift the focus toward the larger players (I’m looking at you Amazon). Plus, we explore adding surcharges to single-use cups, the impact of COVID on coffee culture, and the deflating social mood towards eco-friendly products (just let us die). Oh, and Abigail’s latest venture? Well, we may have to bleep that out! We also touch on the boys’ personal gripes—like Myki inspectors and people who order coffee while wearing headphones. Oh, and we always make time for a bit of Seinfeld talk, along with the mysterious disappearance of Kirk’s Darth Vader KeepCup. In coffee news: Chinese coffee giant Luckin Coffee has just opened its 20,000th store, doubling its locations in just over a year. And El Salvador’s President, Nayib Bukele, has launched a high-end coffee brand called Bean of Fire. Random? We think so too! There’s so much more but you're just going to have to listen to find out. 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! Huge thankyou to Abigail for such a great conversation. Explore KeepCup at: @keepcup https://au.keepcup.com/ Want more coffee content?

    Mark Crotti is in the building! Mark Crotti is a singer, songwriter and lover of breakfast. He began the clothing brand Breakfast Shirts in 2017 after searching for outrageous prints to wear while eating poached eggs. Breakfast Shirts are making ugly cool— their garish designs support small businesses, cafes, and the arts across Australia.

We discuss the Breakfast Shirts Cafe Tour, Mark’s avoidance of big brands, and his unwavering commitment to being himself. Oh, and Business Kirk is here. To talk business. Of course. We talk about pitching to Vegemite, fantasy football for cafes and a portable coffee machine that’s built into your suitcase. In coffee news: NanoTemper have developed a machine that brews coffee six times stronger than espresso. Meanwhile, its BYO Barista to the Paris Olympics, and Australia has announced a 3.75% increase to the minimum wage. One more thing … no more crookies or novelty pastries !!

  • Greensquare is changing the way we buy coffee | CALEB HOLSTEIN!

    Greensquare is changing the way we buy coffee | CALEB HOLSTEIN!
    Sep 16 2024
    Caleb Holstein, Co-Founder and CEO of Greensquare, began his coffee startup to help people buy and manage beans. We had the pleasure of hearing his journey - from being raised by hippies on the Central Coast, to roastery consulting and falling in love with Excel spreadsheets - you’ll find that the path of an entrepreneur is never straight! But first! A real life heist has taken place at Rohan’s shop, and the thieves left behind a calling card… Plus, Project Zero Coffee gets a paw review from an unsuspecting canine, and why has Kirk’s two week Nokia stint come to an end? In coffee news: Starbucks have launched a city-wide returnable cup trial in California, and RMIT students have made concrete 30% stronger by adding coffee. If you're new here (heyyy), 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! Thankyou Caleb for sharing your story on the pod, it was great to hear the breadth of your knowledge.
