I met Maxwell in 2012 during the UK Barista Championship, he owned a cafe in Bath, Colonna & Small's at the time.
I had heard a lot about it... This man who would have the audacity to recommend people not have milk with a certain coffee or to drink it a certain way!! Who was this man?!
Well... This man, Maxwell went on to win the UK Barista Championship that year and then won it again another twice over the next 3 years. He was a 3 time World Barista Championship Finalist and has gone on to completely change the world of coffee, not only in his role as an organiser in the competitions, but through writing his book on water and now The Coffee Dictionary... He has a roastery that is expanding at this very moment and also has developed Colonna Coffee and started a premium trend of beautiful coffee in capsules.
Thank you again To Maxwell for his time and sharing his knowledge and story. it was an honour!
Enjoy the podcast...

Cafe owner

Head judge in the UK barista Championship.
Wolrd Barista judge
Absolute Legend!

Taylor Street baristas set a high standard… a really high standard!!
Andrew explains how he started off the Taylor street Baristas with his brother and sister and went on to open several cafes.
He was responsible for setting up the barista training and maintaining a consistent level of brilliance amongst his staff… a lot of Taylor Street trained baristas went on to do really well in competition.
The level of knowledge and skill that Andrew shares with his team is inspiring. Coffee prep, tea prep, roasting, disttribution… there’s not much Andrew hasnt taken part in in some way.
Enjoy part 1 of our chat, we talked coffee for well over an hour, so I edited the chunky morcels of coffee love and knowledge for you to enjoy.

Budz & Beanz #3
OG Greatwall VS Strawberry Sour Diesel
Skip the 420 Kangaroo and Caffeine Mark review Australian grown
strains of cannabis.
Skip enjoys some OG Greatwall
Mark vapes on some fruity Strawberry Sour Diesel (Purple Bud)
In this episode, we discover there is a flower/cafe in Gordon, Sydney that shares the same name as this podcast… They have been around a wee bit longer than our show, but none the less, there can be only ONE! and we will need to take care of this situation… Not sure how, but we will.
I (Caffeine Mark), review a lovely Ethiopian coffee run through an aeropress with the talent and delicate touch of a gorilla with roid rage!
We then move on to the herbicule part of the show, reviewing 2 more strains grown right here in Australia.

Welcome folks to another episode of Caffeine Mark The Podcast, the politically incorrect way to love your coffee…
I am your host and instigator of caffeine mischief, I am Caffeine Mark and it is what it is!
If this is the first time you are listening to this show, welcome and thank you for your attention and time, i realise that we are running out of both in this life so cheers for listening.
In this glorious podcast about coffee, I interrogate Melanie Boehme, she hosts her own podcast on coffee marketing called “Adding some flavor”
A subject that anyone who wants to run a business in coffee should have a minimal understanding of, from running a cafe and setting up a website for your online needs, writing a blog… until you can hire a marketing guru or a gun manager to help you on your way…
Her first 6 epiosodes were hosted with the great Gwilym Davies (2009 world barista champion)
You can hear his interview on this podcast right here
Melanie gives us a run down on how she fell in love with coffee and invested a lot of time into building a business around her passion for the drink.
She has attended numerous courses in the industry, constantly sharpening her coffee mind and knowledge.
Look up her podcast on Itunes, Adding some flavor, much like this podcast and many others, they are free and yours to use to extract as much knowledge as you can and go forth and use it on your own terms in the name of coffee love.
Leave a rating and review on her show and take a screen shot and send it to me to get a shout out on this show… and if you’ve got a free minute leave a rating and a review for this podcast too, I would be forever grateful for your efforts… cheers.
Last week was huge for the show as I interviewed Hugh Kelly. the re-crowned Australian Barista Champion, 2016 & 2017 from ONA coffee in Canberra.
I have had great feedback from that show, thank you so much & keep sharing the love!
If these podcasts help you in any way, consider telling your friends and family, the most powerful marketing for us in the podcasting world is word of mouth and we would love it if you would share us around like a fine spliff.

Hugh Kelly is a young and unbelievably talented barista.
Two times Australian National Barista Champion.
His talent is equaled only by his modesty and open mind to the world and ideas of specialty coffee.
It was an honour to be able to chat with Hugh as he returned from Melbourne after competing in and winning this years Australian Barista Championship.
Under the guidance of 2015 World Barista Champion and owner of ONA Coffee Sasa Sestic, Hugh has everything he needs to take on the World Title in Korea.
In this interview, we chat about how he started his journey in coffee and competition, and eventually how he went on to win the Australian Title.
He explains in quite some detail the methods of extraction used in some of his signature drinks and how he mixes and matches flavours...
A few tips for competing baristas
and an all around great coffee chat.
Thank you for listening
& Enjoy!

The Gentleman Barista, James Nicholas from Mettricks coffee in Southampton.
Fresh out of competing in the UK Barista Championship, James chats about his preparing for the competition, designing a signature drink, hypnotising the judges by using a very well groomed moustache… And picking the right coffee grinder.
We take a few detours on this coffee chat but it is peppered with little jems of knowlege and coffee history…
One of my favourite bits of this chat is talking about the gentleman who stole an aeropress from one of the Mettricks shops as they were giving away free coffee to support charity and he ended up the starring on CCTV images that made it around the world in social media scrum…
I hope you enjoy the interview, remember to leave a review on Itunes and check out caffeinemark.com for more carzy coffee behaviour.
Love you all!

In part 2 of this chat with the Great Frank Andrews, we dive deeper into the subject of self awareness on a personal and professional level.
What it takes to be great in the industry and how some just remain in the mundane and mediocre... how to question with logic in hand and try not to punch yourself into an argument about cup sizes.
All of these things are debated in several different perspectives here...
Enjoy folks.

Frank Andrews is a man!
A man on a coffee mission!!!
What that mission is, you will find out in these upcoming episodes on the show...
He worked in the corporate world, and then dipped his toes into roasting coffee at home and eventually dived head first into buying a little cafe that he failed to name (there is a story behind that...) and is now getting ready to open the doors of his second shop in Kings Cross Sydney.
So, enjoy the chat with the great man himself.

In the most gorgeous Circular Quay in Sydney, in the Gateway Building is nestled a lovely little coffee gem, known as THE ESPRESSO ROOM...
In this little den of caffeine, only the best is served in the form of ONA coffee from the bat cave of brilliance itself in Canberra, The ONA ROASTERY!
At the head of this distribution of this devilish dark brew, here in Sydney, is the gorgeous Freya Crickmore, a lady with an outstanding passion for coffee and knowledge and patience beyond my sphere of understanding.
It takes a special set of skills to manage a cafe, and the team that revolves around the success of said cafe must be well taken care of, and Freya has these skills.
She shared with me a few of her tips and tricks as a barista, manager and people person... I hope I'm using that term correctly...
And what it's like working along side coffee legends such as Sasa Sestic & Hugh Kelly and how in sharing the passion for coffee it builds a beautiful and solid community of well energised, happy people...
So please, kick back, chill out and enjoy my chat with Freya.

This is part 2 of my coffee chat with Rob Forsyth from Forsyth coffee in Naremburn in Sydney...
This gentleman has so much knowledge and stories about coffee, that I had to break this up into 2 parts and we had so much more to chat about... so hopefully I will sit down again soon and we shall continue the caffeine interrogation.
Here we chat more about the history of the barista competition and unions that were put in place to govern over all the judging and competing.
It gets a little technical and historical but I love the fact that I can share this, it is so full of coffee gold.
Thank you again to Rob Forsyth!

This is part 16 of a 10 part mini self help for Baristas when their in the heat of the action!
As Baristas... We love coffee, but we have a few pet hates.
These are words of wisdom to help you deal with those moments without getting too much blood on your apron.
Dedicated to the poor barista that has to deal with hearing other peoples issues and just patch them up by feeding them coffee and weed.
Anyway... enjoy!
Lotsa Love from Caffeine Mark
Remain awesome folks!
