Grab a COFFEE and take a BREAK.
On today’s show: dining in UAE causes a minor lapse in Kirk’s vego diet (blame the wagyu double smash patty), we revel at seeing the Burj Khalifa in real life and reflect on the prevalence of expats and economic transition away from oil in Dubai. Plus, what are our thoughts on Pete Licata's ‘Caffeine Control Coffee’ and are we jumping on his 4-Week Caffeine Reduction Plan..?
Coffee Break is your weekly inside scoop into the coffee community. Everything from on the fly barista tips, honest and unfiltered cafe reviews (eek), hospitality stories and gate kept coffee secrets.

Pete Licata, former World Barista Champion, joins us to talk about ‘Caffeine Control Coffee,’ an Australian roastery launched by Pete and his wife in 2024. The brand focuses on managing caffeine intake for improved sleep and overall wellbeing (we were served some hard truths!).
We discuss various decaffeination methods as well as a greater need for caffeine education. Pete shares his experience in the industry, from his first competition back in 2005, to moving to Melbourne in 2019 for a R&D role at Nomad Coffee Group.
Plus, what are our thoughts on loyalty cards in cafes? And what trends does Pete see for the future of the coffee industry?
Thanks for joining us Pete, it was a pleasure to chat. (we are reconsidering our caffeine intake!)

It’s the final episode of our Dubai Special! We’re reflecting on the incredible experience that was ‘World of Coffee Dubai’ — the first time we’ve taken the podcast internationally, and what an absolute privilege it’s been. We’re a bit blurry-eyed in the hotel lobby (literally), but feeling full of love and gratitude.
World of Coffee Dubai is a world-class event, and we made sure to soak in everything it had to offer. In this episode, we look back at our favorite stalls, the amazing caliber of guests, our efforts smuggling milk, tasting a $1300 coffee, a trip to the desert, and a run-in with a falcon.
Dubai also highlighted some glaring gaps in Australia’s coffee industry — what have we learned from this experience? Tune in 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!
We cannot overstate our gratitude for ‘World of Coffee Dubai’. Thank you for an incredible opportunity! And of course we couldn't have done it without our wonderful listeners. Help us to continue to grow the podcast by sharing with friends, leaving a review or following us wherever you listen - we would greatly appreciate it!

Let us COFFEE BREAK.
Off the back of our episode with Scott Rao, we have a lot to say about his blunt, no-nonsense approach to coffee. Rohan and Kirk discuss Rao’s ability to read roasting data, as well as the importance of the ‘rate of rise’ curve and the critical ‘flick’ post-crack.
We also take a moment to get personal. How have certain health struggles impacted our lives and the lives of our families? It’s a reminder to enjoy life's small moments, including that first sip of a good cup of coffee.

Today we welcome Scott Rao to the podcast!! 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.

It’s time for a COFFEE BREAK yooo!
How can AI help to roast coffee beans? What kind of impact will AI have on artisanal experiences? Why is Japan overtaking Melbourne as the global mecca of coffee? These are some of the questions running through our mind after our incredible chat with Matt Perger.
And…stick around for the most important question of all - Who has better meat pies, Australia or New Zealand??

Greetings earthlings. 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.Find Matt at - @matt.pergerInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/matt.perger/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheetBarista Hustle - @baristahustleInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/baristahustle?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw== Get more information on AI at - https://www.lesswrong.com/ Where to find us:Rohan Cooke - @goldenbrown.coffeeInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/goldenbrown.coffee?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw== Kirk Pearson - @kirkthebaristaInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/kirkthebarista?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw== Proudly sponsored by Eco Barista!
