AI Essentials for Baristas: From Learning to Leading | MATT PERGER!

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.

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!
