ANTHONY DOUGLAS! | World Championship Barista

Hey! Joining us today, World Barista Champion Anthony Douglas! Anthony - who originally trained as a baker - became interested in coffee while making the odd brew at his restaurant job. He fell in love with the process, completely altering his path to become a barista. Fast forward to 2022 and he’s winning the World Barista Championship...  Not bad! We’re chatting about his incredible journey to the championships. Andy takes a mindful approach to coffee (and life in general), working with a mind coach before competing. Plus, he shares his vision for the next 10 years of the industry, along with a controversial extra-hot take! In coffee news: South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas is revealed to drink a shocking amount of instant coffee, professional footballer Cooper Kupp has started a coffee brand, and why has there been a huge surge in Indian coffee exports? Thank-you to Anthony for joining the show, it was a pleasure to have you on. You can find him on Instagram @anthony_jdouglas.  Want more coffee content?

Om Podcasten

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!
