Bringing Aussie Coffee to the USA | NOLAN HIRTE!

Helloo! Today we are joined by none other than Founder and CEO of Proud Mary Coffee Roasters, Nolan Hirte! Nolan lives for coffee. He's travelled the world sourcing different origins, and describes tasting as a psychedelic experience - something that is not so easily explained with words. In this episode we discuss Nolan’s experience in the industry - everything from working with Heston Blumenthal, to being publicly shamed after a controversial broadsheet article. Plus, we dive into Proud Mary’s expansion to the U.S and Nolan’s insight into the cafe scenes of Austin and Portland.  Also! Kirk has a gripe (what’s new) with a Daily Grind article, and Rohan has some notes for coffee machine designers… In coffee news: A 2024 auction has seen the Lamastus Family Estates break its own (and also world) record. The farm sold a 3kg lot of honey processed geisha for US $40,554 – or US $13,518 per kilogram.  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 thank you to Nolan for sharing your story!

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!
