the COFFEE MAN - What Baristas Need to Hear | SASA SESTIC!

Yello! We’ve got a treat for you today… Sasa Sestic, aka ‘The Coffee Man,’ is here – and he’s OBSESSED with coffee! Sasa is a World Barista Champion and the founder of Ona Coffee, Project Origin, and Nucleus. In this episode, he shares his incredible journey—from a turbulent childhood in former Yugoslavia to playing handball at the Sydney Olympics, roasting coffee from his garage, and winning the 2015 World Barista Championship in Seattle. He’s done it all! We’ll dive into the ways Sasa has revolutionised the coffee industry: Pioneering methods like carbonic maceration (a fermentation technique that unlocks new flavors), the ‘Compass’ tool, and extract chilling balls. Plus, stick around to hear about the three best coffees he’s ever tasted – you’ll want to try these ASAP! Finally, Sasa shares his thoughts on the future of coffee: Can AI and automation complement the human touch in the art of coffee service? 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! Big thanks to Sasa for gracing our humble studio, we absolutely LOVED this conversation!

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!
