Hey! Today we’re talking to the wonderful Jade Jennings.  Jade is a championship barista, coffee trainer, and all-round legend. Her journey began in 2005 when she transitioned from disability care to part-time work at Hudsons Coffee. Since then, she’s earned the titles of 2016/2017 Southern Barista Champion and runner-up in the 2016 Australian Barista Championships—all while raising a young family, which she describes as “like having two full-time jobs.”  So, how does she do it?? We discuss her experience as a barista trainer; what skills she teaches first, mastering taste, the secrets of latte art, and the impact of modern machinery on brewing. Plus, Jade details how she’d go about starting a coffee business - get your pens peoples! In coffee news: We’re one of the lucky 500 to score a packet of Doritos coffee-flavoured chips, researchers have discovered how to make cold brew in under 3 minutes, and Rohan’s got some notes for the Italians… Thank-you Jade!

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!
