  • Summary

  • 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!

  • Trusting "Eco-Friendly" Brands Isn’t Easy | COFFEE BREAK!

    Trusting "Eco-Friendly" Brands Isn’t Easy | COFFEE BREAK!
    Oct 2 2024
    In this Coffee Break, Rohan and Kirk dive into their latest conversation with Abigail Forsyth, the Founder of KeepCup, to unpack some of the episode’s best moments. The boys chat about everything from Abigail’s eco-conscious approach to running a business, to the Star Wars, Metallica, and Lord of the Rings connections she and Kirk bonded over. The convo takes a turn as the boys unpack the struggle of trusting big corporations that claim to be eco-friendly—especially with scandals like Redcycle proving otherwise. Abigail’s candidness about the challenges of running a truly sustainable company gives the team plenty to chat about. In a perfect world, KeepCup wouldn’t even be needed—we’d just have coffee in the café—but as Abi says, we’re solving half the issue. It’s a thought-provoking and humorous reflection on how much still needs to change in the sustainability space. Also on this ep, the boys throw in a live gift unwrapping to celebrate Kirk’s 30th birthday, followed by Kirk in the hot seat for our second-most famous segment in podcast history: Rapid Fire Questions—where Rohan brings the heat.

  • How KeepCup is fighting waste with founder | ABIGAIL FORSYTH!

    How KeepCup is fighting waste with founder | ABIGAIL FORSYTH!
    Sep 30 2024
    Ever wondered who started the reusable coffee cup revolution? We’re chatting with none other than Abigail Forsyth, the Co-Founder and Managing Director of KeepCup. In 2007, after introducing reusable soup mugs at her café, Abi and her brother decided to create their own reusable coffee cup. The now-iconic KeepCup is found in over 75 countries, diverting millions of disposable cups from landfill every day. In today’s episode, Abi schools Rohan and Kirk on the environmental impact of single-use cups. But here’s the big question: How do you run an eco-friendly business while still selling products? Wouldn’t the most sustainable option be no takeaways at all? We dive into the unfair blame placed on consumers when it comes to waste, and shift the focus toward the larger players (I’m looking at you Amazon). Plus, we explore adding surcharges to single-use cups, the impact of COVID on coffee culture, and the deflating social mood towards eco-friendly products (just let us die). Oh, and Abigail’s latest venture? Well, we may have to bleep that out! We also touch on the boys’ personal gripes—like Myki inspectors and people who order coffee while wearing headphones. Oh, and we always make time for a bit of Seinfeld talk, along with the mysterious disappearance of Kirk’s Darth Vader KeepCup. In coffee news: Chinese coffee giant Luckin Coffee has just opened its 20,000th store, doubling its locations in just over a year. And El Salvador’s President, Nayib Bukele, has launched a high-end coffee brand called Bean of Fire. Random? We think so too! There’s so much more but you're just going to have to listen to find out. 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 thankyou to Abigail for such a great conversation. Explore KeepCup at: @keepcup https://au.keepcup.com/ Want more coffee content?
