ROSS QUAIL! - Head Judge at the World Barista Championships

Hey everyone! Today we welcome the legendary Ross Quail to the pod. Ross has years of experience working for equipment manufacturers and specialty coffee roasters. You may recognise him from his role as Head Judge at the World Barista Championships (this man knows good coffee). Today, he is Head of Sales at the Hemro Group, constantly travelling across the world in the name of coffee! We were lucky enough to sit down with him before he jumped on a jet to Seoul. In this episode: Instant coffee prices have doubled, WA bans single use coffee cups, and which cafes are using glass for takeaway? Plus, Ross dives into his coffee journey, from the Australian Army to ST. ALi, and divulges what his day to day looks like (spoiler - grinders never sleep). Plus, Rohan is back; and so are the extra hot takes!  If you're new here (yooo!), 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, that It's Just Coffee! Big thanks to Ross for this wonderful conversation. If you want more content (duh!) follow us @itsjustcoffee, we really appreciate your support.  Thank-you for tuning in! We hope you are drinking some bloody good coffee. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
