Are you a certified coffee snob?
Do baristas tremble in anticipation of another of your complex coffee requests? Or are you looking to get into the industry and want to create the perfect brew?
Whatever your relationship with coffee, Campos Coffee has released a new podcast covering everything from the future of coffee to in-depth conversations with leaders in the coffee world.
Hosted by Campos Art Director Alex McKendrick and produced by Content Director Ben Rainford, All Things Coffee brings the experience of 21 years in Australia’s specialty coffee scene into this new podcast.
Each weekly 30-minute episode features interviews with McKendrick and some of Campos Coffee’s experts and guests who have been instrumental in Campos Coffee’s growth and sustainability mission.
The podcast offers a look inside the coffee world through the lens of guests, including Campos Coffee’s Green Bean Buyer Lloyd Thom; Commercial Director John Ronchi; Gary Smith CEO of Biopak; and Abigail Forsyth, founder of KeepCup.
“We want to offer listeners a fun yet informative glimpse into the world of coffee – and show that there’s so much more to it than the barista who makes your daily flat white,” says McKendrick.
“Like Campos Coffee itself, each episode is approachable and unpretentious, and reveals why each guest is passionate about their job and about coffee.”
“Over 10 episodes, listeners will learn why making an affogato is the ultimate test for a Campos Coffee barista, how sustainability underpins Campos Coffee’s entire ethos, why building relationships with coffee growers is integral to what we do, and how innovation and technology might actually lead to a better cup of coffee in the future!”

The first episode was on the 19-05-2023.
Based on the first two samplings, I would make a tighter fitting program. More punch could be achieved by saying the same thing in less time.
The episodes are are too rambling.
In other words, I would focus on the story of Campos Coffee, its business model, the experiences of being in the Campos coffee, and customer relations. But in a shorter time.
In addition to customer relations, I'd talk about what makes a good coffee: the quality of the bean, grind size, dose size, water temperature. brewing time, whether or not to use pre-infusion and milk type: full cream, lactose free, soy and oat.
You can do that without revealing any trade secrets to roasting technique.
In summary, make a tighter presentation.
Thank you,
