<v Speaker 1>Lots, Yeah.

0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:39.600
<v Speaker 6>I think it's a lot of hard work, Like you know,

0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:42.720
<v Speaker 6>a lot of training. I spent last three months most

0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:45.680
<v Speaker 6>nights in the training room just you know, practicing, perfecting

0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:46.720
<v Speaker 6>all these little details.

0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:49.479
<v Speaker 4>We pride ourselves on our coffee here in Melbourne to

0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:52.040
<v Speaker 4>all these other head wobblers roll into Melbourne from other

0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:53.840
<v Speaker 4>states and think they're going to clean up, and everyone

0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:57.400
<v Speaker 4>in Melbourne is like, you have no chance, guys. I

0:00:57.440 --> 0:01:00.840
<v Speaker 4>mean I'd like to say yes, but where's the second

0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:03.560
<v Speaker 4>best coffee in the country outside of Melbourne?

0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:06.200
<v Speaker 1>I think Sydney is getting close, right, I think, which

0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:06.720
<v Speaker 1>is annoying.

0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:09.920
<v Speaker 4>But they've got the silver medal.

0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:12.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we'll remind them of Yeah exactly.

0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:14.920
<v Speaker 2>The coffee club last time I went to Brisbane.

0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:18.080
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah, how's there coffee.

0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Jack, let's talk. Let's talk Brewster coffee. First, Clint, you

0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:24.800
<v Speaker 2>go into you.

0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:29.800
<v Speaker 5>Do Axel and Hawthorne. There's two shops, one on Bird Road,

0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:31.000
<v Speaker 5>one on glen Ferry Road.

0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:34.920
<v Speaker 2>Do you guys write the names on the cups of

0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:35.400
<v Speaker 2>your customers?

0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:35.680
<v Speaker 1>You know what?

0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:37.319
<v Speaker 6>I was going to bring this up because I've heard

0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:40.040
<v Speaker 6>that Clint's got a bit of an Instagram.

0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:43.360
<v Speaker 5>I've got a I might, I might hand you this

0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:44.880
<v Speaker 5>and you can go through some of the names.

0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:47.640
<v Speaker 3>So Clint often post photos of his coffee after he

0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:50.440
<v Speaker 3>picks them up. Do I need to get their button ready?

0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:52.120
<v Speaker 3>The center button you can click through?

0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:54.240
<v Speaker 1>Okay, you want to say a word?

0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:57.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Center it okay? So imagine the orders are ready, Jack?

0:01:58.480 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 2>Do you do the coffee for sure?

0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:00.280
<v Speaker 5>Uh?

0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:04.600
<v Speaker 1>Coffee for chai chai chai?

0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:11.520
<v Speaker 5>I think there was like a Colin's a koits clease yeah.

0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:23.040
<v Speaker 6>I can say this way, I'll be okay, okay, coffee.

0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:25.040
<v Speaker 4>Hey, Jack, coffee is culture here in Melbourne, but the

0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:28.040
<v Speaker 4>real coffee of Fishieronado's say, you can only have it

0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:32.079
<v Speaker 4>with like milk, that's it. But we have so many

0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 4>different milks now, is it okay? Is the coffee still

0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:38.120
<v Speaker 4>as good if it's not with cow's milk?

0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:39.320
<v Speaker 1>I think it is now.

0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:42.160
<v Speaker 6>I think the way sort of alternate milks have progressed

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.760
<v Speaker 6>over the last few years. There's some really good quality ones,

0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:48.160
<v Speaker 6>some really good recipes that they're creating. So I think, yeah,

0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:52.600
<v Speaker 6>full cream milk alternate milks, I think are both good options.

0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:54.480
<v Speaker 4>Because some people don't have the choice, but some people

0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:56.240
<v Speaker 4>are like me, what.

0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:58.480
<v Speaker 5>Do you like to make alternate milk? How many do

0:02:58.560 --> 0:02:59.799
<v Speaker 5>you stock or use?

0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:02.040
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, let's go through yeah, yeah, okay, how much time

0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:03.040
<v Speaker 6>do we have you go through it?

0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:03.400
<v Speaker 2>Okay?

0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:09.600
<v Speaker 6>Almond, tick, oat, coconut, Yeah, coconut. I've seen macademia.

0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:10.359
<v Speaker 2>That is good.

0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:14.400
<v Speaker 1>The macademia is soy. Yes, lactose free.

0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:16.720
<v Speaker 2>We tried camel's milk.

0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:19.040
<v Speaker 4>Do you try that one?

0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:19.800
<v Speaker 6>Was not?

0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:20.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I've heard about it.

0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:22.840
<v Speaker 4>I got them coffees made with camel's milk to see

0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:25.799
<v Speaker 4>if they'd noticed an oh boy, did they notice? They

0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:28.400
<v Speaker 4>were stomping around. Kind there's something wrong with this, And

0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:28.840
<v Speaker 4>I was like, no.

0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:31.760
<v Speaker 5>Mon's fine.

0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:34.440
<v Speaker 3>Hey when it comes to picking beans, right, you guys

0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:37.200
<v Speaker 3>are on fire at your coffee shop, Axle. But say

0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:39.880
<v Speaker 3>we're in the supermarket, all right, picking beans for home.

0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:42.680
<v Speaker 3>What shall we be looking for? Where's the best stuff

0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:43.120
<v Speaker 3>come from?

0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:46.400
<v Speaker 6>Okay, Look, it can come from a lot of different places,

0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:50.720
<v Speaker 6>Central South America, Ethiopia, you know, all over Africa. There's

0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:53.440
<v Speaker 6>a lot of good coffees. But I think a good

0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:55.520
<v Speaker 6>tip for the supermarket is try and find the fresh,

0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:58.040
<v Speaker 6>fresh beans. So if you can look at the roastate

0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:02.640
<v Speaker 6>rather than expiry, look for a roastate. So it's a

0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:04.640
<v Speaker 6>big thing that I do with competition is serve it

0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:06.480
<v Speaker 6>at a particular day. So I serve it at ten

0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:08.640
<v Speaker 6>days old. It's going to be difficult at the supermarket

0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:12.360
<v Speaker 6>to find, but anything that's fresh or has a roasted date,

0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:14.360
<v Speaker 6>I think is going to go as early as possible.

0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:17.040
<v Speaker 2>And should we be buying the beans and crushing him

0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:17.600
<v Speaker 2>up ourself?

0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:20.800
<v Speaker 4>What depends what you've got. Like, I'm a pod girl

0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:22.839
<v Speaker 4>because I just don't have time for the cleanup of

0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:25.440
<v Speaker 4>the coffee machine. Are some pods better than others.

0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:27.560
<v Speaker 6>There's some good pods as well, and I think I've

0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:30.800
<v Speaker 6>seen some good ones in supermarkets too, So I think

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:34.960
<v Speaker 6>specially grade coffee is always good, whether it's pods or freshmen.

0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:37.600
<v Speaker 4>But there's so many flavors. I was on an espresso

0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:40.680
<v Speaker 4>the other day and I went on the website to

0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:41.200
<v Speaker 4>order some more.

0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:42.800
<v Speaker 2>We'd run out very overwhelming.

0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:46.440
<v Speaker 4>There's like sixty different types of pods, and some are

0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:49.960
<v Speaker 4>grown in different places. George, I know, and then you

0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:51.520
<v Speaker 4>get distracted by George one.

0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:54.360
<v Speaker 3>Yes, you look in his eyes and you're buying your results.

0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:56.480
<v Speaker 3>What are the different ones?

0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:58.840
<v Speaker 5>Isstretto?

0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:02.360
<v Speaker 4>Do you know any thing about the best pods? Is there?

0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:02.599
<v Speaker 6>Like?

0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:04.960
<v Speaker 4>Do you go flavored? Do you go classic?

0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:05.240
<v Speaker 2>Do you?

0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:07.560
<v Speaker 6>I mean, I don't try it much of sort of

0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:09.640
<v Speaker 6>like those commercial style ones. But there's a lot of

0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:13.320
<v Speaker 6>good specially ones, and there's some single origin some.

0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:15.120
<v Speaker 4>I've seen that on the website.

0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:17.240
<v Speaker 2>The single origin, single origin is good.

0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:20.880
<v Speaker 4>What about temperature? Yes, because I hate buying a coffee

0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:22.120
<v Speaker 4>and it's so hot it burns your tongue.

0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:23.240
<v Speaker 1>Is it supposed to be that hot?

0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:24.440
<v Speaker 5>So I don't want it to too.

0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:26.280
<v Speaker 1>That's the thing.

0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:28.719
<v Speaker 6>It's so subjective, right, everyone likes it different, so I

0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:32.120
<v Speaker 6>mean that's perfect temp. I think for milk sixty five degrees,

0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:33.720
<v Speaker 6>which I think most people will consider too.

0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:38.480
<v Speaker 5>Could really okay? Okay, what about I was gonna say,

0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:42.040
<v Speaker 5>you're serving a customer and your eyes roll? Why do they?

0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:45.279
<v Speaker 5>Why do your eyes roll? What's the most annoying order?

0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:46.919
<v Speaker 2>Why to be syrup? Wouldn't it?

0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:47.480
<v Speaker 5>Can I be.

0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:50.520
<v Speaker 4>Jeans? You're reported for that?

0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:53.839
<v Speaker 1>I think syrups would would have to be the worst.

0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:56.359
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I mean, I mean, like I was saying, like,

0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:57.840
<v Speaker 6>you know, alternate milk's decap.

0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:01.640
<v Speaker 2>There's really good options now, so it's quite annoying. I

0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:05.240
<v Speaker 2>asked for a double small cappuccino, but just three quarters full.

0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:06.560
<v Speaker 4>That's all right, isn't it?

0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Okay, it's a.

0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Bit bigger than a piccolo, but not yeah, not a

0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:10.480
<v Speaker 2>full cut?

0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:14.040
<v Speaker 5>Did a magic really originate in Melbourne? Of course it did.

0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:15.560
<v Speaker 5>What is a magic?

0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:18.680
<v Speaker 1>So it's a double espresso cut short? So it's called

0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:19.680
<v Speaker 1>a double restrainto so.

0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:20.960
<v Speaker 5>It's a top bit of the what do you mean?

0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:21.680
<v Speaker 4>Cut short?

0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:23.920
<v Speaker 1>So okay, I'm going to get a little technical.

0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.600
<v Speaker 6>But a recipe is sort of you know, like building

0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:28.839
<v Speaker 6>a cake, right, So making a cake love cake. Yeah,

0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:31.920
<v Speaker 6>twenty grams of coffee dry going in and the espresso

0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:34.400
<v Speaker 6>coming out with weigh that, so that's around forty grams of.

0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:35.960
<v Speaker 4>Coffee out for a shot of coffee.

0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:40.480
<v Speaker 6>Yes, so two spouts son espresso, but you would cut

0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:41.760
<v Speaker 6>that to about thirty grams.

0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:42.680
<v Speaker 2>So it's just a.

0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:44.719
<v Speaker 5>Restricted, purest form of coffee.

0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:47.279
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it's like very sweet, like the acids, a little

0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:49.159
<v Speaker 6>bit higher, a little bit punchier.

0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:51.440
<v Speaker 4>So you did two of those in a matchic yes.

0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:53.480
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yep, and then three quarters milk.

0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:55.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's what you like.

0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:57.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So it's basically magic with no chocolate.

0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:00.839
<v Speaker 5>So now when I order it's no fun when I

0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:02.760
<v Speaker 5>order a magic in Sydney. Now I know why they

0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:03.640
