Helloo!

Today we are joined by none other than Founder and CEO of Proud Mary Coffee Roasters, Nolan Hirte!

Nolan lives for coffee. He's travelled the world sourcing different origins, and describes tasting as a psychedelic experience - something that is not so easily explained with words. In this episode we discuss Nolan’s experience in the industry - everything from working with Heston Blumenthal, to being publicly shamed after a controversial broadsheet article. Plus, we dive into Proud Mary’s expansion to the U.S and Nolan’s insight into the cafe scenes of Austin and Portland. 

Also! Kirk has a gripe (what’s new) with a Daily Grind article, and Rohan has some notes for coffee machine designers…

In coffee news: A 2024 auction has seen the Lamastus Family Estates break its own (and also world) record. The farm sold a 3kg lot of honey processed geisha for US $40,554 – or US $13,518 per kilogram. 

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 thank you to Nolan for sharing your story!
