IT’S JUST COFFEE!

• Single O × Reground - Give a Puck - Turning Coffee Waste Into Change | DION COHEN & NINNA LARSEN!

  What happens when coffee’s biggest waste problem becomes its biggest opportunity? Across cafés, roasteries, and homes, millions of coffee pucks hit landfill every day - but two Australian pioneers are proving that sustainability doesn’t have to be boring, expensive, or impossible through collaboration. In this episode, Ben sits down with Dion Cohen (Single O) and Ninna Larsen (Reground) to unpack how their “Give a Puck” campaign is set to divert 85 million coffee pucks from landfill in Sydney alone - and why this could reshape how the entire coffee industry thinks about waste. They share the wins, challenges, and realities of going green in a global industry that’s still catching up - from rethinking single-use cups existence to creating circular supply chains that actually work for our future. If you’re new here (welcome), our show dives into some of the best coffee conversations on the internet - but we’ll always remind ourselves at the end of the day, It’s Just Coffee!

• Australia’s New World Champion JACK SIMPSON | COFFEE BREAK! at HOST Milan

  This week Ben stands in Milan with the newly crowned 2025 World Barista Champion Jack Simpson from Axil Coffee Roasters. After eight years of training the final three almost coming to a breaking point - Jack reflects on the people, emotions, and responsibility that shaped his world-title win. From early mornings at Axil to visiting producers like Jonathan Gascara in Colombia, Jack shares how one moment on stage can ripple all the way back to origin. They unpack what it takes to compete at the highest level, the power of teamwork, and why every barista has a duty to tell the stories behind the cup. Plus, the gear talk you’ve been waiting for - from the wave machine to the vibrating table, and how these tools are already changing café workflows.
