ANTHONY DOUGLAS! | World Championship Barista

Hey! Joining us today, World Barista Champion Anthony Douglas!

Anthony - who originally trained as a baker - became interested in coffee while making the odd brew at his restaurant job. He fell in love with the process, completely altering his path to become a barista. Fast forward to 2022 and he’s winning the World Barista Championship... 

Not bad!

We’re chatting about his incredible journey to the championships. Andy takes a mindful approach to coffee (and life in general), working with a mind coach before competing.

Plus, he shares his vision for the next 10 years of the industry, along with a controversial extra-hot take!

In coffee news: South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas is revealed to drink a shocking amount of instant coffee, professional footballer Cooper Kupp has started a coffee brand, and why has there been a huge surge in Indian coffee exports?

Thank-you to Anthony for joining the show, it was a pleasure to have you on. You can find him on Instagram @anthony_jdouglas.
