the COFFEE MAN - What Baristas Need to Hear | SASA SESTIC!

Yello! We’ve got a treat for you today… Sasa Sestic, aka ‘The Coffee Man,’ is here – and he’s OBSESSED with coffee! Sasa is a World Barista Champion and the founder of Ona Coffee, Project Origin, and Nucleus. In this episode, he shares his incredible journey—from a turbulent childhood in former Yugoslavia to playing handball at the Sydney Olympics, roasting coffee from his garage, and winning the 2015 World Barista Championship in Seattle. He’s done it all! We’ll dive into the ways Sasa has revolutionised the coffee industry: Pioneering methods like carbonic maceration (a fermentation technique that unlocks new flavors), the ‘Compass’ tool, and extract chilling balls. Plus, stick around to hear about the three best coffees he’s ever tasted – you’ll want to try these ASAP! Finally, Sasa shares his thoughts on the future of coffee: Can AI and automation complement the human touch in the art of coffee service? 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! Big thanks to Sasa for gracing our humble studio, we absolutely LOVED this conversation!
