Overview

Australian baristas have had a disproportionate global influence on specialty coffee, with multiple World Barista Championship and World Brewers Cup titles and a widespread export of the Melbourne model of approachable, high-quality espresso. Key figures including Sasa Sestic and Matt Perger have brought Australian café philosophy to the UK, US, and Asia, establishing training programmes, roasteries, and consultancies that carry the influence of Australian café culture internationally.
