Episode 19, Melbourne Lockdown and Specialty Coffee Coming Out the Other Side with David Makin.

Sub-Zero Coffee

In this Podcast we had an honest discussion with one of Melbourne's leading figures in the Specialty Coffee Industry, David Makin. Dave himself is a two time Australian Barista Champion and came second in the World Barista Championship. He and his wife Zoe started Axil Coffee Roasters in 2010, since then they have opened 15 stores and have developed an impressive wholesale division. This year they began to expand, which has hit a significant hurdle with Government imposed Lockdowns that have crippled Victoria's hospitality industry. Like most business owners in Melbourne right now, Dave has expressed his thoughts on how we could better transition from lockdown and why hospitality is better equiped than most industries to keep customers and staff safe. We hope you enjoy this podcast. As always, stay cool!
