GOOD MEASURE | 'Mont Blanc' - From Idea to Icon

Hi coffee people! Today’s episode features Brandon and Mitch, 2 of the 3 owners of Good Measure. Good Measure is a vibey cafe on Lygon Street in Melbourne’s northside. During the day, they serve up delicious sandwiches and the very famous ‘Mont Blanc’, a lightly sweetened filter coffee topped with whipped cream and an orange nutmeg spice. At night, this space transforms into a cosy, Japanese-inspired cocktail bar. With vinyls spinning, Good Measure will serve a stunning range of sake and unique signature cocktails, accompanied by snacks like their house made kimchi-fries.  Rohan and Kirk unpack with the boys what it’s truly like running Good Measure. You’ll hear stories of the early days when Good Measure was just an idea and how that idea continually evolved into the cafe Melbourne now knows and loves. You’ll also hear the hilarious side of this cafe (ahem, the time Brandon fell through the ceiling during a very busy Saturday) and uncover the challenges they face working in the hospitality industry. In coffee news, we’re seeing a big increase of Americans drinking specialty coffee. Does this mean saying ‘goodbye’ to Starbucks? We’ll also discuss the Top 10 cities in the world for coffee, and if you’re a proud Melburnian, you’re not gonna like the outcome… If you're new here (happy to have you!), 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!
