Jack Hanna - The Grounds - a podcast by Lee Tran Lam

Jack Hanna knows his coffee. He has been awarded national roasting competition and won the world latte art competition. He's also one of the people behind The Grounds, the many-things-in-one cafe that opened in Alexandria earlier this year. He talks about the coffee-related adventures he gets up to in the “research facility” at The Grounds, his feelings about coffee snobs, and what latte art he's gotten away with "drawing" (you'd be surprised). Oh and there was the time he fitted out a vintage coffee machine like a hot rod, too. He also covers his favourite places to drink in Sydney (and guess what, they're not cafes).

Thanks to Alex Watts for producing this podcast and making it sound slick and also FBi radio for lending us sweet use of its studio.
