About

Hear and experience the history of coffee. Enjoy an endless supply of traditional Italian coffee, with an Italian pastry as you hear about the origins of how Melbourne got to be one of the coffee capitals of the world.

Share a coffee, as you hear history from the people that created it - Dominic Pellegrino, author of 'Melbourne Coffee Roasters: A History' and Joe Jackson, from Genovese Coffee, and a 2024 Australian Olympic barista.

Hosted by Morocco Global, Dominic Pellegrino, Genovese Coffee, Mocopan Coffee, Melbourne Books, and Portfolio Institute.
