    26/07/2026 | 46 mins.
    In the wake of a recent opinion article slamming local coffee for its quality and price, we bring Commonfolk’s Sam Keck to the table for a rebuttal. The cafe owner and coffee roaster tackles some big questions. Is Australian coffee any good? What is it worth? In a cost-of-living crisis, what is a coffee-loving consumer supposed to do?

About Dirty Linen - A Food Podcast with Dani Valent
Dirty Linen goes behind the scenes in restaurants, cafes and bars, covering issues the hospitality industry finds hard to share in public - it's all up for grabs and everything is on the table. Your host is food journalist Dani Valent. For 20 years, Dani has been writing about restaurants and the people who give them life. But she's an outsider, a critic, a tourist, a fan. Despite hearing the stories and writing the tales, she's never really understood what happens behind the scenes. Now it's time to get stuck in, with compassion, humour and fearlessness. Dirty Linen goes deep, both in conversations with individuals and in pressing topics. We ask the hard questions and discuss the big issues, bringing a unique perspective to a world that we all intersect with but often don’t understand. Dirty Linen is a Deep in the Weeds Production.
