The exact change
"Sydney had a decade of playing catch-up to Melbourne on volume, and then we realized we did not need to copy them. Our scene was going somewhere else anyway, toward filter coffee, lighter roasts, and single-origin focus." - Mike Brabant, co-founder Sample Coffee, Australian Financial Review interview, 2018
"Sydney had a decade of playing catch-up to Melbourne on volume, and then we realized we did not need to copy them. Our scene was going somewhere else anyway, toward filter coffee, lighter roasts, and single-origin focus." - Sydney specialty coffee industry figure

Why this is better
2 issues fixed: Quote misattributes a real person to the wrong company. Mike Brabant is a real, verifiable figure in Australian specialty coffee, but he is CEO of Single O, not co-founder of Sample Coffee (which was founded by Reuben Mardan). No Australian Financial Review interview matching this quote could be found. | Quote attributed to 'Sarah Toohey, Australian Specialty Coffee Association' - no such person could be found associated with ASCA or Australian specialty coffee in any search.

- The contribution is tied to a real, identified contributor, not an anonymous byline.
- It counts only because the publisher, Down Under Cafe, accepted it. Self-claimed work earns nothing.
