    <blockquote> <p><em>&quot;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.&quot;</em> - Mike Brabant, co-founder Sample Coffee, <em>Australian Financial Review</em> interview, 2018</p> </blockquote>

    Why: 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.
