Breakfast at ours: Reece Cooper from Beam Coffee

Bid hello to our new breakfast series, where we talk to some of our favourite foodies about how they prefer their morning meal. Whether sweet or savoury, at home or elsewhere, we're out to prove there are a bounty of different ways to break your fast.

Reece Cooper from coffee haven Beam Coffee is the next to sweep the stage. The bean connoisseur roasts in Byron shire, serving up his specialty brew at the likes of Ethel in Brunswick Heads. Naturally coffee forms a firm part of his breakfast routine, as we discover:

Are you a sweet or savoury breakfast fan?
On the go I’m a sweet man. Slurping the choppy milk left over after Farmer Jo’s break puffs is the best part.

Favourite breakfast venue?
Ethel has to be my favourite brekky place! I’m there 3 days a week rain hail or shine!

Describe your perfect breakfast
My ultimate breakfast for a day of good vibrations is cereal and a black coffee. Oats in some form always gives me the best long term energy accompanied by black coffee kicking me in the teeth to wake me up.

Your non-negotiable when it comes to your morning meal?
Coffee! I’m kind of a slow moving monster without it.
