About Us

Nestled beneath Meriton Suites on King Street in Melbourne CBD, Project Zero Coffee is where innovation meets indulgence. Founded by coffee visionary Kirk Pearson, host of It’s Just Coffee, and tech-savvy co-founder Johan Syah, our mission is simple: empower your day with the best coffee—every time. We’re not chained to old-school barista hierarchy. Instead, our data-driven approach harnesses advanced machinery to perfect consistency, enabling superb customer service from every team member.

Our passion for experimentation shines in our rotating roster of in-house, small-batch roasts—from co-fermented delights like Strawberry Cheesecake and Mandarin-infused blends to seasonal filter creations such as Berry Soda and Pina Colada. Pair your brew with one of our pastry offerings (like matcha kaya croissants) and enjoy the luminous simplicity of our space. Whether you’re after a bold espresso, dreamy cold brew or a filter-forward masterpiece, expect exceptional flavour, creativity, and an experience that’s uniquely Project Zero.
