A few more shots from the @ascacoffee QLD Community Coffee Championship
I was blown away by the standard of competition in my new home state. Across all the comps baristas consistently competed at a level where any could comfortably represent AU on the WCE stage. It was a privilege to share in everyone’s competitor journey this weekend and back a team of incredible judges.
Big thanks to all volunteers, sponsors and ASCA team for making this happen, especially the super human efforts of @mickey_gerard 🙌 #brydonbrews #coffeecompetition @venezianocoffeeroasters@lamarzoccoau
ASCA Community Coffee Champs Brewers Cup day 1 closes with the inimitable @dannyandrade18 finishing with a bang! #brydonbrews #coffeecompetition #brewerscup @ascacoffee
Queensland coffee pros we need you! The Community Coffee Champs provide the ideal platform to begin your competitive journey with less stress or experienced competitors to strive towards national finals. With 3 National Champions bred from QLD last year it is the best state to compete. The relaxed format allows it’s not too late to step into any of the comps 👊.
If you’d prefer to enjoy the amazing coffees served, hang with fellow coffee professionals and ultimately choose the winners join us as a judge. Having been fortunate to judge across the coffee world I can’t recommend it enough. Get involved! ☕️🏆@ascacoffee #coffeecompetition #brydonbrews

With the challenging landscape of Australian hospitality demanding we work ever smarter and more efficient @lamarzocco Sistema is set to redefine how daily data drives the most from our espresso equipment.
