Our very own roaster Calvin, took home the title of Master of Moccamaster over the weekend ☕️👑
Competing against 11 other coffee aficionados in WA’s first ever Moccamaster Batch Brew Competition, the event was judged completely anonymously by the spectators — no judges panel, just pure crowd voting.
The winning coffee? Kaleidoscope Colombia from Offshoot Coffee. A juicy, expressive and wildly layered coffee designed to shine through batch brew.
Huge thanks to @moccamaster_aus and @micrologycoffeerosters for hosting such a fun and community-driven event.
Good news… Kaleidoscope will officially be landing next Friday!
Secure your bag(s) before they disappear into another dimension 🌈
Still buzzing from last night 🧡 Stoked to take out the first WA Moccamaster Batch Brew Comp ☕️
Big thanks to @moccamaster_aus and @micrologycoffeeroasters for co-hosting such a fun event and bringing the coffee community together. Loved the format with full anonymous spectator voting! Just people drinking coffee and voting for what they genuinely enjoyed.
Had heaps of fun roasting and brewing Kaleidoscope Colombia Natural from @offshootcoffee for the comp. Super expressive, juicy, funky and sweet 💥 Exactly the kind of coffee I love sharing in a batch brew setting.
We’ll be releasing Kaleidoscope very soon so you can brew it on your Moccamaster or favourite brewer at home too 👀
