The serious business of coffee competitions

On the podcast this week, we're pulling back the curtain on the world of coffee competitions and exploring their profound impact on the coffee industry.

We chat with competition organisers, judges and barista champions, Stephen Morrissey, of the Specialty Coffee Association, Gwilym Davies, Morgan Eckroth and Rastislav Kasár, to understand the role competitions play in the community, how they elevate coffee standards, and find out what it takes to win.
