The 2011 Equal Coffee Chain Challenge was one BIG competition with eight chain stores from around the country geared up to battle it. Including two times winners Cafenatics, Michels, Doughnut King, Mrs Fields, Krispy Kreme, ONA Coffee House, Hudsons and CIBO, two pools were created for the heats with the top 4 going through to the semi final before the final show down.
Jurgen Kennedy from Sugar Australia, Brent Williams of Da Vinci Gourmet Syrups, and Chris Short from Cafetto were prepared to judge the finest from each of the teams. Their task was to rate the best of 10 piccolo lattes, 10 caffe lattes and 10 signature drinks.
CIBO and Cafenatics progressed through to the final round of the competition with CIBO finally taking out the title of the Equal Coffee Chain Challenge for 2011. Congratulations!
This years event was without a doubt one of the toughest with some excellent coffees from all teams. Congratulations to all the teams that entered, it’s great to see chain stores achieving consistently good coffee at such a high level.
