“The 2013 Golden Bean roasting competition rose to new heights yet again. It is an event that I greatly look forward to each year. To have your coffee appraised, judged and awarded by your peers is a truly rewarding and educational experience. To be able to meet and talk with so many coffee roasters and coffee professionals in one place is a hard thing to achieve in Australia but Golden Bean / Café Culture seem to pull it off so effortlessly each year. With industry experts and international guests giving insightful presentations about all things coffee, and sponsors hosting casual evening drinks, it is truly a fun and relaxing way to learn and network at the same time, all in beautiful Port Macquarie! Culminating in the awards dinner on Saturday night that seems to get more outrageous each year, this remains the coffee event of the year! Thanks to the whole Café Culture team for an amazing conference. I thoroughly recommend any coffee roaster who hasn’t entered or attended to do so! Bring on 2014!”
