The humble aeropress is not just an awesome brewing device, that creates a delicious coffee beverage, but the Aeropress Championships held annually, are fast becoming one of the worlds' foremost advocates for Specialty Coffee competitions. Aimed at growing the industry by connecting coffee communities worldwide and locally through participation and awareness. Beneficial partnerships are formed between baristas, roasteries, coffee farmers and the coffee community all coming together for the good of the cup.
Wolff Coffee Roasters are again super excited to be hosting the Queensland Championships for the third year in a row. Collaborating closely with our Specialty Coffee Community, the creation of the much loved "Aeropress Poster" this year was run as a unique competition, with artists and creatives throwing their designs together with the hope of securing $500 prize winnings. Entries flooded in and through the power of the people vote a favourite was decided. Rising to the top was Artist Tiger Hsu, with his poster design symbolising "the Queensland Coffee Community being built on teamwork, with many passionate people helping execute a wonderful friendly competition".
