Koffee Geeks, a local artisan coffee roaster, has secured a shared, 3rd place in the Espresso category at the Golden Bean Coffee Roasting Championship semi-finals for The Americas. Out of an impressive 1,500 entries from coffee roasters across the region, only 21 awards were presented, making Koffee Geeks’ achievement even more remarkable.
The Golden Bean Championship is one of the most highly regarded competitions in the global coffee industry, drawing in top-tier roasters from around the world. The semi-finals, which focus on both the quality of coffee and the skill of the roasters, are a rigorous test of expertise, flavor profiles, and creativity. To earn a spot in the top 3 is no small feat, and Koffee Geeks’ outstanding performance reflects their dedication to producing exceptional coffee.
A Taste of Excellence
The Espresso category, which Koffee Geeks placed in the top 3, is particularly competitive, requiring roasters to produce a balanced, flavorful espresso shot that highlights the complexities of their beans. Judges evaluate not only the taste and aroma but also the consistency and technical skill behind each espresso brew. Koffee Geeks impressed the panel with their refined and well-balanced espresso profile, showcasing both boldness and smoothness in every sip.
