One of the highlights of the event is the beloved Australia’s Richest Barista competition – a knock-out style tournament where baristas from all over the country go head to head to see who’s got the chops. They complete will compete in three rounds focused on speed, latte art and tasting abilities and the winner will take home a $40,000 prize.
Visitors will have a chance to learn about the latest and greatest in the coffee industry from bean to cup. There will be a roasters zone where you can sample new beans, an origin section where you can learn about the growing process and meet the farmers and the Product Innovation Awards which will showcase the coolest new coffee technology.
