How Does It Work?
━━━━
Roasters apply and submit a type sample to showcase their roasting style. Our team of professional tasters will blind cup all of the samples and rank by roast quality over the course of multiple rounds... aka we will roast your roasts.
The highest ranked roasters will be put to a vote in a final cupping and the Official Roasting Partner of the 2022 World AeroPress Championship will be crowned!
