What’s Brewing on 18 September 2025?
- Fresh from the African School of Coffee, the Championship challenges baristas—newbies and pros alike—to bring their A‑game. For R 550, competitors lock in their slot and gear up for a fast‑paced elimination tournament, where every second counts and every pour is scrutinized.
