GOLDENBEAN
Goldenbean is the worlds largest roasters competition, competitors submit coffees in various categories to be judged by their peers for their roasting ability.
To become the Overall Golden Bean Champion, and take home a custom Reg Barber made Golden Bean Trophy, roasters need to enter a coffee into three categories. The combined scores of all three coffees are calculated to crown the champion.

Milk-Based - Same settings as Espresso with a 6oz takeaway cup, Hood Whole Milk
Filter - 500ml (17 fl. oz) of filtered water, 30g filter ground – Medium, 92°C (198°F), 45 seconds bloom, that will yield 2 x 225ml (17.6 fl. oz) cups of coffee +/- 5%
