Well, now that the dust has settled, we would like to thank everyone who made this year’s AeroPress event so successful. As we have so many people to thank, we will be breaking this down into two posts!
Post #1: The event organizers and the judges
Starting with the Big Dawgs themselves, our friends at Eight Ounce Coffee. Shout-out to Bjorn, and thank you for the opportunity to host. We are very grateful that Josh graced the mic and MC’d the event for us.
We would like to thank all of our judges for travelling to the event and sitting in the hot seat. We realize this isn’t an easy task, and we really appreciate you taking on the challenge.
This year’s judges were emily - pretty sure you know which Emily we’re talking about! Bailey, the co-owner of Anarchy Coffee Roasters and founder of Okanagan Coffee Festival, and the one and only Henryk, our resident judge, the owner, green buyer, and roaster behind neon in Kelowna.
We would also like to say a very special thank you to Lemmie Green for roasting the coffee for the event, sharing his roasting facility, known as Lemmie Land, and also spinning tunes for the event.
Thank you and Ciao-dy 🤠
