On Thursday 16 November 2023, we held our Melbourne Barista Smackdown competition at “Butler Lane” in Richmond. Forty of Melbourne’s best baristas competed head to head in four rounds, for their chance to take home a share in the $10,000 prize pool.;
The four head-to-head knock out rounds were judged by; Simon Creswick (General Manager of Foodservice Vittoria Coffee), Caleb Cha (World Latte Art Champion & WCC Certified Visual Judge) and David Seng (Vittoria Coffee Trainer Victoria & Vice President of ASCA).
Special thanks to our event partners; Faema, Riverina Fresh, Paringa Estate, Califia Farms and Santa Vittoria.
