Roast Rumble, the first Alternative Roasting Championship in Spain
After several years of relationship with Giesen Coffee Roasters and several conversations with the desire to do something together, we agreed and joined forces to participate in a booth at the Coffeefest in Madrid and also organize a roasting championship: Roast Rumble.
The Coffeefest is a coffee festival, as its name suggests, which organizes its second edition in Ifema, Madrid on February 17, 18, 19 and 20.
This festival promotes the specialty coffee culture, giving a voice to professionals and coffee lovers as a common benefit in which all attendees can acquire knowledge.
At the Coffeefest you can find different activities, such as lectures, workshops, the Roaster Village and the stands where various activities will take place.
We will be at booth C29 of the festival together with Giesen Coffee Roasters.
Besides being able to come to our Brew Bar to taste delicious recipes of coffees from origins such as Kenya, Rwanda or El Salvador developed through Traditional and Vanguard Processes, you will also be able to participate and attend the Roast Rumble, the first alternative roasting championship.
