Get Roasted - Sunshine Style

It's that time of year again! The CSR Sugar Golden Bean Roaster Competition and Conference will soon be on...but not as you know it! This year we're moving on up to a new location at Caloundra on the Sunshine Coast.
Now in it's 6th year, the CSR Sugar Golden Bean continues as the 'must attend' event for Australian coffee roasters and suppliers to the industry. The event provides an opportunity for coffee roasters and associated industry members to network and provides a forum for learning and exchanging ideas within this growing industry. As this event continues to evolve and move with industry changes and innovations we are introducing two new categories. Category 9 will be the espresso based coffee for the Coffee Chain/Franchise along with Category 10 as the Syphon Coffee category.
