May 2021: Our Volunteers These guys help us produce events for our coffee community. This group has to be the most diverse group of people we know of, and can come from all walks of life not just cafes and roasteries. This groups skill set and willingness to do what needs to be done without the spotlight being shone on them is second to none. Many spending hours before or after the event, we salute you, we couldn’t die this without you all.

May 2021: International Coffee People who have visited NZ. #canweadoptyou We throwback to the time when our borders were fully open, and overseas coffee experiences were a given.
