Jack climbs to the top

Jack Allisey has done what no other Australian has done before – place second at the World Coffee Roasting Championship (WCRC). Before the ASCA Australian Coffee Championships in 2017, Australia didn’t have a national roasting competition, or a representative at the WCRC, which has been running since 2013.

Thanks to the initiative of Lucy Ward and Anne Cooper who pushed for the inclusion of the event at the ASCA Nationals, the Melbourne International Coffee Expo (MICE) held the inaugural event in 2017. Jack was crowned the champion and our best hope at disrupting the international competition rankings for the first time.

The WCRC is a three-day competition involving green bean evaluation, sample roasting, production roasting, and blending.
