Thanks to our New Zealand Cup Tasters sponsors 2018

Without our Sponsors and Venue Hosts, we couldn’t run our events.
Here’s a little bit about our 2018 Cup Tasters Sponsors and Venue Host and why they support us…
OzoneCoffeeRoastersOfficial Green Coffee & Roasting Sponsor
We are coffee roasters and hospitality experts. As a coffee company, we get to build friendships with a huge variety of interesting and talented people who are embarking on new adventures every day. From coffee lovers through to coffee farmers, we get to connect these people and it is such a humbling and inspiring privilege.
Since starting out in 1998, we have invested in our product, people and community. Back then we were just three passionate people roasting out of a small shop in a provincial New Zealand surf town. Today, the only real difference is we have a lot more friends around the globe to learn things from and to share ideas with.
We are proud to help support the industry through this event that brings the NZ coffee community together for a bit of competition and a lot of fun – see you there!

AMC-Logo-Black-300px-x145px Official Grinder Sponsor
“Everything for a great cup of coffee…except the beans!”
By now you will hopefully know AMC Roastery Supply as the place to get your Mahlkoenig, Ditting and Anfim grinders, thanks to our long-standing sponsorship of the New Zealand Coffee Championships. But did you know that our parent company is a third generation family-owned business that was first registered in 1950 by Alec Clubb, a canny ex-pat Scot who began importing coffee equipment in the 1960’s?
So, if you need to “Roast It, Pack It, Grind It, or Brew It” you should give Emma, Dave or Greg a call. Go on, you know you want to!
