Grinder Sponsor 2020/22/23 all events.
“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 1960s?
And did you also know that AMC Roastery Supply is the place to go for Diedrich coffee roasters, Actionpac packaging scales, and Fetco filter brewers? In each of the different equipment segments we supply, we have set about securing what we believe to be the best performing equipment brands in each of those segments. We try to sell solutions, not headaches.
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! emma@amcrsnz.co.nz
Alternate Milk Sponsor 2022
We are humbled every day by the way that baristas have embraced the Alpro Professional range. It was launched by Real Foods into NZ café’s in 2012 and has grown strongly every year since. We are excited about the future as more consumers continue to choose to incorporate plant-based options. Alpro offers a complete plant-based range that includes Oat, Coconut, Almond, and Soy, and the range is so popular because it is crafted for and by baristas to provide superior results…
We are proud to be a sponsor of the NZSCA Cup Tasters event as it gives us an opportunity to connect with the industry and show our appreciation to those who support Alpro every day.
Please feel free to contact us anytime at sales@realfoods.co.nz
Porcelain Sponsor 2020/22/23 Barista and Cup Tasters
Since their inception as the only New Zealand porcelain cup supplier, Acme has supported our events, from Symposiums through to battling baristas. They are supporting two of our Championship events, Barista and Cup Tasters.
Wellington-based Acme was founded in 2011 to fill the need for functional, durable and importantly user-friendly ceramics for the local market. Acme started with the espresso range, the espresso range has had a few changes over the years and will continue to evolve as they’re always looking for ways to improve their products.
Three years ago they started working on designs that reflect not just their own design ethos but the constantly evolving speciality coffee market. Last year Acme released the Roman range that reflected the lighter flavour profiles we had been seeing (in coffee) with a lighter, finer cup. This year they released their first new colours in four years, Kawakawa and Clay. Along with introducing new colours, they have mixed up the colours available in the differing ranges, including the Bobby mug and classic Acme Union mug range.
Acme loves sponsoring the New Zealand Speciality Coffee Association’s events and supporting this amazing community.
