Celebrate Everything about Coffee with the 2020 Breville Virtual Coffee Festival

by - Wednesday, September 02, 2020

Now more than ever, I take refuge in procaffeinating as a way to pump myself up for another work from home session. No coffee, no productivity. Last June 2020, I finally said yes to my lifelong dream of owning my very own coffee machine – the Breville Barista Express in Cranberry. Since then, I've unearthed a new sense of purpose and that is to hone my coffee-making skills and fulfill my inner barista dreams. Owning this machine for months already, it made me realize that I still need to learn more about coffee-making to perfect my own cup of joe. Just imagine how thrilled I am when I heard that Breville is holding a virtual coffee festival

To celebrate its tenth year of providing good cups of coffee, the premium appliance brand is throwing a month-long Coffee Festival—its second after last year’s widely successful event. While the celebration will be held virtually, the message remains the same: Breville is here to help everyone enjoy cafe-quality coffee at home by connecting everyone to the experts. Participants can expect a wide variety of sessions that will cover anything and everything about coffee, from creating latte art down to using it for desserts.

Part of the month-long event is The Breville Coffee Hub, a series of Facebook Live Sessions which will feature experienced coffee masters who will share their insights and experience about the food, beverage, and wellness industry in general. Featuring experts like Chef Edward David Mateo of the La Royale Patisserie Food Group, Dave Dource—Academic Director of Barista Guild Asia - Philippine Chapter, and award-winning chef Louise Mabulo, the event opens the doorway for everyone to achieve their own Masterchef dreams. Also joining the event are Robert Francisco and Pacita Juan of the Philippine Coffee Board, Inc.

Aside from these, however, Breville will also be having the Pour Your Art Out: A Virtual Latte Art Challenge which will tap into the creative side of the coffee culture. In this year’s session, the brand invites talented baristas and latte artists to compete by creating their best latte designs. The contest is open to all so anyone who has a passion for coffee and a flair for art can join.

The third part of the event is the Coffee Rush Challenge, the first virtual baking competition that the brand will be holding during its festival. With home baking on the rise lately and the general public developing an even heightened palate for desserts, Breville is inviting everyone to participate in the event which will choose the best dessert inspired by our favorite morning cup of happiness.

Everyone can participate in this year's Breville Coffee Festival starting September 4. Keep an eye on Breville’s Coffee Festival Event Page on Facebook for updates. Also, you can visit their main social page for more information.
