On August 29, 2024, we had the honor of participating in one of the most exciting competitions on the specialty coffee scene: The Barista League at the Society for Arts and Technology (SAT) in Montreal. As official espresso partner, Montreal coffee roasters 94 Celcius had the chance to showcase a unique coffee: our Ethiopian washed coffee, Aromélis, a veritable explosion of flavours and subtleties.

With a festive atmosphere, creative challenges and a passionate community, it's an event that celebrates the art of coffee while remaining accessible to all.

Our Contribution: Aromélis Ethiopia on the Rancilio Machine

For this edition in Montreal, we had the opportunity to present our Ethiopia Aromélis on the new espresso machine from RancilioThe Rancilio is a jewel of technology that has sublimated the complex aromas of our coffee.
