A Night with Coffee Champions

To celebrate the upcoming World Barista Championships, The Grounds of Alexandria is offering a rare chance to spend an evening exploring the journey of coffee from seed to cup, hosted by three international coffee champions and a master coffee roaster.

The event, ‘A night with Coffee Champions’, will be held in The Grounds after hours on Tuesday 21 May. The Grounds is exclusively presenting two leading international coffee champions from Denmark to share their insights and expertise in the field. Klaus Thomsen and Casper Engel Rasmussen are co-founders of The Coffee Collective.

These international guest speakers will be joined by The Grounds co-founder, Head Barista and 2007 World Latte-Art Champion Jack Hanna and Master Roaster George Sabados.

The one-night only event will be hosted from 7pm until 9pm, giving guests the chance to experience The Grounds venue and gardens at night. Tickets are $45, which includes presentations by three renowned speakers, a coffee-inspired cocktail and beverage package on arrival as well as canapés and grazing tables of food and produce created by The Grounds kitchen.
