$15 COMPETE | FREE TO SPECTATE

Defeat the Machine is a unique manual brewing competition that will test your skills against a commercial Fetco coffee brewer. Competitors who defeat the Fetco in a blind taste test conducted by our 3 expert judges will go head-to-head for the grand prize.

$15 buy-in to compete in a 16 person bracket.

To help you prepare best, after registration we’ll mail you a bag of the competition coffee, our Burundi Kavumu Twaranyuzwe. More will be available on competition day so feel free to use it all! The coffee sent to you and at the competition will be the same roast date to remain as consistent as possible. We’ll request your shipping address at checkout.

There will be food available for purchase on site by Toasty’s Tavern (https://www.toastystavern.com) as well as beer by Monnik Beer Co. (https://www.monnikbeer.com), so come hungry and thirsty.
