ABOUT RACS
The annual Royal Adelaide Coffee Show is open to coffee roasters of Australia working with both domestic or imported green beans. The competition, with support from ACTA ( the Australian Coffee Traders Association Inc ) features classes for Espresso, Piccolo, Latte and Plunger Coffee. Medals will be awarded in 4 individual classes, and trophies will be presented for Champion Espresso, Latte, Plunger Coffee, Piccolo and Organic Coffee.
JUDGING PROCESS
Exhibits are judged in a blind tasting from both a technical and consumer appreciation perspective, taking into consideration the appearance, aroma, taste, and body.
A gold medal will be awarded to exhibits that score 95 points and over, a silver medal to exhibits that score 90 to 94.9 points and a bronze medal to exhibits that score 85 to 89.9 points.
A trophy will be awarded to the exhibit with the highest points. A Trophy may be awarded to the highest pointing silver medal winning exhibit if a gold is not awarded for that class.
