BREAKING NEWS! - S.C.A.P. president rejects infused coffees

Infused coffee should NOT be considered specialty coffee The President of the Specialty Coffee Association of Panama released a very controversial statement earlier this week stating its rejection of infused coffee at the Best of Panama Competition.  It goes on to say that altered coffees jeopardise the hard work of Panamanian coffee and “should be categorised separately, clearly distinguishing them from genuine Speciality Coffee” Who better to discuss this topic on ‘It’s Just Coffee!’ than Founder of Criteria Coffee, Craig Simon. Craig is a 3 times Barista Champion and the First Q Grade Instructor in the southern hemisphere (1 of 50 positions held worldwide) You’ll hear both sides of the story and get an in-depth understanding of why this statement is huge in the coffee industry and just exactly why co-fermented coffees are getting a closer look.
