We are pairing up with Glitter Cat Barista and Ikawa in giving away a new Ikawa Pro100 sample roaster to support marginalized coffee professionals within our greater community.<\/p>\n
We believe in the power that coffee has to bring people together and recognize the barriers that prevent BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, disabled, and persons of marginalized gender from opportunities, education, and resources vital to their long-term success.<\/p>\n
The IKAWA Pro100 has a 120g capacity, connects directly with the Ikawa Pro App for hands-free roasting, and has sample roasting profiles built-in for you to use as a starting point while you grow and craft your own profiles.<\/p>\n
Cafe Imports will be following up directly to offer their consultation on sample roasting, cupping, and green-buying, as well as providing a free round of green coffee samples.<\/p>\n
To be entered into the giveaway, applicants just need to fill out the short form in the link below. This application is open to anyone that identifies in the context of being a marginalized coffee roaster.<\/p>\n
Applications will be reviewed by a selection committee of three lead by Veronica Grimm of Glitter Cat Barista, Sum Ngai, owner of Coffee Project NY, and Neichelle Guidry, founder of Black Girl Black Coffee.<\/p>\n
Applications open on August 12, 2021, and close at 11:59 pm PST on August 20, 2021. This is for the USA, Puerto Rico, Canada only.<\/p>\n
