Also, Raf has also founded a new exciting underground competition...if you're a budding designer, barista or have some creative ideas to do with coffee, check out the latest competition coming out called the "CREATORS CUP" happening in November. Contestants have to create their own brewer and will be judged on two categories: Brewer design and quality of your brew.
