We’re officially partnering with SMPL coffee! ☕️

To kick things off, we got our hands on their August Women’s Month box, featuring five incredible women-led roasteries.

Of course, we wouldn’t be ASC if we didn’t host a cupping to celebrate both the partnership and the women behind the coffee we love 🧡

SMPL will be featuring African Coffees in their September subscription box, in celebration of Heritage month.

Sign up for your SMPL subscription, and you’ll get 15% off a Manual Brewing course at ASC. Stay tuned to find out more about what this partnership has in store for you 👀

Fai come se fossi a casa tua, as they say 🏠

From coffee cuppings with Raw coffee beans supplier ☕️ , Kort Coffee Roasters and SMPL , to home brewing workshops with Jody Mitchell , this year’s La Marzocco SA Winter Open House left us feeling overjoyed and definitely overcaffeinated. And we would do it all again in a heartbeat! 🧡

Thank you to La Marzocco SA for hosting an incredible space that allowed us to taste, connect, learn and celebrate specialty coffee and the amazing community it continues to build.

We’re already looking forward to the next one! ☕️

Congratulations to Lawrence Mokoena on being elected to the SCASA Board for the 2027/2028 cycle!

Building relationships and talking coffee all day is finally catching up to him, and we couldn’t be prouder.

We cannot wait to witness the impact you will make in our industry, while we proudly boast that we knew you before you were famous 😏🧡

We spent the morning with coffee professionals and enthusiasts alike, exploring the best coffees that Culture Coffee | Specialty Coffee Shop & Roastery has to offer ✨

Coffee allows us to create spaces where good conversations, powerful partnerships, connections and lifelong friendships can blossom and grow, and it is always such a priviledge to be celebrating it with people who remind us why we love what we do 🧡

Thank you to all who attended, and the biggest thank you to Culture Coffee | Specialty Coffee Shop & Roastery for pulling through and sharing your selection with us. We are already looking forward to the next one!☕️🥄
