The competition kit is as spectacular as the line-up – only the very best for the Roast Masters™ 2024 finalists.

Designed by the creators of Coffee Masters, Roast Masters™ is the cutting-edge tournament celebrating the best specialty roasters on the planet. It is also the place to spot the latest, most advanced equipment. Because without the best equipment, it would be almost impossible to brew winning coffees. 

THE ESPRESSO MACHINE
We're absolutely thrilled to announce that the SLAYER Steam LP has been crowned as the competition espresso machine for this year's competition. Since 2007, Slayer’s revolutionary products have been assembled by hand in Seattle, provoking innovation in coffee and elevating the worldwide standard for specialty.

THE GRINDER
The official grinder for espresso is the Faema MD5000. Designed for artists of in-cup quality, this new generation grinder-doser is a game-changer. With Keber burrs that preserve coffee's properties and freshness, and outstanding mechanics for fast brewing and temperature control, it's a barista's dream. 

THE ROASTER
Aillio's renowned Bullet Roaster will be the exclusive equipment used for the roasting challenges, spotlighting the brand's cutting-edge technology and design. It's a machine that allows café owners to start their roasting businesses confidently and with ease.

THE COFFEE
Sucafina Specialty, the renowned green coffee importer, has selected two mystery coffees for Roast Masters™ 2024 that will put the competitors' roasting skills to the test in search of the optimal flavour profile. Not only are these coffees exceptional in taste, both are IMPACT-verified. IMPACT is Sucafina’s responsible sourcing program that elevates and rewards farmers for their role in reshaping the coffee industry for good, benefiting farmers, traders and roasters.

THE MILK
For alle white coffees competitors will have to prepare during the battle, Den Eelder has got the ultimate cows milk at hand. What makes their unstandardized milk, maintaining a natural fat percentage perfect for steaming, so special is its freshness: it only takes 24 hours to go from cow to carton. 

THE WATER
Making up for 98% of the cup, filtered water to perfection is key for a winning coffee. BRITA offers filtered water that enhances the extraction of coffee in body and aroma. With optimal carbonate and total hardness levels, this water supports the perfect harmony in flavour.

THE COFFEE BAGS
Packiro is known for their innovative approach, commitment to sustainability in the industry and high quality packaging. That’s why Packiro’s sustainable, individually printed stand-up coffee pouches are the ideal choice to keep the Roast Masters™️ competition coffees fresh.
