Takumi Sakamoto of Deluca Coffee

has won the Australian Specialty

Coffee Association (ASCA) 2019

AMC Australian Coffee Roasting

Championship, held at Criteria

Coffee in Port Melbourne, Victoria

in late May.

Pat Connolly of Genovese Coffee

placed second and Daniel Shadbolt of

Veneziano Coffee Roasters placed third

in the competition.

“I’ve been roasting for six or

seven years and never entered any

competitions... I just can’t believe I

won,” Takumi tells BeanScene.

“I had no idea what to expect. To

win in roasting is an amazing feeling,

especially in Australia, one of the ‘coffee

capitals of the world’.”

Takumi roasted in a smaller

one-kilogram batch so more hot air

would fill the drum, maximising

its convection power.

“I made sure I got the best tasting

coffee in a cupping format. If I was

to roast for milk, filter, or espresso,

I might have taken a different

approach,” Takumi says.

While Takumi was commended

by the judges for sticking close to his

roasting plan, he learnt that it is also

important to understand what they

are looking for.

“I roasted in a way that I would like,

but what judges want in a cup might not

be the same thing,” Takumi says. “I need

to understand how judges see the coffee

and how the scoring works.”

Takumi will represent Australia

in the 2019 World Coffee Roasting

Championship, taking place in

Taipei from 15 to 18 November at the

2019 Taiwan International Coffee Show.
