 Over many years the GBC has seen top class baristas competing for this sought after title coming from all over Australia and Asia. Australia has been the host country for all of these years as this is where this Barista competition was first born and run by Danes Gourmet Coffee CEO, Paul Jackson. As an innovator and trailblazer within the industry, Paul Jackson has created a very competitive atmosphere and benchmark for barista competitions throughout the industry and a real insight to an ever evolving industry.
Dane's has been at the forefront of the coffee industry since 1999 when the Danes Gourmet Coffee Institute was born. This leading edge institute teaching Australia's best baristas and constantly growing and evolving as the industry grew around it, gave birth to the 'Grand Barista Championship' in 2001.
Since its inception in 2001, the GBC has created an ever growing interest in the coffee industry not just throughout Australia, but Asia as well. The event has also brought world class baristas from Asia to compete in the Australasian final each year.
This year Danes Gourmet Coffee has decided to help grow the industry in other parts of the world by allowing Thailand to host this year's Australasian final. The Australian GBC champion (Nadine Norman) will then be flown over to Thailand to compete against Asia's best barista for the 'Australasian Grand Barista Champion' crown.

The Orchestrale is an absolutely fantastic machine. I had the opportunity to use it at the GBC Heats and Finals and I was able to get everything I wanted out of the coffee. I was able to manipulate it and get everything I wanted. As far as milk texturing goes, it nails it which is really important, especially in Australia where we produce so many milk-based coffees.
The Orchestrale is an all-round great machine, the ergonomics are fantastic too and it’s easy to operate. It is a pure pleasure to work with and produces lovely coffee and lovely milk.
