For something so central to specialty coffee, the espresso grinder is weirdly slow to change. Most years, it really does not. So when Rowan told us the Rev Series actually moved the needle, that stuck with us.

And he had the receipts. Consistent in the cup. Easy to clean. Steady on temperature. Sweet shots. Support that picked up the phone when they needed it. Nothing leaning on a single headline feature, all of it quietly adding up.

We asked him for a verdict and got nothing but good things. If another Phil and Sebastian ever opens its doors, he reckons the Rev Series would be one of the easiest calls on the list.

The full conversation with Rowan is linked in our bio. Worth a watch.

Thank you, Apex Coffee Imports and FUNK Coffee, for partnering with us on two incredible Canadian championships!

Thanks to you, our competitors had incredible coffees to brew and to roast (both, incidentally, produced by the exact same farmers at one very special washing station!), which means they're on the very best footing to compete on the World Stage. The AeroPress Championship and the first-ever Canadian Stronghold Roasting Championship were a huge success, thanks to your support.

ICYMI: FUNK is the official roaster for Canadian AeroPress Championship, and they supplied a cascara-washed coffee for competitors to brew; meanwhile, Apex provided a washed green coffee for competitors in the Canadian Stronghold Roasting Championship to roast. Both coffees came from Ela Telicha Washing Station in the Yirgacheffe region of Ethiopia, and celebrating the work of its producers at both competitions was truly momentous.

We’re proud to work with teams who care about those connections and continue to support Canadian coffee.
Thank you for being part of these championships and sharing them with our community!

That's a wrap on the Canadian AeroPress Championship and the first-ever Canadian Stronghold Roasting Championship!

What a weekend:

15 competitors roasted some beautifully nuanced coffee from Apex Coffee Imports on the Stronghold S2 Tabletop Roaster. Our panel of judges cupped and scored all 15 of their submissions. Members of the coffee-loving public joined the next round of tasting, and voted for their favourite.

Then, the nine regional AeroPress champions from across the country brewed their hearts out for the national title, using coffee roasted in Vancouver by FUNK and their trusty AeroPresses to impress our panel of judges.

Finally, at the end of one very momentous Saturday, we crowned two champions:

Hobeom Lee, our 2026 Canadian AeroPress Champion; and Daniel Kim, our Canadian Stronghold Roasting Champion!

They will go on to represent Canada at the World Championship in Mexico City and Seoul, respectively... with our resounding cheers and deep admiration behind them.

First and foremost, we are so thrilled have had such a vibrant group of coffee professionals, enthusiasts, innovators, adjudicators, creators, friends, and fans here at Eight Ounce HQ for these triumphant events. Thank you to all who came with such immeasurable energy and celebration.

Thanks, also, to and , for believing in us as hosts and embracing the power of collaboration.

To our friends at and .coffee_: thank you for supporting us with outstanding coffees (green and roasted, both from Ela Telicha Washing Station) not to mention your unique insight, expertise, and enthusiasm.

We can't say enough thanks to our two panels of judges: Michelle Ocfemia, Sarah Eastwood, and Natasha Yumasheva brought incredible discernment to the SRC, while Jeannie Lee, Kurtis Warren, and Tanner Gooding picked the best of three in each round of the CAC with decisive speed.

And of course, the afternoon wouldn't have been nearly so spirited or memorable without our intrepid emcees, Christine Rollings and Tyler Hagan.

Congratulations to our winners, our competitors, our sponsors and supporters, our judges, our co-hosts, and all who attended... you made history with us, and we'll never forget it!

This year's Canadian AeroPress Championship was as action-packed and caffeinated as ever... and after an afternoon of truly phenomenal brewing, we crowned our 2026 champion:

Hobeom Lee from Calgary, Alberta!

We were not only impressed by Hobeom's performance, but also moved by his words upon accepting the award, thanking competitors and hosts alike for strengthening our Canadian community.

Meanwhile, Thibaut Paggen took second place, with Franciso Siviero close behind in third.

Hobeom will proceed to the World AeroPress Championship this December in Mexico City, where we know he'll make our country proud.

Congratulations, Hobeom, and to all the competitors who set the bar even higher for next time!

Canada, meet your first-ever Canadian Stronghold Roasting Champion: Daniel Kim!

After a quick introduction to the Stronghold S32 Tabletop Roaster on Thursday, he and 14 other competitors put their skills to the test the very next day. They each had a full hour on the machine, plus up to 15 minutes to sort and submit their coffees.

Evaluation kicked off the following morning as our panel of judges cupped all 15 submissions; awarded points for fragrance, aroma, flavour, aftertaste, acidity, sweetness, and mouthfeel; and narrowed it down to the top 5 finalists.

Finally, folks from all parts of the community joined the judges' panel to taste those top five coffees, and together, they named Daniel Kim our champion.

The final rankings were as follows:

🥇 First: Daniel Kim
🥈 Second: Joseph Trichilo
Third: Jeannie Lee
Fourth: Frank Jiang
Fifth: West Liu

We were all immensely impressed by the energy and talent every competitor brought to this competition, and by the collaborative spirit that ran high throughout.

Huge congrats to Daniel Kim, who will go on to represent Canada at the World Stronghold Roasting Championship in Seoul, Korea. Way to go, Daniel; you've already done us proud!

Every roaster brings their own approach to coffee. It’s one reason we love sharing so many specialty coffees with you, and keep looking for more. Each coffee has its own history and flavour possibilities, shaped by the people who grow, process and roast it.

With the Stronghold S2, you can explore those roasting decisions at home, too.

The S2 brings the power of a production roaster into a compact micro-batch machine. Preloaded programs give you a place to start, while Pro Mode lets you adjust hot air in 0.1-level increments as you learn to refine your roasts.

What we love about Stronghold’s mission is that it opens roasting to more people, giving beginners and experienced roasters alike room to experiment and develop their own approach.

Curious about what goes into roasting your favourite coffee? Here’s your chance to learn a little more!

On October 17, join us for You Be the Judge to taste freshly roasted coffees from our top five competitors and vote for your favourite. Then watch the finals to find out who will represent Canada at the Stronghold World Roasting Championship in Seoul, Korea!

Hit the link in our bio to help choose our first Stronghold Roasting Champion and see the S2 in action.

Huge thanks to Stronghold for bringing their Roasting Championship to Canada, and for providing the S2 roasters that make this competition possible!
