“Home Barista Challenge” FAQs

Do I have to have a coffee machine to enter?

No, you don’t need to have a coffee machine. If you have been making coffee without a machine, show us how!

 

What if I want to use alternative milks in my entry e.g. Soy, Oat, Almond etc.

Riverina Fresh milks are available in Gold, Full Cream, Light, Skim, Lactose Free and Lactose Free – Light, but if you prefer a dairy free alternative when you are making coffee at home, please feel free to include it in your entry.

 

I drink black coffee, can I enter?

Yes, we will accept videos demonstrating how you’ve been making any style of coffee. We’re hoping to see examples of espressos, Ristrettos, Long blacks, batch brews, stovetops and more!

 

Do I have to feature a milk carton?
