Premium home brand Breville Philippines holds a virtual coffee festival to celebrate the 10th year in the industry.
Virtual events have become the new normal nowadays and due to that fact that most of us are stuck at home, it was easily adapted and now being encouraged not just for entertainment but especially for education.
Recently, I attended a coffee festival led by a brand known for creating awesome coffee maker in the world. I was ecstatically happy when I heard about it especially that it can help me level up mu usual coffee, creamer and sugar combination. Aside from that a friend of mine, Chef Edward Mateo, will be the one doing the demo.
For coffee enthusiasts like me, a perfect cup of joe is all these and more. There is no doubt that this beverage is a huge part of our lives for all the practical benefits that it provides—like waking us up in the morning—and the emotional perks that it offers.
While we are unable to easily grab our go-to drinks from our favorite, trusted coffee shops at the moment, the good news is that everyone can still enjoy a good coffee at home. One of the brands that make sure this is possible is Breville Philippines, a premium home label that offers a wide variety of kitchen partners that can elevate your home lifestyle. Among its best-sellers are the Barista Express Espresso Machine and the Precision Brewer Thermal Coffee Maker which makes it easy and accessible for everyone to enjoy the third wave and cafe-quality coffee at home.
Now on its first decade of being in the market, the brand stays solid on its mission to elevate the way consumers enjoy their coffee by holding their annual Coffee Festival. The event, which featured live sessions and contests about anything and everything coffee, will be held virtually and is open to everyone.
Spanning the month of September, the Breville Coffee Festival aims to gather professionals and enthusiasts and connect them to each other. The event is focused on helping regular consumers to celebrate their love for the drink by teaching them skills, tricks, and tips about their favorite beverage.
Participating in the festival are reputable names in the industry like Chef Edward David Mateo of the La Royale Patisserie Food Group who will be covering how to make coffee-flavored desserts, Dave Dource—Academic Director of the Philippine Chapter of Barista Guild Asia who will cover tips and techniques on making latte art, and Chef Louise Mabulo who will talk about how to use coffee for both food and non-food uses. Also joining the flock are Robert Francisco and Pacita Juan of the Philippine Coffee Board, Inc.
In the first session, Chef Edward prepared different pastries that can perfectly match a cup of coffee: Coffee Cheesecake with Coffee Chocolate Glaze, Coffee Bun Cake, and Chocolate Mocha Cake.
The month-long event will be divided into different sessions with experts taking over the Facebook Live Sessions sprinkled throughout the weeks. In addition to the virtual events, Breville Philippines is also opening their doors to enthusiasts through their “Pour Your Art Out: A Virtual Latte Art Challenge” and “Coffee Rush Challenge” which invites participants to compete with their best latte art creations and homemade coffee-themed cakes, respectively.
Moreover, the Coffee Festival is also aimed to help everyone in “Mastering a Healthy Lifestyle.” More than just a company that enables people to enjoy their own creations at home with their products, Breville Philippines is also an advocate of creating a harmonious community that brings together its customers, partners, and other stakeholders to live a sustainable lifestyle at home.
