When it comes to the World AeroPress Championship, it always pays to prepare for the unexpected.

This year, we’re taking it to a new level as Proud Mary and Fieldwork Coffee join forces to co-host – and co-roast for – the 2025 Australian AeroPress Championship.

Worlds will collide as Proud Mary’s fruit-forward naturals meet Fieldwork’s super-clean washed coffees in a one-off, competition-grade collab, roasted and blended for this event only. The coffees come to life thanks to Far More Coffee, a B-Corp importer championing sustainability and supplying the raw goods to make it all happen. Two roasters. Two styles. One blend, designed for battle.

In the competition itself, 24 competitors will go head-to-head in a classic knockout format, all chasing the same thing: the golden AeroPress, a Comandante grinder, and a trip to Seoul, Korea to represent Australia in the world final. Do you have what it takes to win?

Not competing? You’re still in for a good time.

Aunty Peg’s bar will be pouring downstairs, food trucks will be parked out back, and the energy will be high. Plus, score a bag of the limited edition competition coffee.

And because we love a good surprise… three of the luckiest spectators will walk away with door prizes including a limited edition Comandante C40 handgrinder, a newly-released AeroPress Premium (the super-fancy one), and more.

Whether you’re chasing AeroPress glory or cheering from the sidelines (and scoring some killer door prizes), don’t miss this epic day of coffee, competition, and collaboration.

Competitor registration goes live at 6:00pm AEST on Wednesday August 13th — and it's first in, best dressed!
