Award-Winning Large Chain Espresso · Every Medallist
Large Chain Espresso judges coffees from franchises and multi-site operators with 10+ locations. The challenge is consistency at scale — the blend has to perform across dozens of machines, baristas, and water profiles. A medal here means the roaster solved the volume problem without sacrificing cup quality, which is a different kind of achievement to a boutique single-origin Gold.
