Award-Winning Small Chain Milk-Based · Every Medallist
Small Chain Milk-Based judges how multi-site operators' coffees perform in flat whites, lattes, and cappuccinos. What sets this category apart from the standard Milk-Based is the consistency challenge — the same blend has to deliver across 2–9 locations with different machines, water, and baristas. Roasters who medal here have typically dialled in their milk blend for replicability, not just peak performance on one machine in one shop.
