The TAMP THAT Battle of the Baristas Returns
Our connection to coffee goes beyond the purpose-built solutions we’ve crafted for the hospitality industry’s talented baristas. Like the essential cup of coffee that kickstarts every hard worker’s day, our workwear is key in enabling peak performance in every job. Additionally, a freshly brewed complimentary coffee is a staple of our iconic in-store experience.
With coffee so entrenched in our offering, we’re proud to partner with Coffee Magazine again by hosting the thrilling TAMP THAT Barista Game Show, the ultimate battle of South Africa’s top coffee talent.
This marks the event's fourth edition, with our recently renovated Roodepoort store hosting the latest brew-off on Saturday, the 30th of November. From 1pm, the aroma of coffee and intense competition filled the air.
The TAMP THAT recipe: Five teams of four talented baristas brought their brewing brilliance to compete in a series of coffee-based battles. Some of the most recognisable names in local and global coffee took part, including Portugal-inspired vida e caffè, as well as Edenvale’s reigning champs, Grumpy’s Café, returning to defend their title. Not to mention team Mighty Jonsson, our very own wild card entrants, who – in true Jonsson Workwear style – made an impression.
After two hours of intense competition, Seattle Coffee’s West is Best was named this edition’s TAMP THAT winner!
We’re always energised by the opportunity to celebrate the artistry of coffee through this event. Thank you to Coffee Magazine, our incredible Roodepoort team, and who everyone supported on the day. And, of course, the baristas, whose talent and passion power hard workers in every industry.
Whether you’re in the coffee industry or simply need a cup to kickstart your day, we have a workwear solution for you. Hospitality or high-viz, on-site or in the office, our high-performance workwear excels in every job and every industry.
