Whether you’re organising an event to celebrate coffee, or are participating in a coffee competition, we’d like to hear from you.
We collaborate with professionals from around the world to ensure that they have access to the best equipment and innovations possible.
We’ve worked with a number of coffee professionals and competitors around the globe, sharing our work and innovations to help them bring the best out of their coffee.
This includes support as part of a sponsorship, or contributions to special events and community-focused programs.

Formerly known as the LINK Access Program, ‘Brew Camp’ is a collaborative program designed to assist competitors in the World Brewers Cup and other competitors in the week leading up to their competition.
Established in 2024, this initiative sees our team provide competitors with access to roasting equipment, training space, and any other assistance they need in their competition preparation.
In 2026, Nucleus Coffee Tools will partner with the official WBrC Grinder Sponsor, Option-O, to provide a space for competitors to prepare and train for the World Brewers Cup in Brussels.
More details to be announced.
About the Sponsorship Program
With the Nucleus Coffee Tools Sponsorship Program, we seek to further improve access to specialised and innovative coffee equipment to those who need it, and to continue driving the coffee industry forward. This includes support for coffee competitions, and contributions towards special events and community focused programs.
The program is primarily focused on supplying Nucleus Coffee Tools’ innovations and products, for use on the competition stage or at special events. This is done through both direct supply, and in collaboration with our partners across the world. In some cases, members of our team may also be able to offer support with education, training and feedback.
Applications to the Sponsorship Program are open to anyone who is competing in a National or World Coffee Championship, as well as any person or group seeking to hold a community-focused coffee event.
However, central to the purpose of the Sponsorship Program is providing equal opportunity, celebrating coffee professionals and events from all across the globe. Many baristas, brewers and producers lack access to, or funds for equipment for their competitions and events – this program aims, where possible, to assist with ensuring that they have the equipment and knowledge they need.
Although the Sponsorship Program aims support as many people and events as possible, priority will be given to applicants who lack resources or access to equipment, and to those who share our values.
Brew Camp / Link Access Program
One of the most challenging components of coffee competitions is travelling with roasted coffee, and ensuring that its quality is preserved. Through our Link Access Program, we will offer select competitors the opportunity to use the LINK roaster and training opportunities in the days leading up to World Coffee Championships in the host country.
Equipment
Through our Sponsorship program, we offer coffee competitors and event organisers the opportunity to use a range of our equipment for their performances and projects. This includes equipment for competitors in National and World competitions, as well as private events to promote innovation and education in the coffee community.
Training and Support
For competitors and event organisers using Nucleus Coffee Tools' equipment, we offer training and support services for those using sponsored equipment and machinery. This includes technical information, techniques and clarification about all our products, innovations and methods.
Sponsorship FAQs
Our Sponsorship Program is open to anyone who is actively competing in a coffee competition, or hosting/support a community event for the coffee industry.
However, if the date of your competition/event is not yet determined (eg. ‘some time next year’), your application will not be successful – once you have a confirmed date and are registered to compete, you are welcome to apply.
If you are seeking sponsorship for a coffee event or competition, you should apply already knowing which Nucleus Coffee Tools equipment you would like. If you are not familiar with our products, please click here.
If you apply for sponsorship requesting ‘all equipment’, your application will be withdrawn.
We aim to reply to all applicants within two weeks, although sometimes it can take a little longer. We receive a large number of applications for our Sponsorship Program, so please be patient and allow us time to get back to you.

In order to ensure we can support as many requests as possible, shipping is not covered as part of sponsorship, and must be paid by the recipient.
The Sponsorship Program does not include providing monetary assistance or donations to events, campaigns and competitions.
Unfortunately, no. We don’t provide the LINK roaster as part of our Sponsorship Program – however, we encourage you to get in touch with your closest distributor of the LINK to see how and when it will be available.
