Winners at both regional and national levels will receive exciting prizes, with the Grand Finale champion earning a global coffee experience and international farm visit. This year’s theme, “Alchemy of Flavors: A Fusion of MONIN & Exquisite Coffee,” highlighted the art of blending flavors and creativity in coffee making.

Challenging participants to craft espresso-based mocktails using MONIN’s extensive portfolio of beverage solutions, MCCC 2025 received thousands of entries from across the country.
