Sponsor Spotlight: iFillSystems
We’re proud to welcome iFillSystems back as a longtime Golden Bean partner and the exclusive sponsor and supplier of our Single Serve category. For more than a decade, iFillSystems has supported the coffee industry with innovative single-serve filling solutions designed to help roasters bring their coffee into convenient pod formats without sacrificing quality.
Their support of Golden Bean gives roasters a unique opportunity to see how their coffee performs in a single-serve format, even if they don’t currently produce pods themselves. For Category 14, entrants simply submit whole bean coffee, and iFillSystems handles the grinding, filling and preparation of the iFillCup™ pods for judging.
We’re grateful for their continued commitment to Golden Bean and for helping create another meaningful way for roasters to showcase their coffee.
Category 14: Single Serve
We’re proud to once again have iFillSystems as the exclusive sponsor and supplier of the Single Serve category at Golden Bean.
This is a great opportunity for roasters who want to see how their coffee performs in a single-serve format — and the best part is, you do not currently need to offer a single serve product to enter.
Simply submit one pound of whole bean coffee for Category 14, and your coffee will be:
- ground for the competition,
- packed into iFillCup™ pods, and
- brewed on site for judging.
That means you can enter the category on a level playing field without needing your own pod production.
As an added bonus, roasters who submit an entry for Category 14: Single Serve are eligible to receive:
$150 off
your next iFillCup.com purchase or custom order.
After submitting your entry, just send iFill a copy of your submission receipt to receive the credit on your next order.
So as you cup through your best coffees and decide what’s making the trip to Denver, be sure to consider whether one of your contenders belongs in Single Serve as well.
And remember:
Enter 6 coffees and receive a complimentary Golden Bean delegate ticket valued at $550.
All coffee submissions must be received by 5 PM on Friday, September 25, 2026.
We can’t wait to see what you send.
