Intuit Coffee Store Grand Opening

On March 1, 2025, Intuit Coffee officially opened its doors at 6 Missouri, Greenhills, San Juan — and what better way to celebrate than with an epic Brewer’s Cup competition! With 24 talented brewers vying for the title, the event showcased the incredible skill and passion of the Philippine coffee community.

The competition featured 8 intense elimination rounds and 4 thrilling semi-final rounds, leading to a fierce final face-off between Mykel Jae Santos, Kim Bryan Go, Patricia Chan, and Zeyn Afuang. Each round challenged the brewers with mystery beans, evaluated by three esteemed guest judges: Dave Dource (1st runner-up, 2024 FHA Singapore Coffee Mixology and founder of Pathfinders), Tita Aey (2024 Philippine Origami Cup Champion), and Jason Orense (Champion, Intuit Coffee Fundraising Competition 2024). Their expert feedback helped push the competitors to perfect their brews.

In the end, it was Zeyn Afuang who claimed the Grand Champion title, taking home PHP 10,000 in cash and a package of specialty coffee. The celebration continued with a bar takeover featuring Zeyn herself, where she shared her coffee journey, favorite Intuit Coffee beans, and expert brewing techniques with an eager crowd. 

Intuit Coffee extends its heartfelt gratitude to Rozen Custudio for hosting the event, John Tumulak for setting the vibe with amazing beats, and Chef Alvin Ong (@alvinonggg) and Daryl Bueno (@darylrbueno) for their incredible support. Huge congratulations to all our Brewers Cup finalists — your talent and dedication were truly commendable.

This grand opening wasn’t just about competition — it was a celebration of the community we’re building through thoughtfully crafted beans, shared knowledge, and a deep love for coffee. Here’s to many more cups and connections ahead!
