KC Reynolds began her coffee career more than 2 decades ago after leaving university to pursue coffee full-time. While working at Brother Baba Budan, she completed her Q Grader certification and undertook extensive sensory and olfactory training, building a strong foundation in coffee quality and evaluation.
In 2011, KC joined Seven Seeds as a production roaster, developing deep experience in roasting and production. A year later, she began travelling internationally on coffee-buying trips, furthering her understanding of coffee at origin and strengthening relationships throughout the supply chain.
KC became a Cup of Excellence judge in 2014 and has since focused on coffee brewing, education, and sensory development, working closely with both industry professionals and customers.
Since joining Cafe Imports Australia in 2018 as part of the sensory analysis team, KC has continued to deepen her expertise across all areas of the coffee industry. She is driven by curiosity, collaboration, customer service, and making coffee buying fun and easy.
