Nicole and Felix are among the most experienced baristas in the German-speaking world. For them, coffee championships are far more than just a competition - they are a space for resonance, a learning goal, and a hub for innovation all at once.
We discuss whether championships are really worth it, whether they are far too exclusive, and who actually benefits from them. Both guests wear their hearts on their sleeves and are so passionate that I might just sign up for a championship again myself.
