The wonderful Swiss SCAE Coffee Championships are behind us! Four new Swiss champions were crowned. The atmosphere was fantastic, and the organization was perfect.
Huge congratulations to the new Barista Champion Nina Rimpl, Latte Art Master André Gabriel, Cup Tasting Master Mathias Bühler, and Brewers Cup Champion Benjamin Hohlmann. We're keeping our fingers crossed for the World Championships in Rimini (Barista and Brewers) and Melbourne (Cup Tasting and Latte Art).
As coffee makers, we look back on very successful championships.
By the way, many more championships have been added since then. Learn more about them here .
