Wonderful Swiss SCAE Coffee Championships are behind us! Four new Swiss champions were crowned. The atmosphere was excellent, the organization perfect.
Huge congratulations to the new Barista Champion Nina Rimpl, Latte Art Champion André Gabriel, Cup Tasting Champion Mathias Bühler and Brewers Cup Champion Benjamin Hohlmann. We're keeping our fingers crossed for you at 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: since then, many more championships have been added. Here you can find out more about it.
