CHELMSFORD, UK – The Speciality Coffee Association of Europe (SCAE) have announced in partnership with World Coffee Events (WCE) the competitions that will be hosted at World of Coffee Budapest in June 2017.
Hungary’s capital will play host to no fewer than 5 competitions next year with World Brewers Cup, World Latte Art, World Coffee in Good Spirits, World Cup Tasters and World Cezve/Ibrik all set to feature at SCAE’s annual speciality coffee event.
Hosted over three days, each championship will highlight the skill and craft required to be a leader in that discipline, with the last day reserved for the finals as the best of the best go head-to-head in their attempt to be crowned the next World Champion.
The competition is fierce, with competitors entering from all over the world having already become the National Champion of their respective country and after months of practice and training to perfect their technique.
This will mark the 4th consecutive hosting of the World Brewers Cup at World of Coffee where it has played a major feature in raising the status and popularity of the event over the years.
The World Latte Art, World Coffee in Good Spirits, World Cup Tasters and World Cezve/Ibrik Championships are all set to return after a one-year absence from World of Coffee, and will ensure an action packed schedule of events unrivalled by any other speciality coffee event in the world.
David Veal, Executive Director for SCAE, remarked “Once again we are delighted to be hosting no fewer than five World Championships during our flagship World of Coffee event in Budapest next year.
It demonstrates the true character and determination of the speciality coffee community that we are able to take World of Coffee to an Eastern European country for the first time, and we have no doubt that SCAE members the world over will be excited to learn that alongside a fantastic show and beautiful city, these World Championships will also take place.”
Earlier this year, Dubai hosted the 2016 World Cezve/Ibrik Championship at its Gulfood event in February, while the 2016 World Roasting, World Cup Tasters, World Coffee in Good Spirits and World Latte Art Championships have just taken place in Shanghai, China at the Hotelex event.
