RIYADH (Saudi Arabia) – From November 29th to December 3rd, espresso machine manufacturer Dalla Corte is in Riyadh for the International Coffee & Chocolate Exhibition.

The International Coffee & Chocolate Exhibition also includes a rich and varied program of activities, including the Specialty Coffee Association’s championships. The recent success in 2021, where the Zero was used for the SCA national latte art championship here in Riyadh, has led to the Zero being chosen for this year’s barista championship as well.
In fact, Dalla Corte is the main sponsor of the Saudi Barista Championship together with Camel Step – Dalla Corte partners and local distributors in Saudi Arabia – with their signature commercial espresso machine, the Zero, and the DC One coffee grinder on-demand.
For the 32 contestants, the competition consists in preparing four cups of espresso, four cappuccinos and four espresso-based signature drinks, to be served to a jury of tasting experts.
The crowned Saudi Barista Champion will travel to Athens in June 2023 to represent Saudi Arabia in the international competition of the World Barista Championship.
