Premium coffee brand Julius Meinl will host the Grand Finale of its inaugural international barista competition at its historic Vienna headquarters on September 19th, 2024. Baristas from 12 countries, including Austria, Italy, and the USA, will showcase their mastery in espresso, cappuccino, and signature drink preparation.
After earning their spots through their national competition, these top baristas will compete on the international stage alongside the Rancilio Specialty RS1 multi-boiler espresso machine. Renowned for its cutting-edge brewing technology, the RS1 offers baristas unparalleled control over the espresso extraction process through Advanced Temperature Profiling. This technology allows competitors to finely tune the temperature, unlocking the full flavor potential of each coffee bean. The RS1’s unique workflow design, combined with Rancilio’s expertise, ensures that every cup served during the competition meets the highest standards of quality and taste.
Esteemed judges, including Tim Sturk, Angelika Galas, Ali Vogel and Agnieszka Rojewska, will assess the competitors, while Croatian TV personality Iva Šulentić will moderate the event. “We’re thrilled to collaborate with top industry brands as part of our ongoing commitment to innovation.” – declares Angelika Galas, Head of Julius Meinl Coffee Academy – “Embracing the latest technology is integral to serving premium coffee experiences. By supplying our baristas with the best tools and equipment, we can empower them to deliver excellence in every cup.”
The event promises to be a celebration of coffee excellence, with each barista bringing their unique flair to the world stage. The winner will embark on an exclusive trip to Honduras, immersing themselves in the country’s rich coffee culture.
