The Copenhagen Coffee World is happening right now, and with it four different World Coffee Championships: the World Fine Drinks Coffee Championship, the World Cezve/Ibrik Championship, the World Latte Art Championship and the World Roasting Championship. But that doesn’t mean it’s too early to start thinking about 2025. With that in mind, the Specialty Coffee Association has published full schedule of host cities for the World Coffee Championship for 2025and it will be a world-wide year.
A total of seven events will take place in four cities on three continents. As previously announced, the 2025 World Barista Championship will be held in October as part of HostMilano, but the locations of the remaining six events have not yet been announced. Until now.
The first event of the 2025 season will be the World Roasting Championships, which will be held at the end of April at the Specialty Coffee Expo in Houston, Texas. The World Brewers Cup will take place shortly thereafter in May as part of the previously announced World of Coffee Jakarta in Indonesia. The final World of Coffee event of the year, which will be held in Geneva, Switzerland in June, will then host the remaining four events: the Latte Art World Championship, the Fine Spirits Coffee World Championship, the Cezve/Ibrik World Championship and the Cup Tasters World Championship.
“We are extremely excited that the 2025 World Coffee Championships will take place on at least three continents,” says Yannis Apostolopoulos, CEO of the Specialty Coffee Association. “Showcasing coffee excellence, craftsmanship and coffee innovation to more people through these competitions is part of our effort to make coffee better.”
So get your passports ready, it’s going to be a busy year. More information can be found on the World Coffee Championship website official website.
