Over the weekend, the European leg of World of Coffee took place in Geneva, Switzerland and it brought with it four World Coffee Championships events. The last four championships of 2025 at that. It was three days of some of the best coffee action you’ll find anywhere in the world. And once the dust had settled, four new World Coffee Champions emerged.
The competitions held in Geneva this year were the World Latte Art Championship, World Coffee in Good Spirits Championship, World Cup Taster Championship, and the World Cezve/Ibrik Championship. A total of over 80 coffee professionals from around the world made the trip to compete in one of the four events, each a culmination of a year’s worth of practice and competitive mettle.
So without any further ado, here are the Winners and Finalists from the four 2025 World Coffee Championships events that took place at World of Coffee Geneva.
