From Barista Battle to sensory skills – here are our events for Berlin Coffee Week

During Berlin Coffee Week, Berlin gets a full dose of caffeine – and even more than that. The city's best baristas will be showing off their skills and you can sample some of the best coffees in the world. We are offering a total of five exciting events, including a coffee battle.

Coffee lovers have been waiting a long time for it, now it's finally back: Berlin Coffee Week. Its motto: coffee is more than just a caffeine kick, it's a way of life. And it's being put into practice: whether it's cupping challenges, brewing with Berlin's best baristas or a sensory course – there's something for everyone with numerous interesting events throughout Berlin on the subject of third wave coffee. We have also thought about something and have a lot to offer at Berlin Coffee Week (30 September to 6 October 2024). Find out exactly what it's all about in the overview:

Grind & Glory – Barista Battle

What's better than coffee? That's right, coffee competitions! In the Grind & Glory Filter Coffee Competition, eight competitors will grind on the Mahlkönig EK Omnia and then brew an unknown coffee to win a brand new Mahlkönig X54 grinder worth 500 euros. Here's how it works: All participants will receive the same mystery coffee (roasted by Cafe Imports Europe) and work on the same grinder (Mahlkönig Omnia). Whoever convinces the jury wins. There will also be plenty of coffee fun for the spectators of the battle: Delicious coffee drinks designed by our baristas and Coffee in Good Spirits Champion Vlad Demonenko, plus cupping sessions in cooperation with Cafe Imports.

Sensory course with June Simon

Blackberry, apple, honeydew melon or even wine – coffee can taste so different. It has been proven to contain almost twice as many aroma components as wine. From the mouthfeel to the aftertaste – German brewers cup champion, cuptasting runner-up and coffee professional June Simon explains how to train your palate and better describe the taste of coffee in a course that is being held here for the first time in this form. At the end of the workshop, you can win a frozen coffee box from us in a small cuptasting competition.
