Cheers 🥂 👏👏🎉 all the competitors and of course the new WBC 2025 World Barista Champion JACK SIMPSON

THANK YOU ⭐️ ❤️

To all the competitors whom have put out most of their effort

To the 25th Anniversary of WBC

To all those he VOLUNTEERS (as well as JUDGES)

To the amazing SCA Team and our JOL team 🥹

WBC preliminary- Day 1 ends..

This is World Barista Championship 25th Anniversary. Congratulations on the continuous success ❤️ thank you !

Barista Championship

This is me (Jingbo) my 11th year of judging coffee competitions and 8th year of Head Judge in Canada’s coffee championships

At every time of the coffee competition, I have met new competitors and new judges, and as well reunion with old coffee colleagues

What’s the meaning to each of individuals in these kind of events? I cannot help thinking about it… but have no particular answers

For me, I’m happy to see new passionate coffee professionals - both competitors and judges, volunteers; happy for myself to gain new experiences; happy to see the effort been rewarded at the end; happy to see success but at the same time hope more could give credit to efforts at the end leads to “failures”

Lots of times we focused too much on the result and easy to see success but hard to see the meaning of failure..Every success or failure for a good reason, we just need to overcome some ego that we carried and see through harder a little bit, then we could find the meaning and from that moment we became a better person!

Congrats to all the individuals whom have put out efforts into this competition and wish all will stronger back next year ⭐️

Thank you for this great IBRIK/CEZVE judging experience at WOC 2025 CIC 🎉

Congrats to 🇫🇷 the champion of CIC in 2025

Great team, we had lots of fun together

Wish Ibrik/Cezve would get more attention and gets popular as it’s been continually promoted by WCC

Ibrik/ Cezve - could definitely be as delicious as espresso 😉 no bias
