Back in the training room with Dasha.

Some of the sponsored equipment she’ll be using on stage at the World Barista Championship has arrived, including the @ceado Rev Zero and @weberworkshops Unibasket, so it’s time to start getting familiar with it.

We’ve given her Peachy to dial in while she gets used to the new setup. Partly because it’s one of our favourite coffees to drink around the roastery, but also because it comes from Nestor Lasso, who produced the coffee Dasha used to win the UK Barista Championship earlier this year.

With WBC only a few weeks away, we’re spending some time with Dasha in the training room as she works through the equipment, the coffee, her presentation and the process of getting ready to represent the UK on the world stage.

Peachy is available in the café and on our web store. taken in Formative Coffee by @dariabilaa

Meet Dasha @dariabilaa, the 2026 UK Barista Champion.

Dasha was a first-time competitor at UKBC, and she did it with a coffee that’s been on the Formative Café menu since the team first sourced it.

It’s a coffee we’ve always loved serving, and one that customers can actually afford to order in a café. Which, for a coffee that just won the UK Barista Championship, is pretty unusual.

Over the next few weeks, as Dasha gets ready for the World Barista Championship in Panama, we’ll be sitting down with her to talk about her process, her experience competing, and the things she finds interesting about coffee.

Some moments are worth celebrating.

A huge congratulations to our colleague Daria Billa - the newest UK Barista Champion.

To win the UK Barista Championship on her very first attempt is an incredible achievement, and is testament to Dasha’s hard work & dedication.

In October, Dasha will represent the UK at the World Barista Championship in Panama, competing alongside the very best coffee professionals in the world.

This also marks something we’re incredibly proud of as a team: for the fourth consecutive year, Formative Coffee will be represented at the highest level of coffee competition.

Competition has always been about more than trophies for us. It’s about curiosity, experimentation, relentless practice, and pushing ourselves to better understand coffee and hospitality. Seeing our team continue that tradition is something special.

Congratulations, Dasha. Panama awaits. 🇵🇦☕️ by @dariabilaa

Your 2026 UK Barista Champion is Daria Bila! 🏆

A huge congratulations to @laurinacoffee and @tedlongshot for securing second and third place.

Congratulations to all the competitors who took part in the competition this year. We have seen some incredible performances from both seasoned veterans and breakthrough newcomers.

We could not have run such a great competition this year without the incredible volunteers and judges who generously gave up their time.

A massive thank you to the sponsors who make this all possible: 🙌 @dallacorte.uk @1895bylavazza @lavazzauk @oatly @ceado @brita.uk @brita.professional @brew_it_group_official @espressosolutions @brades_farm @cafettoglobal @nizatto @theinstituteofcoffee_ @puq.coffee by @dariabilaa
