WORLD COFFEE DAY ‘26

A multi-sensory experience exploring flavour.

When all has settled, the flavour has dissipated, but the memory of connection will linger.

This is what I do - making flavour tangible.

Thank you to @victoriaarduino_za @milklabsouthafrica for making this possible @bangolufsen.southafrica for hosting us & of course everyone that attended.

DM for details about the next experience.

I’m not entirely sure how to fit this weekend into one photo dump, but here goes.

From setup, competitor workshops and team briefings, through to competition day itself, I had the absolute best time.

There were long days, a lot of coffee, very little sitting down, and somehow I’d happily do the whole thing again tomorrow.

What I’ll remember most, though, is the people.

To the entire Barista League team, thank you. From the moment I joined you, you made me feel like part of the family. I got to learn, work, laugh, meet some incredible people and experience this event from a completely different side.

Watching everything come together so smoothly was something special. I’m incredibly grateful that I got to play a small part in it.

To every competitor, judge, volunteer, partner and person who showed up and brought their energy, thank you. You made the weekend what it was.

@thebaristaleague , thank you for bringing Barista League back to Africa. Having something like this on our continent matters. Seeing our coffee community come together around it, and getting to experience that from inside the team, left my soul very full.

To the team, congratulations on an incredible event. You should be seriously proud of what you pulled off.

I came home tired, over-caffeinated, carrying far too much stuff, and very, very happy.

Thank you for letting me be part of the family.

I loved every moment.

Until the next one. ❤️☕

Before anyone competes for the title, there’s a whole lot of setting up. Turns out the machines don’t carry themselves. Rude. 😂

A quick look at day one of The Barista League: setup, team briefings and competitors getting ready.

Tomorrow we fine-tune, drink coffee and get into the competition. I’ll be taking you behind the scenes, chatting with competitors, judges and visitors, and showing you some of the work that makes it all happen.

First, sleep. In theory. ☕

Women creating for women. 🧡

An evening at @maiami_seafood_rst bringing together leading women chefs to celebrate creativity, gastronomy and female entrepreneurship, with the support of @unescocenter.

Our little touch as IWCA Greece: a specially designed postcard accompanying the dessert, carrying a message we truly believe in — when women support women, impact grows.

October is getting closer.

That means one thing: NCF tickets are almost here.

Two days in Gothenburg filled with great coffee, new people, good conversations, workshops, competitions, tastings, and a lot to discover.

27-28 February 2027
 See you there?

Coffee connects people all over the world, but it all starts with the farmers who grow it. 🌱

That’s why I’m proud to be one of the co-founding ambassadors for the Global Charity Cupping — bringing the coffee community together to support the next generation of coffee farmers.

The idea is simple:

Roasteries, cafés, and coffee communities around the world sign up and receive a curated box of coffees to cup together in August.

There is no cost involved.

Sign up, host a cupping, and collect funds to support the education and training of young coffee farmers in Indonesia.

Want to join? Send a DM to @iamnotabarista to learn more. ☕️❤️

I’m proud to be one of the Founding Ambassadors of the 🌍 Global Charity Cupping 2026.

This global initiative brings coffee shops and roasteries together to host charity cuppings, with one shared goal: raising funds for free coffee education for young coffee farmers in East Java, Indonesia in 2026.

What I love most about this project is its simplicity. Coffee shops do what they already do best—host great cupping events.

Participants purchase a ticket to join the cupping, and the proceeds help fund coffee education at origin.

To make it as easy as possible, our charity partners provide the coffees and cover the international shipping. You simply organize the event, bring your local coffee community together, and help turn every ticket into real impact.

Even better, the coffees come from some of the world’s most respected producers, green coffee suppliers, and roasters, generously shared by our amazing partners.

This project isn’t powered by sponsors or salaries. Everyone behind it—from the organizers to the ambassadors—is volunteering their time because we believe coffee can give something back.

If you own a coffee shop or roastery and would like to host a Global Charity Cupping in your city, we’d love to hear from you.

📩 Send @iamnotabarista a DM to learn more.

Let’s brew coffee, bring people together, and give something back to the people who make it all possible.

From Seeds to Cups.
From Cups Back to Origin.

❤️ Thank you for being part of the very first Global Charity Cupping.

先週木曜日に東京で行われたThe Barista Leagueに出場しました。結果は3位🥉
.
初競技会出場ということで、入賞という結果が出たことは素直に嬉しく思います！
これまで、多くのサポートや応援の声をいただきました。本当にありがとうございます！！
.
その一方で、自分のコーヒー人としてのスキル、経験値、知識の伸び代を感じた大会でもありました。バディの坂下さんに頼りっぱなしで、大会数日前に喝をいただいたり、当日も数々のコーヒープロフェッショナルと出会い話す中で、もっと磨き上げなければいけないことがあると多々感じました。
.
やはりどんな形にしろ、県外へ行きその道のプロフェッショナルと同じ時間を過ごすことはとても有意義です。これからも謙虚に、前向きに、そして情熱的に進んでいきたいと思います！
