Competitors were asked to prepare four espresso, four milk-based, and four custom coffee drinks under the scrutiny of an international jury in just a quarter of an hour.
The competition was enlivened by workshops, panels, and tastings that are open each year to the public.
This year’s winner was Jan Škeřík of Double B Coffee & Tea; the cafe has two locations, on Anglická 15 near I.P. Pavlova and in Prague 5 Nové Butovice.
Škeřík also won in the signature drink category, whipping up a concoction of espresso, grapefruit juice, and cantaloupe syrup.
