SIAL CUP Barista Challenge

The "SIAL CUP Barista Challenge" will continue to be presented during the exhibition period. The tournament will change the previous single competition format, instead, it will simulate the offline coffee consumption scenario, replicate the pressure of the barista under real working environment, examine and evaluate the comprehensive quality of the players, and ignite the innovation boom in the coffee field through the competition between masters and the all-round technical exchange!
