An interview with the 2023 World Cezve / Ibrik Champion

By

The 2023 World of Coffee event in Athens did not disappoint. Especially so for the four World Coffee Championships it hosted. More than 140 coffee professionals collectively competed in the World Barista Championship, World Brewers Cup, World Cup Tasters, and the World Cezve/Ibrik Championship.

The audience was unanimous that the standards displayed by competitors were the highest they’ve ever been. Judges had a tough time choosing a winner in every competition. But in the end they did.

Boram Um, from Brazil, was crowned the new World Barista Champion. Chile’s Carlos Medina took the World Brewers Cup title. The World Cup Tasters Champion was Young Baek, from Australia. And the Cezve/Ibrik Championship title went to France’s Pierre de Chanterac.

We sat down with Pierre for a chat about his journey from the first time he tasted specialty coffee, to the the moment he held the championship trophy in Athens. He had some great advice for barista who are thinking of competing.
