Lisbon coffee week
For the second time at a more or less large coffee event in Lisbon (the first - the world aeropress championship 2024). Extremely friendly atmosphere, cuppings, barista battles, a sea of coffee, good and not so good. I was interested in trying new roasters and being aware of the assortment of those I know.
From the interesting things - a whole stand with different brands from the Czech Republic (I liked Mexico from Bean Smith's), guys from Barcelona Right Side, Ecuadorian bean-to-bar chocolate Paccari, Latvian kombucha Rudy's (mandarin with basil top). Also attended a cupping from Berlin's Five Elephant - there were a couple of decent basic coffees (Indonesia Pantan Musara), but overall without emotions. I noticed that for evaluating the aroma of dry coffee, new devices are being used (in 3 photos).
Took home chocolate, a pack from Senzu (their stand was among my favorites, exceptional lot Colombia Pitalito - clear notes of guava, starfruit, mind-blowing bubblegum), a signature coffee mug.
