Cup of Poland Contest 2025

The third edition of Cup of Poland is coming in 2025! This prestigious competition for the highest quality roasted coffee in Poland is part of the Coffee Flavors Festival at Gastrotargi SMAKKi. The contest focuses on evaluating blends competing for the title of absolute leader in taste and quality. This event attracts the attention of both coffee experts and enthusiasts, showcasing the most exciting coffee offerings available on the Polish market.

The Cup of Poland competition will be held in three categories: Customer Choice, Public Choice, and Professional Choice. This means that the opportunity to select the favorite roasted coffee in Poland will be given to coffee enthusiasts, the audience, and a select group of professional judges who specialize in coffee evaluation as part of their daily work.

One of the key aspects of judging in the Cup of Poland competition is the complete anonymity of the tested samples, which are served as espresso cups.

Winners of the Second Edition of Cup of Poland

"Blind" Tastings

Tastings are conducted 100% “blind”. The following information is not disclosed:

  • who prepared the coffee
  • what espresso machine was used
  • the coffee brand

This approach creates a psychological effect, eliminating the so-called attachment to what is familiar. As a result, the competition is entirely objective. When selecting the best coffee, it is all about the taste, 100%.
