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.
