The UAE’s most anticipated and inclusive coffee competition is back - and promises to be better than ever (and it’s free to attend!)
The 2025 UAE AeroPress Championship returns for its ninth edition, on November 6th, 7th and 8th - bringing together competitors, café owners, industry professionals, and coffee lovers from across the Emirates in what is now considered one of the region's most exciting and dynamic coffee events.
Building on the momentum of last year’s record-breaking success - which saw the UAE host the largest coffee competition in the world by number of competitors - the 2025 edition will celebrate the unique and evolving coffee culture of the Emirates under the theme: “A Celebration of Qahwa Qulture in the Emirates.”
This year's theme pays tribute to the UAE’s deep-rooted coffee heritage - from traditional Arabic Qahwa brewed in a dallah to the rise of specialty coffee and modern methods like the AeroPress. The event will highlight how these traditions now coexist and shape one of the most vibrant and innovative coffee cultures in the world.
The 2025 UAE AeroPress Championship winner will represent the UAE at the World AeroPress Championship, taking place in Seoul, South Korea, on December 5th and 6th.
