Each year we work to make this event the best event in the Irish Specialty Coffee calendar, and this year is no differet!  Being that we are from Cork, we have wanted to host the event in Cork City for a while, and this year, it’s all happening. We couldn’t be more excited to gather everyone together again in Cork, in 2025, to see who we will be sending to Seoul South Korea this December to represent Ireland in the World Aeropress Championships! 

This year the winner gets flights +  accommodation for 3 days paid for to represent Ireland in the World Aeropress Championships in Seoul South Korea later this year.

We took surveys from contestants and specatators alike, and we listened. So this year there will be loads more swag for the contestants, and more give aways for the specators!

This is going to be a total party atmosphere, with beer, drinks, a DJ, food, loads of coffee, and even more craic!
