Congratulations to Wataru, 2026 Japan Brewers Cup Champion. 🏆💦

Coffee has the power to connect people, and for Wataru, competition is an opportunity to share not only a coffee, but also the values, ideas, and stories behind every decision.

Through two Panamanian Geishas and a water profile designed for clarity, florals, and sweetness, he created a coffee experience built on intention.

Congratulations to Erlend, 2026 Norwegian Brewers Cup Champion. Returning to the competition stage for the first time since his 2019 victory, Erlend approached this year’s routine with a fresh perspective. 🏆

Working with two coffees that represented different sides of his personality, he built a cup that evolved with temperature, balancing vibrant expression with quiet elegance.

Using TONIK, JAMM, LYLAC, and KONFLUX, he brought the coffees into harmony, creating a cup that evolved with temperature while maintaining sweetness, intensity, and balance.

Coffee and beer talk about water very differently. 🍺💦

People in coffee tend to focus on Magnesium and Calcium. While beer brewers often focus on Chloride and Sulfate.
What’s interesting is that beer brewers have been using sulfate for decades to make hop character stand out in styles like IPAs and Pale Ales.

So if you’re chasing floral coffees, maybe it’s worth asking a different question! 👀🪻

Ever ruined a dish by adding too much salt? 🍳

The same thing can happen with brewing water.
More minerals aren’t always better.

Finding the tipping point is everything 🙌🏻💦

Want more floral notes in your coffee? 💐

Most people focus on magnesium and calcium when building brewing water, but forget about other minerals and ions.

But in the beer world, the conversation often revolves more around have sulfate vs chloride instead.
Sulfate has been widely used for years to enhance the perception of floral and give a long lasting aftertaste to hoppy beers such as pale ale, IPA and XPA.

Different minerals shift how we experience flavour.
The coffee stays the same, but your perception of it changes.

Congratulations to Vlad, winner of Russia’s 2026 Barista of the Year Championship, a routine built on curiosity, precision, and intentional water design. 🏆

In a format where every competitor worked with the same coffee and equipment, water became one of the few ways to truly shape the final cup experience.

Using KONFLUX and TONIK, Vlad focused on bringing out juicy acidity, clarity, and vibrant tropical fruit notes, refining the coffee’s sweetness while keeping the cup clean, structured, and expressive.
