Ahmed Bin Sulayem of DMCC Coffee Centre says “We are thrilled to be hosting the UAE National Aeropress Championship once again at our state-of-the-art DMCC Coffee Centre. Coffee brings people together and it is such an intrinsic part of the culture in the UAE. As such, it is very encouraging to see the coffee scene in Dubai evolving so rapidly and with it, an expanding number of coffee enthusiasts and professionals. For its part, the DMCC Coffee Centre has become a one-stop shop for international coffee traders and is well on its way to transforming the Emirate into a global hub for coffee trade. The opportunities ahead are many and we look forward to further boosting coffee trade through Dubai and continuing to play our part in developing and promoting the local talent and potential in the sector.”
Organiser of the event and CEO of Mokha 1450, Garfield Kerr says “We are very pleased that the fifth annual UAE Aeropress Championship is taking place this month. The biggest coffee competition in the UAE continues to grow despite the COVID-19 Pandemic, and we’re delighted to see the UAE take centre stage as we continue to hold world class coffee industry events with the appropriate safety protocols. The DMCC Coffee Centre will again play host for all of this year’s events. This affords a unique opportunity to showcase the UAE’s best baristas, and for all stakeholders along the coffee value chain to come together under one roof for another exciting iteration of this great event.”
