2025 World AeroPress Championship Recap

That's a wrap on the 2025 World AeroPress Championship in Seoul, South Korea. This was another record breaking season for WAC. In 2025 we saw nearly 8,000 competitors take to the stage in over 230 regional and national events across 68 countries — the largest cohort of global participation in our 17-year history and any single-discipline coffee competition worldwide. Thanks to the hard work of our small team, our network of hosts around the world, the support of our sponsors and AeroPress Inc., we’ve continued to reach new coffee markets, grow the global circuit, forge new champions, and leave a positive impression on the lives of coffee lovers across the globe. 1ST: Némo Pop, AUSTRALIA 2ND: Jan Ahrend, SWITZERLAND 3RD: Dharun Vyas, INDIA THANK YOU TO OUR JUDGES & EMCEES Ahnstar, Jeon Jooyeon, Megan Wyper, BK Kim, Dylan Siemens, Leif An, Michelle R.
