6th Hellenic AeroPress Championship, powered by KUDU, recently concluded with a resounding success that left attendees buzzing with excitement and caffeine-induced joy.

    

This year's event, held at the Technopolis venue, was a coffee extravaganza that brought together ambitious baristas and coffee enthusiasts from all corners of Greece.

    

Here, they gathered to compete in the art of brewing using the aerodynamic AeroPress method, with the ultimate prize being a coveted ticket to the AeroPress World Championship 2023 in Melbourne. However, beyond the competition, it was a heartwarming gathering of coffee lovers who came to have fun and revel in the world of coffee.
