For the first time in the competition’s 18-year history, the World AeroPress Championship will take place in Mexico City, at Frontón Bucareli, on December 6, 2026. The event brings together baristas from around the world, competing to brew the best coffee using the AeroPress — a simple device prized for the fine control it offers over extraction. The choice of Mexico City marks a significant expansion of the competition beyond its traditional European and North American markets, reflecting the rapid growth of the specialty coffee scene in Latin America. Organizers promise a refreshed format with expanded participation from Latin American regions.
