Weber Workshops, known among professional baristas for its precision equipment, has become the first-ever official espresso basket sponsor of the World Barista Championship for the 2026–2027 edition. The partnership includes the company’s own Unibasket, designed for maximally even extraction, which will be used in the competition’s official rounds.
The news lands in a busy season for the international specialty coffee community: at SIGEP Asia, Singapore crowned its new national champions — Gabriel Lim Yeok Sien won the Barista Championship title, while Elysia Tan took the Timemore Brewers Cup.
Collaborations like this between equipment makers and world championships confirm how technical the barista sport has become, where differences of a few tenths of a gram in extraction can decide a podium finish.
For those looking to experiment at home with precision recipes, Mister Tabaco offers a quality coffee selection in its dedicated category.
