Championship Coaching

One-on-one prep for the world stage.

Martin coaches in the same room he trained in for Milan 2021. Two competition-spec machines, a calibrated sensory panel, recording equipment, and a vault of competition routines from the last ten years. Most of our competitors place in the top five at their next championship.

What's included
  • Routine design and rehearsal (45 days to stage)
  • Coffee sourcing and roast profile development
  • Sensory calibration with a four-palate panel, weekly
  • Video recording and frame-by-frame routine review
  • Stage rehearsal on competition-spec bar
  • Travel and visa support for international competitions
How it works
  1. 01

    First call

    30 minutes. You tell us the competition, the timeline, the budget. We tell you whether we are the right coach for the stage you are aiming at.

  2. 02

    Coffee + concept (months 1 to 2)

    We choose the coffee, define the signature drink, write the first version of the routine.

  3. 03

    Rehearsal block (months 3 to 4)

    You rehearse twice a week with Martin. Sensory panel weekly. Video review monthly. We rewrite the routine three to five times.

  4. 04

    Stage week

    We fly with you when budget allows. On-site bar setup, last calibrations, and stage-side support all the way to the green room door.

Who it's for
  • National-level barista competitors aiming for top placings
  • Continental champions preparing for the WBC
  • Coffee brands wanting to sponsor a competitor with serious shot of placing
