Saudi Arabia entered the global AeroPress stage in 2016, when Mohammed Alghamdi became the country’s first champion and represented the Kingdom at the world finals in Dublin. Since then, the Saudi AeroPress Championship has grown into a highly anticipated annual event, showcasing national talent and fostering a thriving specialty coffee culture.
In the most recent edition in 2024, Mohammed Aldakhilallah claimed the national title, joining the ranks of Saudi champions who have proudly carried the Kingdom’s name onto the international stage.
The Saudi AeroPress Championship has become a key platform for discovering local talent and propelling them to the global arena. Known for its spirit of creativity and innovation, the competition allows participants to craft unique recipes and flavors using the AeroPress. The judging process relies on blind tasting, ensuring fairness, transparency, and that victory is based solely on taste and quality.
Through this championship, Saudi Arabia continues to strengthen its position in the global coffee community—not only as a consumer nation but also as a stage for competition, innovation, and excellence in specialty coffee.
