Espresso Italiano Champion: Turin Selections 2025

Friday, May 30, 2025, at the Costadoro Academy in Turin, the highly anticipated Turin selections for the Espresso Italiano Champion will take place — the prestigious competition promoted by the Istituto Espresso Italiano (IEI).

This stage is reserved for the best baristas from Caffè Costadoro, offering a unique opportunity to showcase skill and passion in the art of Italian-style espresso and cappuccino.

For the competition, the baristas will use our Evo2, an IEI-certified semi-automatic espresso machine that perfectly balances innovation and reliability.

From 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, participants will compete in precision, technique, and taste, calibrating their equipment and preparing espressos and cappuccinos strictly by the book. All of this will take place under the watchful eyes of technical judges, ready to evaluate every detail of the extraction process.

The Costadoro selection for the Espresso Italiano Champion is an unmissable opportunity to witness the talent of Italian baristas and see our Evo2 in action — a machine that, thanks to its reliability and ease of use, is the ideal solution for those who want to ensure consistent quality in every cup.

We can’t wait to experience this day dedicated to the excellence of Italian espresso, with the guaranteed quality of the Evo2.

May the best barista win!
