Rancilio Specialty is gearing up for a series of new coffee challenges at The Barista League 2026: Europe, taking place on March 28 at the historic and charming Gabriel Loci in Prague.
Supported by the advanced technology of the Rancilio Specialty Invicta, 6 teams of talented baristas will bring the competition to a whole new level, delivering guests and judges an immersive coffee experience.
Built around three pillars — Concept, Service, and Product — the new season of The Barista League will challenge competitors beyond drink preparation. Judges will evaluate experience design, storytelling, and service style, guiding the audience through a multi-sensory coffee journey.
The Rancilio Specialty RS1 will welcome visitors at the Rancilio Specialty booth, where guests can test their coffee knowledge and sensory skills by taking part in the Guess the Temperature Profile game. Showcasing RS1’s cutting-edge Advanced Temperature Profiling technology, the game gives participants the opportunity to put their skills to the test and win a special souvenir.
With industry leaders, competitors, and coffee enthusiasts gathering from across Europe, the 2026 competition — available both live and online — promises exciting new highlights, alongside The Barista League’s signature community atmosphere, complete with music, food, drinks, and engaging games.
