Celebrating the craft of pourover coffee, the 2026 Allpress x Hario V60 Championship is heading across Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and the UK, bringing together brewers to put their pour-over skills to the test

The Allpress x HARIO V60 Championship returns in 2026, bigger than ever before. Spread across seven events and four countries, the global celebration of brewing will see home brewers and coffee professionals go head-to-head in a celebration of precision, craftsmanship and exceptional coffee. At stake? The title of 2026 V60 Champion and a once-in-a-lifetime Hario experience in Tokyo, Japan.

The championship will welcome competitors from Australia, New Zealand and, for the first time, Singapore and the UK.

Across a series of increasingly demanding brewing challenges, competitors will put their precision, creativity and technical skill to the test using Hario’s iconic V60. Brewing with the same competition coffee selected and roasted by Allpress Espresso, success comes down to one thing: extracting an exceptional cup.

More than a trophy is on the line.

Three V60 Champions will be crowned in 2026, with each winner earning a once-in-a-lifetime experience hosted by Hario. In April 2027, they’ll travel to Tokyo to experience Japanese coffee culture, enjoy exclusive access to Hario and attend the World Coffee Championship – one of the world’s most prestigious coffee events.

Whether you’re a seasoned barista, a dedicated home brewer or simply passionate about great coffee, the Allpress x Hario V60 Championship is an invitation to brew, learn and connect with one of the most passionate coffee communities in the region.
