The SIAL Cup China Delter Press Brewing Championship 2025

The SIAL Cup China Delter Press Brewing Championship 2025

On September 3, 2025, the China Delter Press Brewing Championship thrilled attendees at the SIAL Shenzhen event, held at the Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center in Futian.

This exciting competition was the finale of a lineup of engaging coffee events, coming right after the SIAL CUP Barista Challenge and just before the awards ceremony later that afternoon.

A Showcase of Technique and Creativity

Contestants faced a unique challenge: they brewed under the pressure and pace of a real-world café environment—a simulation of the very scenarios the Delter Press was engineered for. With its injection brewing method and precision control, the Delter Press transformed performance under pressure into a showcase of clarity, consistency, and flavour.

Delter-Specific Techniques on Display

What set this championship apart was how baristas pushed the boundaries of what the Delter Press can do. Competitors showcased several signature approaches unique to Delter brewing:

  • Jet-Seal Precision – By leveraging the Delter’s jet-seal system, baristas avoided unwanted agitation, creating exceptionally clean, sweet cups even under tight time constraints.
  • Pulse Injection Control – Instead of a single pour, competitors used staggered water injections, fine-tuning extraction to highlight acidity, body, or sweetness depending on their coffee.
  • Inverted Infusion Hybrids – Some experimented with hybrid methods, briefly steeping before injecting, blending immersion-style depth with the Delter’s hallmark clarity.
  • Consistency Under Pressure – The chamber’s ability to repeat exact brews round after round proved invaluable, giving competitors the confidence to present identical cups to judges.

These methods not only highlighted the versatility of the Delter Press but also inspired new possibilities for home brewers and professionals alike.

Celebrating Innovation and Community

This championship didn’t just spotlight coffee craftsmanship—it highlighted the Delter Press as the heart of the competition. Baristas embraced the device’s design to push brewed clarity and consistency to the forefront.

Looking Ahead

The China Delter Press Brewing Championship celebrated more than just competition; it championed innovation, creativity, and the artistry of modern coffee brewing. For Delter Press enthusiasts, participants, and spectators alike, the event was a vibrant testament to what can be achieved when thoughtful design meets dedicated technique.
