MY Coffee Awards is Spain’s annual specialty coffee roasting championship, held each November at the Nau Bostik in Barcelona. Founded in 2022 by Rafael Maggion and André Barretto, it brings together roasters from across Spain to compete in a live blind-tasting roasting competition judged by certified Q graders and coffee professionals.
The event has grown into one of the most significant coffee gatherings in Southern Europe, combining the Best Roaster competition with a three-day festival of tastings, workshops, and producer panels. The 2026 edition is the fifth.
How the Competition Works
All competitors in the Best Roaster championship roast the same standardized green coffee lot. Judges evaluate each batch blind, assessing aroma, flavor, body, acidity, and overall roast quality. More than 44 roasters competed in the 2024 edition, making it the largest annual roasting competition in Spain.
Past Winners
