Beverage

In June 2018, Agnieszka Rojewska successfully became the first female competitor to become World Champion.  HBC is lucky enough to be able to get her to share one of the recipes from her award-winning presentation (see that presentation here on YouTube). You can also read more about her background in our previous post, where she introduced herself. 

We have also produced a video that features Rojewska creating her Signature Beverage:  

And below, in her own words, is the process she used to create her Signature Beverage, as well as the ingredients and instructions themselves.

When you watch Agnieszka Rojewska compete in the 2018 World Barista Championship, the first thing you notice is that she’s having fun. She’s smiling, she’s chatting, and she’s making her guests — the competition judges — feel like they’re seeing their favorite barista at the corner café.

That’s exactly her intention, she tells the judges: "What is the future of specialty coffee? For me, it's right back where we all started: when we're enjoying a cup of coffee in a specialty coffee shop. And this was enhanced by barista hospitality and customer service skills.” 

Rojewska became the first Polish barista and the first-ever woman to win the prestigious championship. Hamilton Beach Commercial® interviewed Rojewska about her historic win and her unique approach.
