Katarzyna Zyzało

I’ve been a part of the coffee community since 2008, and for many years of those early years, I was involved in the barista competition as a competitor — I’m the Polish Barista Champion of 2012 & 2014. 

 

Since then, I have been working as an independent coffee business consultant, new coffee product development specialist, and coffee marketing manager.

 

I’ve been actively judging since, mainly as a sensory & visual judge. The first World Coffee Events Certifications that I passed were Brewers Cup & Barista in 2018. In 2019 I certified in all other competition categories. 

 

I’ve been a licensed Q Arabica Grader since 2015. I’ve supported the SCA Poland Chapter for many years, where I currently hold the role of the National Coordinator.
