He spent eight years

Make a cup of coffee that touches the world!

Exclusive collection of Wu Zelin's "Champion Notes", complete tips to share, teach you not only to drink coffee, but also to understand coffee!

Comparing yourself with others is futile.

I've never beaten anybody,

Only try to beat myself.

In 2016, Wu Zelin completed the unprecedented three-time hegemony of the "Taiwan Coffee Championship" and represented Taiwan to win the "World Coffee Masters" championship and stand on the roof of the world!

But behind the brilliant results, not many people know that Wu Zelin's coffee life is not a step to the sky. Although I studied electrical engineering, I was immersed in the fascinating world of coffee in college, and in order to find out "what is good coffee?", He decided to quit his stable job as an engineer and embark on the road to becoming a professional barista.

He has no relevant background, financial aid, can only play the spirit of science and engineering people research coffee. In order to participate in the competition, he borrowed the venue to practice; in order not to waste limited funds, he had to bite his teeth to brew the failed "coffee milk"; in order to help him understand the criteria for judging, to form the strongest competition team, his wife Chee even went to apply for coffee judges...

The first time I opened my shop, I sold only one cup of coffee a day; I broke Taiwan's record for the first time on the world stage, and finally won the seventh place in the world. The second year I participated in the competition, but I didn't even enter the semi-finals. I suffered a disastrous defeat. He was depressed and skeptical, but never wanted to give up, looking for the ultimate answer in every cup of coffee he brewed by returning to the "initial heart" of coffee.

He always goes all out, through the constant exploration of taste, touch and smell, gradually gets rid of the myth of expensive coffee beans and the dependence on specific bean grinders, displays accumulated skills and self-confidence, and gradually approaches the figure of the "coffee master" in his mind.

It took him eight years to get from plain to professional, but he never forgot the "touch" when he first drank good coffee. Wu Zelin, who had just reached his peak, was about to surpass it.
