Discover how Danish-Dutch roaster Peter Dupont crafted the 2006 WBC-winning espresso blend using Daterra and La Minita, and his philosophy on roasting and collaboration.

Peter Dupont didn’t set out to become a roaster — but a single cup changed everything. Back in 1998, while working at Dromedar Kaffebar in Bergen, Norway, he had his first taste of specialty coffee from Solberg & Hansen. That cup didn’t just taste good — it opened his eyes to the diverse, vibrant world of origin-driven flavors. That moment sparked a journey from barista to roaster, eventually leading him to create the 2006 World Barista Championship-winning espresso blend.
