The annual coffee competition season is over, and the "black" hands have been fighting against it with lunch handouts from all sides these days! Pass! Come on! That's it! (Thank you so much!) Now I want to eat something nice and get a full body massage.

But! Wonderful little dry goods in hand, still very fresh and hot, let cool is not good, so... That's why today's tweet.

(This is a dividing line to avoid too much nonsense)

First of all, congratulations to the three Li players who won the first, second and third place in the 2017 World Coffee Brewing Competition in China. They are:

Champion: Li Siying-Chengdu HMP Craft

Second runner-up: Li Jianfei-Beijing CREMA Coffee Training (S.O.E Coffee Roasters)

Third place: Li Jinkun-Guiyang George Commune Coffee

(Left: Li Jinkun, middle: Li Siying, right: Li Jianfei, yes, three eyes look in three directions, there were too many photographers at that time)

So, what coffee beans did these three compete with? What is a brewing appliance? What's the temperature of the brew? What are the extraction parameters? Don't worry, I'll tell you now!

All the pictures in this article are from Toolbox Plus. Because it has been shuttling between several competitions, only Li Jianfei, the second place, was photographed during the competition. Sorry for not being able to post the details of the other two contestants. Sorry.
