Nico Bregolin wins the Espresso Italiano Champion 2022 competition in Milan and thus wins the title of best professional in terms of Italian espresso and cappuccino.

 

43 years old, from Rovigo, Nico Bregolin challenged 9 other professionals from Italy and beyond in the competition organized by the Istituto Espresso Italiano (IEI) in Piazza Duomo in Milan at Saporè. In just 11 minutes he had to calibrate his equipment (an Evo 2 machine and a Dalla Corte DC One coffee grinder) and demonstrate his ability to prepare four espressos and four cappuccinos judged by a pair of technical judges and a commission of judges sensory. The latter tasted his espressos and cappuccinos blindly, that is, without knowing who had prepared them.
