SHANGHAI, Nov. 09, 2025 — The Shanghai division of the 2025 Professional Coffee Athletics (PCA) concluded successfully on November 2. As the event’s official sponsor, Dr.Coffee prominently featured its Castle series of fully automatic coffee machines, captivating attendees with expert demonstrations and interactive experiences, thereby infusing the competition with distinct energy.
Shanghai’s Distinctive Blend of Charm and Coffee Culture
From the wistful recollections of historic Bund cafes a century past to the numerous coffee establishments now adorning its avenues, coffee has cemented its status as a quintessential element of Shanghai’s lifestyle. Shanghai’s selection as the host city for the PCA event stemmed from its unique quality where “coffee and life coexist harmoniously”—the inviting scent of coffee effortlessly pervaded both within and beyond the event premises, embodying the elegance and tranquility of Shanghai living.
Three Days of Competitions Highlighting Professional Coffee Expertise
Across the three-day duration, a brewing competition, a tasting competition, and a latte art competition unfolded sequentially, each presenting impressive displays of skill. These contests thoroughly upheld PCA’s core tenets of “just, fair, and open” while rigorously assessing the professional proficiency of all participants.
The Castle Series Takes Center Stage, Delivering an Immersive Experience
The Castle series, characterized by its distinctive classical design, is specifically engineered for specialty coffee establishments. Its integrated smart extraction system precisely regulates grinding accuracy via minute adjustments of the blade rotation, guaranteeing uniform flavor in each brewed cup. The advanced milk frothing heating technology facilitates the one-touch creation of diverse dry foam types, optimizing both quality and efficiency to flawlessly cater to the demands of cafes, restaurants, and other commercial environments. Equipped with a substantial 30g brewing unit, it effortlessly produces two cups with a single touch. Its three-bean hopper enables adaptable combinations and simultaneous grinding, facilitating unique flavor compositions. The intelligent steam wand, capable of automatic milk frothing, generated considerable interest and comprehensive discussions among industry experts present at the event.
Following the conclusion of the Shanghai division, successful participants will progress to the finals. Dr.Coffee remains committed to its professional ethos, enhancing the coffee industry with superior products and services, aiming to bring expertly prepared and delectable coffee to more urban areas and seamlessly integrate it into the daily routines of a broader populace.
