With dedication and perseverance, Penny has reached the top and is now preparing to represent Greece at the World Barista Championship 2025 in Milan!

Momentum is not just movement—it is the force that drives innovation. This was the concept Penny Chalkiadaki presented on the stage of the Hellenic Barista Championship, focusing on the integration of nitrogen into ground coffee and its impact on extraction.

By incorporating nitrogen into ground coffee, solubility is enhanced, allowing for better extraction, improved texture, and a more dynamic sensory experience in the cup.

Through a detailed and analytical approach, Penny’s presentation at the championship highlighted the connection between momentum and coffee evolution, proving that even when it seems like everything has been explored, rethinking what we know through challenges can create the momentum needed to push the perceived limits of creativity, leading to innovation and progress.

A huge congratulations to her exceptional coach and co-creator of the concept, Grigoria Katsikarou, as well as to Yiannis Taloumis for his invaluable support!

Coffee innovation never stops, and Penny proves it with every step she takes!
