From Our Community to Panama: Supporting Jane at WBC 2026

On 6 October 2026, Espresso Academic shared its support for Jane Kawinnart Veraworawet’s journey to the World Barista Championship in Panama. Our announcement marked the campus’s place among the event’s Bronze Sponsors, with our logo listed on the official World Coffee Championships website.

Supporting the coffee community also means providing space for activities, practice opportunities and equipment. Those everyday contributions help connect learning in the classroom with preparation for competition, from local events to the world stage.

The announcement invited the Thai community to support Jane and the Thai team through a commemorative cupping-spoon initiative. The Competitor Series shown in the original artwork was the supporter keepsake; the black Judge Series appeared as additional reference photographs in the album.

This archive preserves the support announcement ahead of the championship, rather than a competition result. Thank you to everyone who encouraged Jane and the Thai team. The original artwork and Facebook album below record the initiative as it was announced on 6 October, including its then-current availability details.
