Donierverson dos Santos, 25 years of age, has beaten renowned competitors

Held in Curitiba, the 2nd Brazilian Roasting Championship elected Donieverson dos Santos as its winner. Orginally from the city of Três Corações, and a contributor to Bourbon Specialty Coffee, Doni, as he is best known, has beaten several more experienced competitors, remaining true to the planned roasting curve.

In addition to bringing the trophy home, he also secured his place at the World Coffee Roasting Championship, which will take place in January in Italy.

Doni has been working with roasting for only a year, graduated in agronomic engineering from the Federal Institute of Minas Gerais, at Campus Machado, IEF, and began working at Bourbon in March of that year. Before that, he was an intern at the coffee quality control laboratory in the University. He was hired to develop the company’s microbatch sector and become a roaster master. “We have received a lot of visits from our international customers, and it is me who prepare the samples, as well as the classification, fermentation projects, among other functions,” he says.

“The championship had an excellent level, with people from the old roasting guard, competitors who have worked for more than 10 years with specialty coffees, in the case of Leandro Paiva, who was a professor at the University and was one of the competitors,” he says.

Eduardo Scorcin, an independent professional came second, and Fábio Nakamura, from Isto é Café, third. They all used a coffee from the Pilar farm, fermented Catuaí CD.

Companies Probat Leogap and Lucca Cafés Especiais hosted the championship, which was chaired by the Polish expert on roasting competitions, Lukasz Jura, representative of World Coffee Events, WCE. The event was promoted by BSCA.
