Meet the People Behind the Championship

Great coffee brings people together. So does a great championship. Behind the 2026 China AeroPress Championship is a small team of coffee lovers, organizers, creatives, and volunteers who believe this event should be about more than finding the next champion. From planning and design to brewing, logistics, and welcoming competitors from across China, we’re working together to make something worth remembering.

“Fast is slow. Chill is flow.”

Duide Coffee Lab became the starting point of my professional journey after graduation. Over the past year, I’ve learned and grown so much here.

Coffee used to be just part of my daily routine, but discovering specialty coffee has completely changed how I see it. It’s also inspired me to explore visual communication from new perspectives and continuously improve my skills as a designer.

My philosophy is simple: Keep improving yourself, and use what you learn to help others.

Working at Outman is my first job after graduating from university, and it’s also my first experience working in design for a coffee company. Even though I haven’t been here long, I’ve already felt how positive and welcoming the team is. The work keeps me busy, and I’m learning something new every day. It’s been a fun and rewarding experience, even when things get a little challenging!
