In the 2026 and 2027 World Barista Championships, competitors will be able to choose between two flagship grinders to support their routines – the Ceado REV Zero, and the Ceado E37Z-Naked.
The REV Zero is a professional on-demand grinder developed to eliminate retention between shots through its reverse grinding technology, and features 83 mm flat burrs made of K110 steel, with Red Speed coasting and the patented Sweep-Out system.
The E37Z-Naked, on the other hand, is Ceado’s single-dose grinder designed for control and flexibility. It features 83 mm flat burrs with DLC coating and a different grinding geometry developed for flavour profiling and experimentation, while being equipped with Steady Lock Grinder technology to maintain burr alignment.
Ceado says this dual-grinder approach reflects the brand’s belief that there is no single correct way to extract coffee at the highest level. Instead, they want to empower competitors with tools that enable them to design, refine, and express their own aromatic vision.
CEO Michele Gerardi says Ceado’s support of the World Barista Championships is a natural extension of its ‘Designing Flavour’ philosophy.
“The best way to honour that journey is to provide the highest-performing equipment and to educate on how to use it, so that baristas can truly design, express, and elevate the aromatic profile of this unique raw material,” says Gerardi.
“We are proud to support the WBC with our REV Zero and E37Z-Naked grinders and to contribute to a community that celebrates precision craft and respect for coffee.”
Across the 2026–2027 competition cycle Ceado’s grinders will serve as standardised equipment ensuring consistency and fairness for all competitors.
