The inaugural\u00a0Nuova Simonelli Technicians Competition<\/strong>\u00a0took place in Dubai on April 29. This event was established to recognise the skills and strategic importance of the technicians who ensure the quality and excellent performance of espresso machines and grinders every day.<\/p>\n

It was an intense day filled with real-world challenges on the\u00a0<\/strong>, rigorous evaluations by the judges, and considerable enthusiasm from the participants. Ultimately, John Paul Alcantara emerged victorious, distinguishing himself through his speed, precision and problem-solving abilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cI decided to participate to test myself,\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0stated John Paul Alcantara.\u00a0\u201cOur work is often solitary, but competitions like this allow us to feel part of a community. It was stimulating to come face-to-face with other professionals, push my boundaries, and share my passion for this trade.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

With over 10 years of experience in the industry, it was a chance for him to send a message to younger colleagues:\u00a0\u201cBe curious and keep up to date. Coffee machines are constantly evolving, and to deliver quality in the cup, we must evolve too.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

He further added how much he appreciates working with Nuova Simonelli machines:\u00a0\u201cThey are intuitive and straightforward to maintain. This makes a real difference in our daily work.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0Finally, he offered an invitation:\u00a0\u201cI encourage all my colleagues around the world to participate in this type of competition. It\u2019s a tangible way to recognise the value of our role.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":6977,"id":6977,"title":"DSC01157","filename":"DSC01157-scaled-1.jpg","filesize":1264561,"url":"https:\/\/nuovasimonelli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/05\/DSC01157-scaled-1.jpg","link":"https:\/\/nuovasimonelli.com\/en\/dsc01157\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"dsc01157","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":0,"date":"2025-05-09 15:41:57","modified":"2025-06-25 12:43:18","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/nuovasimonelli.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1706,"height":2560,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/nuovasimonelli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/05\/DSC01157-scaled-1-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/nuovasimonelli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/05\/DSC01157-scaled-1-200x300.jpg","medium-width":200,"medium-height":300,"medium_large":"https:\/\/nuovasimonelli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/05\/DSC01157-scaled-1-768x1152.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":1152,"large":"https:\/\/nuovasimonelli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/05\/DSC01157-scaled-1-682x1024.jpg","large-width":682,"large-height":1024,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/nuovasimonelli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/05\/DSC01157-scaled-1-1024x1536.jpg","1536x1536-width":1024,"1536x1536-height":1536,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/nuovasimonelli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/05\/DSC01157-scaled-1-1365x2048.jpg","2048x2048-width":1365,"2048x2048-height":2048}}]},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","description":"
