Please tell us a little about yourself:

I’m Nizam, a coffee roaster based in Dubai, working with The Espresso Lab. I got into coffee a few years ago and quickly fell in love with roasting. I started competing to challenge myself and keep improving.

Fun fact: I enjoy the technical side of roasting and I’m also into gym and powerlifting.

What are you excited to do while you visit Brussels?

I’m excited to explore the local coffee scene, meet people from the industry, and enjoy the city

What are your interests outside of coffee?

Gym, powerlifting, music (especially Japanese city pop), and traveling.

Is there anyone you would like to thank or recognize, or who helped you to prepare for the WCC?

First of all, I’m grateful to God and thankful for my family’s constant support. Big thanks to my team at The Espresso Lab, and everyone who has supported me along the way
