JETINNO JL60 Continues Its Two-Year Support Of CLAC China Selection; 2027 Season Debuts in Kunshan

From September 24 to 26, 2026, the opening round of the 2027 World Latte Art Championship China Selection (CLAC) was held at Hall B of the Kunshan International Exhibition Center. Running alongside the 2026 Kunshan International Specialty Coffee Exhibition in the same venue, the event brought competition and industry showcase together, offering a broader industry perspective on the first round of the new season.

As the first round of the 2027 season, the Kunshan event marked JETINNO's second consecutive year as the designated automatic coffee machine of CLAC. The unified equipment rule remained in place, with all competitors using the JETINNO JL60.

For the competitors, it was the start of a new season. For JETINNO, it was another test of the product's professional capability.

In April this year, the Shanghai round saw a new champion crowned. In Kunshan, the first contest of the new season got underway.

01 | The New Season Opens in Kunshan

As the first national latte art competition of the 2027 season, the Kunshan round brought together baristas from across the country. Working within a set time limit and under unified rules, they competed on craft and creative expression, with places in the national final at stake.

02 | Unified Equipment, Fair Competition

The unified equipment rule continued at this event, with every competitor using the JETINNO JL60. Consistent equipment allowed competitors to focus on creativity and craft, and ensured that the competition took place under fair and stable conditions.

03 | A Comprehensive Test of Equipment Performance in Competition

In a professional coffee competition, the machine is not an auxiliary tool outside the contest. From grinding and extraction to steaming, every stage contributes directly to the finished work.

During the competition, competitors must prepare the required beverages within a set time while the machine completes grinding, extraction and milk frothing in parallel. Operating efficiency, extraction performance and steam system performance all have to work in close coordination in a real competition environment.

Real-world use on site is the most direct test of a machine's overall capability.

04 | From Espresso Base to Milk Foam: JL60 Keeps Pace with the Competition

Developed by JETINNO for commercial scenarios, the JL60 features systematic hardware design around the core stages of coffee preparation. Its dual bean hoppers and dual grinding systems allow different beans to be loaded and ground independently, meeting the varied bean requirements of competition use.

A 22g brewing unit provides ample dose capacity for espresso preparation. Independent dual boilers allow extraction and steaming to run in parallel, while a 1 L steam boiler paired with a five-hole steam wand delivers a continuous and stable steam supply for milk frothing.

05 | Behind Every Latte Art Work: Efficient Collaboration Between Barista and Machine

Once the competition begins, the collaboration between machine and barista becomes more direct. The machine reliably handles grinding, extraction and steaming, while the barista focuses on milk texturing, pouring and presentation.

For automatic coffee machines, automation does not mean replacing the barista. In professional settings, the machine takes on standardized, repetitive tasks and frees up more room for the barista. This is the core value that automatic equipment brings to professional coffee scenarios.

06 | Beyond Kunshan: The Season Continues

The Kunshan round marked the opening of the 2027 CLAC China Selection season.

For competitors, each round is a contest of skill and composure under pressure. For the equipment, every appearance on the competition floor is a real-world validation of product performance and a further accumulation of professional expertise.

JETINNO JL60 will continue to provide professional equipment support for the remaining rounds of CLAC.

The next stop is Shenzhen. Stay tuned.
