Barista Speed Challenge

The Barista Speed Challenge presents a fun opportunity for coffee professionals to demonstrate their exceptional skill and unwavering composure in a high-pressure environment. This competition replicates the demanding workflow encountered within thriving specialty coffee shops.

Experience the dynamic nature of real-world service as baristas will go head to head in crafting a variety of beverages generated through a simulated point-of-sale system (POS) in a randomised sequence.

While speed is a crucial factor, the challenge emphasises on accuracy, and adherence to established protocols. Each beverage made will be meticulously evaluated according to strict compliance with recipe specification and presentation standards.

If you are up to the challenge, register now and demonstrate your mastery to esteemed judges and fellow coffee professionals.
