The Barista Competition

Organization

Practically every country has a barista competition every year.

•In 2005, Belgium finally decided to participate.

The winner of the Belgian Championship can then represent Belgium in the world competition, and compete for the title of “World's Best Barista. “

The Belgian Barista Championship is organized by the VSW, which is authorized by the SCAE to select contestants at the national level. Because of this, the VSW thoroughly subscribes to the philosophy of the SCAE (Specialty Coffee Association of Europe).

What is a barista?

A barista is someone who excels at making espresso drinks.

The barista knows how to make espresso under any and all conditions, and knows how to apply the final touch that will make the espresso attractive.

Making a perfect espresso can be considered an art.

Of course, a barista has to not only make the perfect espresso, but also make all espresso-based drinks, such as cappuccino, latte, etc.

The Championship

Many horeca industry professionals compete for the title of “Belgium's Best Barista. “

Thus, they must prove to the judges that they can make the following drinks within 15 minutes, using a traditional machine with a grinder:

• 4 espressos
• 4 cappuccinos
• 4 espresso drinks of their choice

Good luck!
