THE COMPETITION

The Barista League is a barista competition - just not like one you’ve ever seen before. Teams of two compete in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary competition based on the real world skills a great barista has mastered.  In the Drinks Challenge, teams have 15min to make a series of coffee drinks for our VIP judges while also having to serve two mystery customers at the same time. In our sensory challenge, teams put their taste buds to the test to see if they can identify flavours from mystery infusions.

You don’t need to train or bring any equipment with you - just a partner. The competition is totally free and created for all coffee people - from brand-new baristas to world champions. If you’re down to have some fun while making coffee, The Barista League is for you!
Applications have now closed for this event.

WHAT DO YOU WIN?

Win The Barista League and you win the grand prize of an all-expenses paid coffee vacation to a mystery coffee-producing location, along with all other champions of The Barista League in 2024.
