Baristas in the competition have just 12 minutes to make four espressos, four milk coffees and four latte art coffees. They are judged by coffee industry experts, on the criteria of beverage presentation, barista technique, personal presentation, service to judges and most importantly flavour.
The four Australian heats held in August determined who competed in the grand final of the Danes Grand Barista Championship on Saturday August 15th at Manly Yacht Club. The winners of the Australian heats competed against the top baristas from Thailand, Hong Kong and Korea.
The prize pool for this competition makes this the richest barista competition in Australia. The winner received, courtesy of our main sponsor Orchestrale, a one group commercial Orchestrale Etnica, an elegant, Italian-built masterpiece machine soon to be available in Australia, and a trip to Milan valued at over $8,700 to appear on the Orchestrale stand at the Host International Exhibition. The total prize pool was valued over $12,000.
