…who knew?…
I had no idea such a thing existed. It actually turns out there are a few of them - annually.

I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised, after all coffee rocks! And a well made coffee is most definitely an art appreciated by coffee-lovers.

There is nothing as disappointing as getting a poorly made coffee drink, after looking forward to enjoying at least a decent cup.

Apparently the most prestigious competition in the US is the USBC (United States Barista Championship) held every year. Judged by seven USBC-certified judges, the barista challengers have to prepare and serve 12 orders consisting of: four espressos, four cappuccinos and four original signature drinks of their own creation. All this in 15-minutes. The competition is held over four days and this year it is in Minneapolis at the beginning of May.

The USBC winner gets to move on to the WBC (World Barista Championship) held in Copenhagen this June.

What I want to know is where are all these talented baristas working when they aren’t competing?
