Western Canadian Regional Barista Championships

@


The 2012 Western Canadian Regional Barista Championships are being held this year for the first time at EAT! Vancouver. The final winner will be invited to represent the Canadian Western Region in the National Barista Championships in Toronto.

There will be public tastings of the creations of the various baristas throughout the entire weekend.


2012 Western Canadian Regional Barista Championships

Catch the action as some of the country’s best baristas demonstrate the art of making the perfect espresso drinks and compete for one of four Canadian Regional Barista Championship titles. The Western Regionals will take place in Vancouver at Canada's largest consumer food show: EAT! Vancouver Food + Cooking Festival at BC Place Stadium.

Each competitor must prepare and serve 12 separate espresso beverages: 4 espresso, 4 cappuccinos, and 4 "signature" drinks of their own creation. Competitors have only fifteen minutes to prepare all twelve drinks and are judged on various elements including station cleanliness, taste, beverage presentation, technical skills and total impression by a distinguished panel of judges.

The top competitors from each regional will compete at the Canadian National Barista Championship at the Coffee & Tea Show in Toronto. The eventual winner of the national championship will represent Canada at the World Barista Championship in 2013. All the competitors will receive some great prizes for participating as well as valuable experience.
