Competitors for the WBC must pass through regional and national competitions to get to the world level.

Only one competitor from each country with a sanctioned competition can enter the WBC.

Each year the bar gets set higher and higher as we see competitors who have trained and practiced meticulously to get to the World Barista Championship.  Competitors go through the process of planning every element of their presentation.  They pick the coffee they want to serve, the cups and decorations, and even the music to set the ambiance for their performance.

The competition stage is fierce and calculated but the barista’s bring their poise and passion, and deliver a great show!
