The World Coffee Brewing Competition is divided into two stages. The preliminary and final competitions specify two kinds of brewing and optional brewing, while in the finals, they mainly choose to brew, that is, they want to see the coffee flavor presented by each contestant through different brewing methods under the same coffee beans, while the optional brewing is made by using their own coffee beans.

World Cup Test Competition (WCTC)

The scoring part has wet aroma, flavor, aftertaste, acidity, mellow thickness, balance and overall impression, while the contestant performance part has flavor description and customer service, which is very much like a coffee service introduction show on the whole. In addition to taking good care of the flavor of coffee in hand, we should pay more attention to typhoon and expression.

World Barista Competition WBC

The rule of the World Barista Competition is that each player is required to produce 4 espresso, 4 cappuccino and 4 creative coffee based on Italian concentrate within 15 minutes. The judges will judge the contestants from the use of equipment, the blending of coffee beans, the skills of making coffee, the taste and appearance of coffee products, and the creativity of creative coffee.

World Coffee and Wine Competition (WCIGS)
