According to the latest news, the new movie Coffee Wars will be released on iTunes, Prime Video and Google play on March 7.

Unlike previous coffee films, the film began filming in early 2022 in the hope that people would learn more about the vegetarian market and feel unfair about the WBC rule that plant milk is not allowed to participate in the competition.

The film tells the story of a group of vegetarian enthusiasts Joe opened a coffee shop that only serves plant milk and vegetarian food, although Joe's coffee making skills are very good, but many customers find that when they only choose vegetarian / plant milk, they are retreating, so Joe's business is very poor, the business situation is in jeopardy, and he is still heavily in debt.

For everyone who ignored the talents of many baristas because of their vegetarian diet, Joe also made up his mind to let everyone know more about vegetarianism by participating in the WBC competition. I also hope that you can not miss more excellent baristas because of plant milk.

So Joe led his vegetarian team all the way to the WBC final. For this, many people think that vegetable milk cannot be recognized by the judges in front of milk.

But Joe still did not give up, because finally had the opportunity to prove in the animal milk competition that the use of plant milk can also have extraordinary performance, vegetarian baristas also deserve everyone's attention and attention.

The film hopes that people will pay more attention to the vegetarian market and protest against the unfair rejection of vegetable milk in the World Coffee Competition (WBC) for many years.

Perhaps they did not expect that in December 2022, the Fine Coffee Association (SCA) issued the latest rules and regulations of the 2023 World baristas Championship (WBC), allowing plant milk to compete with other animal milk.

SCA made this decision because in recent years, some industry stakeholders and competitors have criticized this kind of competition, which has great credibility in the boutique coffee industry and can lead the development of the boutique coffee industry market, which lacks inclusiveness, accessibility and fairness. In the end, in view of the increasing pressure, SCA allowed plant milk to participate in the following competition.

Before SCA announced that it would allow the use of plant milk, baristas from different countries had already lost their qualification by insisting on using plant milk in regional trials.

Many coffee traders said that these competitions were originally intended to be fair and impartial and were the leaders in the boutique coffee industry. As a result, baristas are directly disqualified because they do not drink milk, which will miss out on many excellent coffee players with more potential.

SCA has not allowed plant milk and other animal milk to participate in WBC because it is a great challenge to the sensory judgment of the judges. The new rules mean that contestants can use any type of commercially available plant milk, including oats, soybeans, almonds, coconuts and even plant milk mixtures.

Each has its own unique effect on the flavor and texture of the beverage, so the evaluation and grading of milk drinks may become more complex, and new rules are needed for grading.

But making a rule that can compete fairly with milk is not an easy task and takes a lot of time and manpower, so SCA has not spoken on the use of plant milk for so many years.

But over the years, the milk used by contestants is no longer pure milk, such as 2022 WBC champion Anthony Douglas (Anthony Douglas) used frozen purified milk to enhance the sweetness of coffee.

By using the technology of freezing and vacuum dehydration of milk, the milk powder with a purity of 900% was extracted and mixed with milk at 1:10 to double the sugar, fat and protein in the milk. Heat the milk to 55 degrees Celsius to stimulate the high sweetness.

For coffee made from such milk, judges can also use the scoring criteria of Milk Coffee, which further makes supporters of plant milk question the concerns of SCA and further urge SCA to allow plant milk to participate in the competition.

For Joe's performance in the movie, as well as the 2023 WBC tournament, the code clerk is looking forward to it!
