History of Coffee Common sense International Barista (barista) Competition

In 2000, a group of dedicated people gathered in Monte Carlo to present the first competition of WBC (World Barista Competition). Their vision creates a competition platform for the best baristas from all over the world. Twelve contestants from different countries took part in the final, and Norway's ROBERT THORESEN won the championship.

The event moved to Miami, a hot and humid beach city in Florida, in 2001, and the championship was once again won by 17 baristas representing their respective countries from the Northern Hemisphere-MARTIN HILDEBRANDTD from Denmark took the crown.

At the third WBC, we returned to Europe-in Oslo, Denmark. The winners from all over the world took part in the championship battle. After a fierce competition among 24 contestants, the winner was still the Scandinavian-host FRITZ STORM, who won the title shockingly in his hometown.

Boston, USA in 2003. WBC had already won an unprecedented reputation, the event was broadcast to more than 20 million Americans on morning television channels in the United States (not including television viewers in other parts of the world), and the championship was first produced outside Scandinavia-PAUL BASSETT from Australia overwhelmingly and undisputed took the title from the 28-player showdown.

For the fifth WBC tournament, we came to Tiriaster, the hometown of Italian coffee and high-quality ESPRESSO. The record-breaking competition of 34 contestants was accompanied by an alternative competition for the first time-like the contestants, the referee had to compete for their place. TIM WENDELBOE of Norway proudly won the trophy in front of hundreds of people.

In 2005, the host of WBC was the birthplace of Seattle-America's ESPRESSO COFFEE. World-class contestants from 35 countries send coffee to offer their perfect and professional ESPRESSO coffee experience feast. The king is Scandinavian again. Denmark won the championship for the third time-TROELS OVERDALL PAULSON conquered the capital of the American coffee empire.

The beautiful city of Bern in Switzerland hosted the 7th WBC final. 39 countries have selected unprecedented champions to compete for the prestigious WBC championship. When KLAUS THOMSEN of Denmark finally won the WBC final in 2006, the audience cheered and cheered at the record number of spectators. His fascinating performance stems from his near-religious belief that gourmet coffee can exist in 2006, and the philosophy behind his statement about coffee-coffee is like a symphony, where all the "performers" and everyone in the coffee chain (melody) have to work together for this common goal of "offering a perfect ESPRESSO". His signature coffee is called "Symphony"-a three-tier coffee drink made up of ESPRESSO,PANNA COTTA and coffee foam. KLAUS is the fourth Danish champion produced in the past seven WBC finals.
