updated June 4th, 2014

Baristas have 15 minutes to make 4 espresso, 4 cappuccino and 4 signature drinks. They must  also give a presentation to judges while preparing drinks and keep their station immaculately clean.  

Baristas will be evaluated on many factors including taste, technique, professionalism, knowledge of coffee and passion.

There are four regions: Western, Prairies, Central, and Eastern.

Top four finishers from each region qualify for the National Championships. If any of the top four finishers from a region cannot make it to Nationals, the 5th and 6th place finishers from that region will fill open spots in the priority of their finish.
The Canadian Champion will compete at the upcoming World Barista Championship. Please visit http://www.worldbaristachampionship.org/
