The World Brewers Cup is a manual coffee brewing competition. It aims to promote excellence in manual brewing and to highlight the diversity of coffee flavours and brewing techniques.
- The competition focuses on pour-over, immersion, and batch brewing methods.
- Competitors are judged on the taste, aroma, and balance of their brewed coffee, as well as their technical skills and presentation.
- The competition consists of three rounds: preliminary, semi-finals, and finals.
- Judges evaluate the coffee using the SCA’s Cupping Form
