The Equal Barista Cup has been designed to challenge baristas under the pressure of a fast paced cafe environment. Within a 10 minute time limit baristas must produce 12 beverages. This is not a technically judged event. The judging is purely from the eyes of a customer. Judging is based on taste and artistry. Only drinks served to the judges within the timeframe will be judged.The Equal Barista Cup is designed to reproduce the pressure of what happens in great espresso bars around the world.
Under time pressure, baristas must produce:
4 x Piccolo Latte’s
4 x Regular Caffè Latte’s
4 x Designer Lattes
The three things which matter to espresso coffee customers around the world are:
1.Great Taste
2.Great Artistry
3.Great Speed
With the support of the Australian Culinary Federation the Equal Barista Cup will consist of two competitions.
