Catch the action as some of the country’s best baristas demonstrate the art of making the perfect espresso drinks and compete for one of three Regional Barista Championship titles. The 2010 competitions begin in July at the Western Regional’s in Vancouver at The Roundhouse Centre followed by the Eastern Regional Barista Championship at downtown Toronto’s historic St. Lawrence Market Hall. In August, the Prairies Regional Barista Championship takes place at Fratello Coffee Roasters in Calgary. Then the finalists will head to the Nat 6-27, 2010.
Each competitor must prepare and serve 12 separate espresso beverages: 4 espresso, 4 cappuccinos, and 4 "signature" drinks of their own creation. Competitors have only fifteen minutes to prepare all twelve drinks and are judged on various elements including station cleanliness, taste, beverage presentation, technical skills and total impression by a distinguished panel of judges. The eventual winner of the Canadian National Championship will represent Canadian at the World Barista Championship in 2011. All the competitors will receive some great prizes for participating as well as valuable experience.
The events are open to the public with admission a suggested donation to a coffee charity, helping families build a better life in coffee growing countries. The general daily competition schedule for each regional is from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. unless otherwise indicated.
