The TUCO Barista Skills Challenge has developed to be an exciting part of the Competition's event. It's the perfect platform for you to showcase your skills, knowledge and talent in making the perfect cup of coffee.
You will compete in a live 15-minute competition and produce; four espressos, four cappuccinos and finally four espresso-based, non-alcoholic specialty drinks.
Whilst creating these drinks you will give live commentary to the judges and audience to explain your work and demonstrate your knowledge.
Each competitor is allocated these three preparation and competition periods:
- 15-minute practice (this is off stage and not filmed or judged)
- 15-minute setup on stage
- 15-minute live competition
As this is a live competition there will be spectators and you will be filmed with your work being shown on the main screens.
Our judges will offer written feedback to all entrants.
