The AeroPress New Zealand Brewers Cup is the national competition that leads to the World Brewers Cup. The World Brewers Cup competition highlights the craft of filter coffee brewing by hand, promoting manual coffee brewing and service excellence.
This will be the first time that the NZSCA has held this exciting World Coffee Events competition at the national level.
In this Championship, competitors prepare and serve three individual beverages for a panel of judges. The Championship consists of two rounds: a first round and a finals round. During the first round competitors complete two coffee services – a compulsory service and an open service. For the compulsory service, competitors prepare three beverages utilizing whole bean coffee provided to them by the competition. For the open service, competitors may utilize any whole bean coffee of their choosing and must also accompany their beverage preparation with a presentation.
The competitor with the highest score will be named the AeroPress NZ Brewers Cup Champion.
