THE BARISTA LEAGUE:
ATLANTA | 3 SEP
NOT YOUR STANDARD BARISTA COMPETITION
Built by baristas, for baristas, The Barista League is a competition where teams are judged on how well they deliver a full coffee experience, not just a single drink.
Around the competition, the venue turns into a packed, high-energy room, part coffee festival, part industry party.
Watch up close as our champions define the next big thing in coffee, mingle with people you normally only see on Instagram or just have some drinks with your coffee friends.
WHAT HAPPENS
AT TBL
-
A competition that rewards all the elements of an incredible coffee experience and doesnt need an operating manual to understand.
The Barista League is built on three pillars of Concept, Service and Product and watches more like Masterchef than technical demonstration.
See 6 of the most ambitious barista teams present the future of coffee experiences in front of 5 world famous judges.
-
We think it’s a huge waste when the only people who get to taste the amazing coffee from competitions are the 6 judges on stage.
At the Barista League Cafe you will get a chance to taste the exact coffee from the competition brewed by the people who sourced and roasted it.
-
Access coffee that you normally have to travel for. We have invited a bunch of our favourite coffee roasters from around the world to come and brew coffee for you.
-
The good bits of a trade show, without the stiff vibes. We bring some of the world’s leading companies into the the room so you can meet and interact with the people behind your favourite coffee brands.
You will get to demo the latest equipment technology, test your sensory and barista skills, challenge your friends in games and maybe even win some stuff.
-
If you’re going to drink the amount of coffee we know you will want to when you see who’s coming - you are gonna need some good food and drink to balance that caffeine out.
We will have alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks as well as tasty food so you can ride the caffeine rollercoaster all night long or just have a drink and rant about the intricacies of barista competition scoresheets…
