A Big Weekend: WA Barista Championships
YES, that Weekend has just about arrived…
17 competing Baristas stepping up this Saturday and Sunday at the Mount Hawthorn Community Centre. I am sure this is a top number for any state championship this year and trust that it serves as a barometer for the interest in and dedication to Speciality Coffee across Western Australia. Good luck to everyone.
There’s also very solid entries for the Cup Tasting Championship and Latte Art Championship.

“The response to competing has been overwhelming, with 17 baristas setting themselves for the Barista title and many also in both the Cup Tasting and the Latte Art competitions.
Also look out for the new AASCA T shirts to be on sale at the event, designs put together by AASCA media partner in Bean Scene Magazine look amazing and it will be the height of summer fashion. We thank Fair Trade for their support in producing the T shirts so wear them with pride everyone !
Matt from Abstract Gourmet has been heading up the organising committee over in WA and the event promises to be fantastic, it will be held at The Town of Vincent Main Hall 197 Scarborough Beach Road (cnr The Boulevard), Mount Hawthorn from 9am on the 7th of November.
AASCA will have a coffee cart on hand to show case baristas coffees after competing and you can get up close and personal about all things barista!
Funds raised from the coffee cart will go to funding the National competition as all this stuff costs a bit so feel free to taste the great coffee and help support AASCA”
C U there.
