Rules 2026 · World Barista Championship
Barista Championship
The flagship competition. In fifteen minutes a barista must serve four espressos, four milk beverages and four signature drinks — while presenting the story of the coffee they chose.
What this is and what it is not
The chapter publishes a Romanian working version of the 2026 rules, written in our own words, for competitors who would rather prepare in their own language. It does not replace the original: the English text published by World Coffee Championships governs the competition and settles any dispute.
National and world events are not identical
A national championship is not an identical copy of the world event. The rulebooks themselves list what a Competition Body may adapt — and what may never be touched: the judging and evaluation rules. Each page carries a section on what differs nationally.
The rules, in Romanian
This page is written in Romanian. There is no point retelling it in English: the original is already in English, and you will find it below, at the source.
