The Barista League Information

Produced for baristas, by baristas, The Barista League is not your standard coffee competition. Established in 2015 by Steven Moloney, The Barista League was created as a response to a need for more community-driven events in the coffee industry. In being both relevant and accessible to actual working baristas, The Barista League has grown from a grassroots competition in the outskirts of a small Swedish city to notoriety as one of the biggest contenders in the international coffee competition scene. Unlike traditional barista competitions, there are no entry fees or perplexing rulebooks – it’s all about teams of two having fun and making coffee in three fast-paced multidisciplinary rounds. The event, which in 2023 takes place in twelve cities across four continents, intends to be valuable to everyone in the coffee industry, from brand-new baristas to world champions, and is growing in both size and stature by the day.
