RULES
There are 4 participants in each heat and each participant must serve 4 judges a cup of coffee each + 1 cup to set aside.
This cup is for testing for coffee grit if the taste scores should be equal.
The judges taste all 4 cups that are put in front of them and on a signal they push the cup they like best to the center of the table.
The winner of the heat is the competitor who has got the most cups in the middle.
If the taste scores are equal between two (or all 4) participants, the fifth cup is poured through a paper filter. A technical judge then decides which filter has the least grit.
This is the winner.
There are 4 introductory rounds and 4 participants in the finals.
The competitors get 10 minutes to brew and serve their coffee. Only the cups put on the provided after the 10 minutes has passed will be judged.
No additives are allowed.
The coffee is served must be served in thin classic sized porcelain cups.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own cups and saucers. The cups must range between 1 dl and 2 dl and all cups must have matching saucers. There must be a set of 5 matching pieces.
If the participant does not have 5 sets to bring to the competition, the organisers will provide cups and saucers for use in the competition. This must be notified no later than 1 week before the competition.
For the finals the organisers will provide a different set of cups so that no one can recognise the cups the participants have used in the first rounds.
Participants can brew using their own kettle or brew on a kettle supplied by the organisers.
The competition coffee will be disclosed at a later date. Participants will receive 0.25 kg of coffee in advance so they have the opportunity to practice before the competition.
