In short, they are a little like the Iron Chef meets espresso making – a timed competition in which the competing barista is judged, technically and in terms of the senses, on 4 shots of espresso, 4 cappuccinos and 4 signature drinks. At this point, the competition season is in full swing with the winner of the WRBC going on to compete at the U.S Barista Championship in Minnesota in May and the winner of that competition moving on to the World Barista Championship in Copenhagen later in June. You can read more about this phenomenon on the WRBC website. There’s also a good description on The Shot and some links to videos of the top 2007 WBC competitors on ZacharyZachary organized here.

Agree that part of the untold story is the explosive growth in Calgary. If you look back at 2007 in Toronto, of the 8 finalists, 6 were from BC and none from Alberta. So yes Calgary has a lot to be proud of. But there are other untold stories. What would have happened if Colter Jones and Mike Yung both competed? Should Laura Perry have made the final? What if Luke Spicer and Jordan Mayall didn't drop out at the last minute? I visited your blog and read your commentary of yesterday's first round. I was online for several comps, and apart from the poor video feed and audio quality, the moderators (both in the room and online) could have done a lot more to explain to and educate the home barista and coffee consumer. Some of the banter may have been ok between baristi who know each other, but it does very little to spread the knowledge and get people interested and excited. And the great story of Calgary should have been told. Maybe a summary on Coffeegeek is in order with some nice photos? John, thanks for your insight (I moved your reply to the correct post).

The growth of the third-wave scene in Calgary–with four new third-wave shops opening in 2008 alone–has outpaced every city in the country. Bear in mind that Calgary is not even one-third the size of (greater) Montreal– never mind Toronto.
