The Specialty Coffee Association has announced rules updates for the four 2021 World Coffee Championship events currently scheduled to take place in conjunction with the SCA’s World of Coffee event next June in Athens, Greece.
Many of the updates have been designed to promote social distancing and reduced face-to-face interactions through revised stage sets, changes to head judging protocols, and an increase in the use of online meetings for orientations and reviews.
Some of the rules changes will be revisited following this competition season, while others will remain indefinitely. Here are summaries of changes to the following 2021 World Coffee Championships: Cezve/Ibrik, Barista, Brewers Cup, Cup Tasters.
