A playful brew battle focused purely on the cup — brewing skill, consistency, and creativity. The format is fast, fair, and exciting: no presentations or speeches, you simply brew on a SOLO brewer and serve. Judges evaluate the coffee in silence and submit their ranking live by SOLO poker cards.
Up to 40 players, four rounds, each with a different coffee. Bags are on stage, fully labelled — no training time with the coffee, so skill and quick decisions count, with equal opportunity even for last-minute entries.
Just show up: we provide everything you need, including the SOLO brewer, the coffee, and the water. Full details in the rules; registration is below.
