This is an informational post for people looking for information about the WA Barista Competition for this year.
The event is scheduled to be held on the 7th and 8th of November, at the Mt Hawthorn Community Hall, on Scarborough Beach Rd in Mt Hawthorn.
Over the course of the weekend we will be running the local W.A heats of the Australian Barista Competition, the Latte Art Competition, and the Cup Tasting Competition.
Entry for the competition is done online via the newly launched AASCA (Australasian Speciality Coffee Association) website. Links to all the categories being run on the day are below:
Entry for Australian Barista Championship WA State Heat
Entry for Latte Art Championships WA State Heat
Entry for Cup Tasting Championship WA State Heat
The links above will take you to the AASCA site where you can either use your existing AASCA membership number to enter the competition, or else sign up for a new AASCA membership at the same time as you register. The website also handles online processing of competition payments.
More information in regards to the event will be released, including barista jams and information nights, will be released as they come to hand, but for now if you are interested in competing (and if you’re a passionate W.A barista then you should be), please head across to the AASCA site and get your entry in, then get practicing !
Hey Matt
Ang from Epic here. I’ll probably sit out of the Barista comp so let me know if you need any help on the judging side of things.

Barista Competitions are always so much fun. If I were going to be in the area for the event I would be very interested.
