In the World Cup Tasters Championship (WCTC), Technivorm provides Brewing Equipment for each round, with water filtration supplied by Brita, and cleaning by Cafetto.
Champions of both the WBrC and WCTC will have the unique opportunity to join Ally Coffee on the Official 2017 Origin Trip, taking in three new regions across Brazil this year.
Last year the Cezve/Ibrik Championship (CIC) was produced by the Specialty Coffee Association of Europe in Dubai, and this year it returns to World of Coffee, brought to you by Title Sponsor Loumidis.
As a product of the unification into the Specialty Coffee Association, the World Coffee Events team has been able to work in partnership with European staff to produce this year’s event, using the WCE infrastructure to share the event with the world.
