  „In the final competition, baristas were all given five minutes to prepare drinks on the supplied Brasilia equipment with their own secret blends of espresso brought from home. Then they had to produce 4 espressos, 4 cappuccinos and 4 servings of their special signature drink in 15 minutes only. Points were given in the following categories: technical skills, beverage appearance, taste/flavor and personal appearance. Baristas were rated on a scale from 1-10 for each individual drink by each judge.“
