WORLD COFFEE EVENTS AWARD CUP TASTERS, BREWERS CUP, AND CEZVE/IBRIK INTERNATIONAL TITLES
The Specialty Coffee Association of Europe's World of Coffee event in Vienna, Austria, famously played host to the globe's premiere coffee competition, the World Barista Championship (WBC), when it took place June 13–15. But the WBC wasn't the only show in town, er, at the Messe Wein
Congress Center. Though the WBC is the biggest of the coffee contests under the umbrella of the World Coffee Events (WCE) organization, the World Cup Taster's, the World Brewer's Cup, and the World Cezve/Ibrik Championships also took place on their own separate stages during the World Coffee Events, each naming a new champion in the category.
