Up to 30 baristas and 33 professional judges will participate in the competition with a vision to discover the best barista to represent our nation to compete on the world stage in World Coffee Events 2023.

“As the national trade association championing specialty coffee, MSCA is very excited to be a part of this event - International Café & Beverage Show (ICBS) - as a strategic partner.
