There has been a fantastic response to the World Aeropress Championships, and we have now reached the limit of 24 competitors. So that the competitors can start preparing, we have decided to send them some of the Amor de Dios, the coffee being used for the competition. Could all the competitors please email me with address details.

The judges for the competition will be :

Tim Wendelboe (Head Judge)
Charles Nystrand, all the way from Koppi, Sweden
Ingri M. Johnsen, from the Kaffa Kids

As there are 24 competitors, there will be 8 heats of 3 competitors, leaving 8 semi finalists. The heats will be randomly selected. Then 2 semi finals with 4 competitors in each semi final – the best 2 cups from each heat will go through to the finals. 4 competitors will then tough it out for the ‘Bronze Piston’ and showcase their ‘Signature Press’.

Notes on the Amor de Dios from Bolivia are available here.

More WAC details, including rules are available here.
