    What's it all about?
    –––

    Designed to entice budding bar tenders as well as baristas, this is the only competition where contestants can use alcohol. Each competitor has 8 minutes to set up their work area and then 8 minutes to prepare 2 perfect Irish Coffees and two of their own signature hot or cold coffee cocktail.

    Contestants are judged on their technical skills, the visual appeal of the drinks and, most importantly, on the flavour.
