Great Lakes Regional Barista Competition

Alterra Coffee is proud to be hosting this year’s Great Lakes Regional Barista Competition right here in Milwaukee! The competition will take place March 13th through the 16th at the P.H. Dye Building in Milwaukee¹s historic Third Ward and we hope that you will join us. We look forward to welcoming fellow baristas from Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio to compete in this world-class event.

What exactly does a barista competition entail? Fifteen minutes, four cappuccinos, four shots of espresso, and four signature drinks prepared in front of a panel of judges. A strong focus is placed on presentation, cleanliness, professionalism, and of course, the quality of the drinks prepared. Come on down to Milwaukee’s Third Ward this month and check out the hottest baristas in the area! The event is free and open to the public.
