BAC 7: Belgian Aeropress Championship 2018

    Posted by Robrecht Berghmans on June 27, 2018

    Very proud to announce a 7th consecutive national Aeropress championship at Caffenation. This way we are the longest active organizer on earth. :-)

    Friday evening 14 September 2018: Qualifications 

    Friday evening 21 September 2018: Finals 

    (note: If we don't have more then 27 participants we stick to just 1 evening: 21 September)

    Hours, coffee, poster and judges will be announced later on the summer when subscriptions open. 

    For sure the winner wins a trip to the WAC in Sydney Australia in November 2018. 

    Here already the updated rules:

    Also on the WAC website.

    RULES

    3. Ground coffee and water are the only ingredients allowed.

    5. Competitors are welcome to bring their own grinder, kettle, scales, water, or other equipment.
    6. If the Hosts have specified a competition coffee, this is the only coffee that may be used.

    8. Coffees not presented within the time limit of 8 minutes will not be evaluated.
    9. Failure to comply with any of the above will result in disqualification.
