In its first incarnation, the World Aeropress Championships, held at the Tim Wendelboe coffeebar in Oslo, could only charitably be described as an understated affair. There were just three competitors, a token prize, and cake at the end. Eight years later, with events running in thirty-five countries and a global field of competitors nearing a thousand, the World AeroPress Championship is a very different story.

FAST, FUN, AND LIGHT-HEARTED

The format of the competition was designed around these three tenets, and while it has grown larger and slightly more complex with every passing year, it still remains focused on being an engaging, quick paced and enjoyable format for competition.
