The final round will have six contestants compete individually and score points. The contestant with the highest score will win the contest.

According to the organisers, one first prize, one second prize, and one third prize will be awarded to excellent contestants.

The competition aims to discover, honour, and promote outstanding talents in coffee brewing, motivating baristas to constantly practice, improve their skills and creativity, and enhance the role of baristas to create premium coffee to meet the increasing needs of consumers.

In addition, it also helps to promote and develop the country’s specialty coffee industry and Vietnamese coffee culture, contributing to increasing domestic consumption and the value of Vietnamese coffee globally.
