Donuts International Barista Competition, proudly sponsored by Monin and powered by myBidfood. This exciting event brought together five skilled baristas, each eager to showcase their talents and vie for the chance to represent Bahrain in the international finals in the United Arab Emirates.
The competition was structured into three engaging rounds, each designed to test different aspects of barista expertise. In the first round, participants prepared lattes with intricate latte art, demonstrating their technical skills and artistic flair. The second round required them to create two identical latte arts using a single batch of foamed milk, emphasizing precision and consistency.
The final round was the highlight of the event, featuring an innovation challenge with Monin syrups. Baristas had the opportunity to craft unique and creative beverages using a selection of syrups, including Grenadine, Rose, Gingerbread, Cinnamon, Blue Lagoon, and Cinnamon Roll. This round was a celebration of imagination and originality, allowing competitors to experiment with flavors and create standout drinks.
The winner of the competition will represent Bahrain at the international finals in the UAE, marking a significant achievement in their barista career. The event not only highlighted the exceptional talent within Bahrain's coffee community but also underscored the vibrant and evolving coffee culture in the region. Congratulations to all participants for their impressive performances and creativity!
