We would like to offer more details about the semi-final round of this year’s World Barista Championship, in which the competitor from Ireland, Ian Kissick, was not initially announced as a semi-finalist.

Following a comprehensive review by scorekeepers, staff, judge operation leads, and the Competition Strategic Committee, it was determined that Ian’s Round One scores put him in the Top 15 and qualified him for the Semi-Finals.
