Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of a competition?
Volunteering as a judge is a great way to get an inside look at how the U.S. Barista Championship comes together, from how competitors are evaluated and scored to how each competition flows from start to finish.
Our competitions would not be possible without the time, expertise, and dedication of our judges, and we’re looking to grow our judging team for the 2027 U.S. Barista Championship season. We’re currently looking for Sensory and Technical to join our Houston and San Diego teams.
Whether you’re looking to learn more about competing, deepen your understanding of the judging process, or give back to the coffee community, we’d love to have you be part of the team.
