Starbucks has recognized baristas and their beverage artistry through Barista Championships in Europe and across the China Asia Pacific region for the past few years. In 2015, for the first time, Starbucks did the same in America, introducing the U.S. Barista Championships.

During this final round event, contestants will compete in Barista Craft, Signature Beverage, and Personal Coffee Tasting categories to showcase their latte art skills, create their own signature beverage, using ingredients that currently exist in Starbucks stores, and provided a coffee tasting of their choosing.
