2021 World AeroPress Championship - 3rd Place
This is the 2021 World AeroPress Championship 3rd place, recipe by Brandon Smith of South Africa.
A couple of interesting facts about Brandon's WAC experience, via Brandon's instagram:
1. This is my first time ever competing in any coffee competition so I'm stoked to be placed 3rd in the world 🥉🌍
2. Due to delays with shipping and customs in South Africa, I only received the coffee after the championship was already over 🤯 This means I had to use a different coffee to craft a recipe and hope for the best, I'd say that 3rd in the world is not bad at all!
