Grassroots talent, judged at the world's standard.
Since 2017, MOCC has been Barista Guild Asia's platform for nurturing baristas across the Asia Pacific region — an inclusive stage for grassroots-level competitors to compete, learn and grow.
The championship categories
Each category gives a different discipline its own spotlight — from manual brewing to showmanship behind the espresso machine.
Malaysia Open Brewers Cup
A launching pad for manual brewing enthusiasts at grassroots level — celebrating raw passion and budding talent in manual coffee brewing technique.
Malaysia Open Latte Art Championship
A canvas for creativity and skill development, where baristas express artistic ability and transform coffee into masterpieces through latte art.
Malaysia Open Barista Championship
The flagship segment — espresso, milk-based beverages and service excellence, celebrating technical skill combined with artistry and professionalism.
Five editions, one community.
MOCC was temporarily suspended during COVID-19 and successfully resumed in 2024 for its fourth edition — built and run by the Barista Guild Asia team, for the grassroots coffee community across the region.
Hosted at ICBS 2026
