Perhaps in part inspired by the success of the World AeroPress Championships, the Brewers Cup was held as an official championship. There was a certain overlap, and the World AeroPress Championship temporarily ceded ground. The Championship was eventually held in London at a coffee industry trade show booth, and the interest had grown to the point where it became necessary to limit the number of contestants. Of the 24 entrants, Marie Hagemeister of Cafe Europe in Denmark was crowned as victorious.
