We have events planned for you on September 19, 20, and 21st.

Ensure that your host books your travel so that you are in Lisbon, well rested, and feeling fresh for midday Thursday, September 19th.

Not every person entering Portugal needs a visa, but every country requirements are different. Make sure to read the following carefully. You don't want to be turned away at the border before your big day.

CAN I ENTER PORTUGAL?

Read about eligibility to entering Portugal here.

REQUEST A VISA SUPPORT LETTER FROM WAC

Please note, while we’ll help where we can, we have no influence over the granting of visas.

If you like to travel light, all you really need to bring is an AeroPress, your shiny new Comandante and a dream.

Make sure that you bring your Comandante C40 that you won in your national championship, as Comandantes are the only grinder allowed for use in Competition.

That said, some extra items that you might want to consider bringing with you are brewing pitchers/carafes, thermometers, stirrers, fines sieves, other tools and a bunch of friends to cheer you on.

Oh and if you do want to bring your own electronics, please make sure that they are able to run on Portuguese power (230V). In Portugal, the power plugs and sockets are of type F. The standard voltage is 230 V, and the standard frequency is 50 Hz per second.

This is really important! We are not sending out practice coffee before the competition.

In previous years, around 30% of the practice coffee never arrives to competitors. To make it fair for everyone, all competitors will receive their practice coffee one day before the World Final during the coffee presentation.

No exceptions, sorry.

This year's coffee will be sourced by Cafe Imports and roasted by none other than NOMAD Coffee.

Comandante is the official grinder sponsor of the 2024 World AeroPress Championship.

Bring the custom WAC x Comandante C40 you received after winning your national championship, or you can bring any Comandante model if you have a lucky one sitting on your brew bar.

When packing your bags, please ensure:

Your equipment is safe and in good working order. Unsafe equipment will be disallowed.

Please know that all equipment is brought at your own risk. We cannot accept any responsibility for lost, stolen, or damaged equipment.

Regardless of the rules that applied during your national competition, below are the official rules for the 2024 World AeroPress Championship:

The World AeroPress Championship exists to bring coffee-loving people together in an open, inclusive, and fun environment. By taking part, you agree to uphold this mission and adhere to our Code of Conduct.

━━━━

We believe that everyone involved has a right to feel welcomed and valued in our community, regardless of gender, religion, race, age, ethnicity, appearance or sexual orientation.

Behaviour, whether intentional or not, that causes other participants to feel uncomfortable, harassed, or victimised will not be tolerated by the organizers.

We expect that members of the W.A.C community be genuinely considerate of others at all times, without exception. Failure to meet this expectation may result in expulsion from an event, without notice or refund.

If you are made to feel uncomfortable, or experience it happening to someone else, please notify a volunteer or organizing staff immediately.
