The 2021 Canadian AeroPress championship was held in September. With the AeroPress competition, all participants use the same coffee (for Canada it was Shoondhisa, an Ethiopian coffee from Rabbit Hole Roasters). Usually, they would participate live and make the recipe themselves, but with COVID this year in Canada they did it virtually. The participants submitted detailed recipes and then were available via live stream to answer questions about it. The winner of the competition was Pedro Furtado. Below is his winning AeroPress.
