This year’s competition is quite interesting, with some previous dominant winners (well they’ve won big on the World scene!) giving way for others to shine, especially in the Barista comp. And its barely been half a year as well since this is virtually the 2009 championship with 2008 competed earlier this year.
Congratulations to all who participated, I had a nice time there.
Great to see Zoe from Coffeehit came 2nd in Barista Champ too. I just wish she made more of the coffees at her cafe as I’m sometimes tempted to romp in there and jus make it myself instead!
Hey K
glad you enjoyed the day….it was great!
You should’ve come up and said HI!!!
Thanks for the comments and your interest, keep on caffeining on…
