For those of you who don’t know what we do when we are at competitions I’ve included this photo of the stage at The World Latte Art Championships in Antwerp where Niamh represented her country in this massive auditorium. She did us proud, the tiny girl from Silverbridge on the huge (and very intimidating) world stage.
It was a great event and great experience for me in the workshop I was presenting and also to meet colleagues and experts from the world over. Australia won the latté art championship while the World of Coffee Cup Tasting championship was won by good friend Anette Moldvaar a regular visitor to these shores.
In Antwerp I met again a great guy called Rob who I had judged in the Belgian Barista Championship last year and who took me to see his shop “CoffeeNation” Antwerp is a beautiful and friendly city and his shop is outstanding Go Visit!
