The Ultimate Barista Challenge is an action packed competition where baristi, someone who professionally prepares coffee, compete in a dueling stage of identical espresso stations to shake, not stir, their espresso cocktails, to prepare beautiful caffe latte art, blend espresso frappe and brew the best they have. Each barista has a tight 10 minutes to prepare drinks in each category and serve to a discerning professional tasting judges¹ panel comprised of coffee specialists, trainers, food writers, chefs or sommeliers before a live audience to win the right to challenge the reigning champion and in turn become “The Ultimate Barista.” (as taken from www.ultimatebaristachallenge.com)
I love the idea of having a barista show-down in the middle of a food service industry convention. I won’t be able to make it this year, but I wish all the best to those who will. Some of you had better take pictures, for crying out loud!
If you’re going to be in the area, it’ll definitely be worth checking out.
