Hi Everyone,

In an attempt to better prepare myself for the World Barista Championships, I am going to be doing some cupping sessions and full competition run throughs. Everyone is welcome and the more feedback and pressure applied the better.

Wednesday 28th May
3pm-5pm Cupping session Traditional and Espresso

Saturday 31st May
11am-12.30pm Cupping session Traditional and Espresso
1.30pm Full competition run through

Wednesday 4th June
3pm-5pm Cupping session Traditional and Espresso

Saturday 7th June
11am-12.30pm Cupping session Traditional and Espresso
1.30pm Full competition run through

Hope to see you there.
If anyone has any other feedback after viewing Victoria or Australian Finals feel free to send me an email.

Looking forward to doing the best I can in Copenhagen.

Dave.

David,

Congratulations and hope your training is going well.

I am at the European end of the world and with some luck around exams and commitments, I might be able to go to the WBC. I noticed there are a few early rounds + a final. Do you know which day you are competing?

Cheers.
