Yes the Finals are happening next week in Auckland at Hospitality NZ trade Show in Auckland starting Sunday. The Aussie Team - Dave Makin, Zoe Delaney, Justin Metcalf and Con Haralambopoulos have been practicing for weeks now so The New Zealand heat winners dont get one up on them again.
Emma has pulled the NZ team together into a lean barista team and has kept Carl, Chris and Louie away from the Poker table to make regular practice sessions.
We have a good Team of Aussie supporters travelling over for the event to cheer on the Champions.
hope to see some supporters come along and cheer for the New Zealanders they will need it.

Watch out Skippy's we are a team on fire, we have been practicing for months via live feed. It's a hell of a set up we got going on, prepare to be blown away by our prowess on the machine.

You can throw in the towel now if you want, there's no shame in it.
