Hi all I know- I know, The record was held by Poland with 3000+ coffee in 1 hour then....then a group of Aussie Barista from Brisbane pumped out 5000+ but this was not official. All the coffee shots on the day were monitored by the SCAE http://scae.com/ , there were representatives doing the rounds checking shots for quality, these guys had timers with them, that's how strict it was Good old OE got the thumbs up from the Marshall , I was quite shocked as I was pumping free pours for the whole hour. But honestly the shots were very good, so much so, I wanted to have one, specially when a 3 kilo bag of All press made its way to my team, but I did not dare.... There were six of us, I was doing shots, Sam Dunford a Barista (from Extractcoffee a company in Bath, had travelled for a few hours to take part) I had just met 10 minutes prior was loading with great technique, others were placing coffee on the table, others counting keeping track of coffee's etc. You might ask, why not pump coffee on your own?? well it was a team event, I would have loved to do it on my own! We ended the hour with 300+ mind you the Grinder was red hot after only half hour+ of heavy work, the 2 group La Marzocco held OK, but the set up was very poor. There is a very good shot of myself, viewing the set up for the first time..oh dear it tells you a lot, it was like walking into a dark room with your eyes closed...LOL. The Event was great, I was thinking??? If Australia get their act together and go for the record at the Aroma festival, Australia will hold the new record. Something to think about Admin? I will send you video soon but here are a few photos of the day.
