Not Coffee John!

Hi guys - i know this topic started out as 'off topic' but it's actually taken a turn to covering a substantive issue [ie barista comps] so have shifted it to 'have your say' cheers -A

Cheers NZ roaster ! I might also point out that all three place getters used Veneziano coffee. Thay are a switched on bunch, who also supported the practice of all competitors in the comp. with their machine at first pour (their in-house cafe). Let's hope the victorians bring it home this year again !

All were good, but I had a soft spot for Toshi's, he roasted his own at St. Ali and I really enjoyed it at the prelims. I have not had Rawandan (sp?) coffee before, it was part of his blend and had an almost peach tone to it. I guess that is a subjective comment though as there were coffees that scored higher. None the less, the quality was there in just about all of them, I won't say what I didn't like because I don't think it is fair. Carry on chaps!

They were all fantastic to watch, and it was really well put together. Justin has done a good job in keeping the actual event time moving well. But hey, how about some Kudos for Aaron Kindred? 16 yrs old in his first comp last year, and at 17 yrs old this year, was thrown in amongst the lions when having to compete against the likes of David and Erin, because the Tassie comp didn't happen, and he wasn't told until 4 days before that he would have to compete against all of Victoria. I reckon Azz is amazing for his age, and I'm proud of him. Wouldn't he be the youngest in the competition nationwide?

A good barista dosnt make mistakes. personally i hate getting bad coffee, i always take it back and explain whats wrong with the coffee (because they obviosly have no idea!) Then they usually make it again and its ok, but if its still bad i take it back to them again. I know i might seem like a meanie doing this but for 1 im paying for it and want my moneys worth but 2nd of all i hate it when these so called 'baristas' make a bad name for us.
