Being a Barista



Sender: rothko
I learnt something new from rothko about the World Barista Championship where participating baristas compete in making espresso, a cappucino, and a special drink of their own creation. rothko went to the recent US Barista Championship at the Specialty Coffee Association of America Expo. The winner of the US championship will thereafter compete in the World Barista Championship, held this year in Bogota, Colombia (June 2-5, 2011). 

The card text states "The Colombian Coffee Federation and the Specialty Coffee Association of Colombia invites you to Bogota for the 11th Annual World Barista Championship, taking place for the first time in a major coffee producing country. We are privileged to show the world the magic of the coffees of Colombia and the wonderful people of our country."
