We know we’ve been talking a lot lately about our fantastic baristas, but we can’t let this news pass without due comment.
Our coffee stars Liina and Nancy have BOTH made it through to the semi-finals of the United Kingdom Barista Championship.
For those not so well acquainted with the coffee world, this is truly some achievement. It’s the Champions League for baristas in the entire country, the true measure of talent. As the Speciality Coffee Association of Europe states, it tests your “coffee knowledge, presentation, preparation and all round barista ability”.
Liina (our Clevedon manager) and coffee trainer Nancy now go through to the semi-finals, to be held this Sunday.
So far as we know, this gives Coffee#1 more qualifiers than any other UK company – and that’s not including our former barista Estelle Bright, another semi-finalist. We are it seems something of a breeding ground for the UK’s best barista talent!
