Hello all,
We have very very good news. Estelle Bright, our barista from Abergavenny in Wales is currently placed 7th out of the whole of the UK going into the semi finals for the UK Barista Championships. The semi finals will be held at the Hotelympia exhibition this coming Sunday, in front of a potential 2,000 people. If Estelle gets into the final six, she will compete on Monday the 1st March for the title of best in the UK, then represent the UK in the World Championships in June.
Estelle has put a lot of hard work into her competition this year, we have had three practice sessions with guest judges and audience and Estelle has been staying back most nights to practice, practice, practice.
The man who features in Kaffeine the movie, John Gordon, is currently placed 6th in the UK, will also be in the semi finals and also has a very, very good chance.
For Kaffeine to be connected to these two star baristas is humbling. We wish them all the very best.
