I’m told via text message that our new US Barista Champion is Heather Perry from Coffee Klatch.
I had to leave yesterday, but my pictures thus far are here.
Highlights include:
-Meeting Gabriel Carvahlo Dias (producer of our Screen Dried Yellow Bourbon from Fazenda Cachoeira)
-Jay Caragay’s Quarter Finals Performance
-Jay’s Coffee and Cigarette specialty drink that he served at the BGA booth
-Kyle Larson’s Quarter Finals Performance where he had time to pour a shot for the El Injerto Farmers
-The Latte Art Smackdown at the Intelly Party
-Meeting a bunch of my Barista heros
-The shot Chris Baca pulled for me backstage on Sunday
-my 3 new tampers
That is all.

Sorry to post something as a non sequitur, but I’m trying to garner a bit of attention for a short film on Youtube: “Coffee” http://youtube.com/watch?v=rs1CMBFdGXM
Please give it a look, if you have five minutes.
