I was somewhat disappointed with a visit I made to a new account of ours. It seems that a vast amount of people do not clean their machines. Look at this grim picture, I’d scoured the bottom one for about 5 minutes (that one was the dirty one)

Why? Why do people do this?

Gwillym Davies

As some of you are aware the World Barista Championship starts tomorrow in Atlanta Georgia!

I’m going to wear my Flat cap solidly for the next 5 days! Gwilym Davies from London is representing us (the UK) this year. I’d like to take this opportunity to wish our wonderful ‘bearded house boat dweller’ the best of luck. Having met Gwilym on a couple of occasion when down visiting Mr Hoffmann at Square Mile and most recently competing against him down in Lewis I can tell you that he ‘is’ the one of the nicest guys in coffee.

Bring the World Barista Championship back with you Gwilym!

Who does everyone think will win? Is it Sammy’s year, can Mr Sara do it , will Gwilym come from nowhere or will the Scandinavians drag the championship back kicking and screaming?

Who am I

My name is Stuart Lee Archer and I'm a barista trainer and coffee enthusiast from Newcastle, England. I use this blog to document my thoughts, preparations for competition, record events throughout the year and just generally muse on coffee and espresso. (Mentness is an 'Old School' nickname)
