Well as you said in your tweet the other day and as I am sure hundreds of baristas across the UK are thinking...its time to start prep for the UKBC Heats, whats everybody thinking? I've fallen in love with the Machacamarca, but not sure if its been 'over use' in competition already!?

Heh All,

I think BX would be a great place to keep everyone informed on bits and bobs for the 2009 UKBC - so with this in mind - get inviting people! We need to big up the UK group here!!

Just got my confirmation through for my trip to Copenhagen in June to watch the WBC. Really quite excited now, will be wonderful to have the opportunity to watch some of the best barista's in the world do their thing. Anyhows was just wondering if anyone else had plans to go? If so was thinking of a little gathering of minds to talk about the coffee industry we work in in the uk, exchange ideas and most importantly of all drink beer!

We're moving our coffee operation into a much smaller space, and I'm considering pre-grinding a small amount of decaf at the beginning of the day (maybe using the Bunn drip grinder set on "espresso") and keeping it in a small Cambro container by the…

I actually meant to post the above reply ^^ in the discussion entitled "Best commercial espresso machine", but I suppose it could be relevant here as well. Still getting used to this forum's layout! :p

+1!! Absolutely quoted for truth!!! There are a lot of shops and serious home baristas out there who'll have something like a Linea or GS3 mated with a Mazzer Major. Having had both a commercial flat burr grinder and now a conical one, I think the…
