Comment by Will Corby on August 26, 2009 at 3:52am - 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!?

Comment by Gary Whiteley on April 4, 2008 at 11:38am - 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!

The whole pre-infusion thing is a little bit overrated imho. For instance on an E61 machine, you've already got pre-infusion by design. You're really not accomplishing a whole lot more by adding to it. Take for example the majority of La Spaziale Vi…

I like the idea of a hempuccino... doesn't have the buzz you're thinking of but somehow the vanilla hempmilk tastes great with sf gosh thats good chocolate powder and and bit of caramel sauce. Surprizing! It's the first coffee drink I've liked with…
no, we're using oregon chai. we used to use my chai before that...
Innovative or simple, all are welcome to advise, question and best of all create the beverages we all love to taste! Attach pictures and talk about your inspirations behind signature beverage building.
Awesome, this is all great feedback. I definitely dont mind paying a little extra for a reliable machine. After all i have no idea how to fix anything major that is wrong with it. Ive been useing a La Marzocco for the last 3 years, and its been pret…
