Show highlights:
- News bits: Hurricanes, gas prices, Hines, Caffe Artigiano espresso, "Old Timers' Barista Competition" CANCELLED, CoffeeGeek Podcast vs. Portafilter Podcast.
- A complete, comprehensive, two-hour run-down of the barista competition (WBC/USBC) scoresheets, chock full of tips, secrets, and insights for the competition barista.
Please keep in mind, though we know of no other such endeavor that's attempted to really delve into the specifics of the barista competition scoring criteria, this is all just based on personal observations. Your results may vary.
Also, if you have NO INTEREST WHATSOEVER in barista competitions, then I recommend that once we start talking about them, you just stop listening. Don't say we didn't warn ya!

hey that was wicked, although I'm in New Zealand, we use much the same judging guidelines. Extremely helpful, I'm planning on entering the comps next year and wanted to know a bit more about just what was required.
