Barista Championships To Be Held This Weekend
As one of the year’s Coffee Fests is held in New York this weekend, so is the Millrock Free Pour Latte Art Championships. This competition is held at each Coffee Fest (an event started in Seattle in 1992, and continuing yearly in several locations) and offers cash prizes to the first, second and third place baristas.
Judges are partitioned off from the audience and earmuffed–the only thing being judged is the appearance of the fresh espresso which has been so artistically crafted. The participants make the froth and foam on the inside of the coffee cup beautiful and distinctive, and hope for one of the awards, which range from $500 to $2,500.
Other events at this weekend’s Coffee Fest include exhibitors and a summit on coffee related issues. For coffee lovers, the Coffee Fest is a warmly welcomed event–samples, exhibits and freebies that are treasures to a coffee-loving soul. For coffee shop owners and baristas, it is a trade fair that updates businesses on the latest in the coffee market and coffee-making industry.
