It’s that time of year again and I’m filled with a mixture of anticipation and self doubt. Competing this year will not feel as natural as it did last year, mainly because I don’t work as a barista anymore. It’s a strange situation to be in, having learnt so much in the last year, but [...]

Stephen Morrissey is the 2008 World Barista Champion, well done mate!
I remember chatting to Stephen at this years UKBC before he had competed in Ireland, we spoke about competition etc. and now he’s only gone and beat everyone!

Earlier I got a very excited phone call from Sarah, Hugo’s other half and the brains behind the WBC operation. Hugo came 10th overall which is a brilliant result and a credit to the UK and Cornwall. I sat down with a shot of his espresso blend earlier and I have to say: it’s a cracker! [...]

I’m back from Caffe Culture after some high and low points over the last few days.
High Point…

- #Internet masturbation it may be, but a google.co.uk of "drink blog" brings TWDB out at the top of the page. The same on google.com brings TWDB out second from the top.
- #Upgrading wordpress is nver as easy as it should be, this time it managed to log me out and made it impossible to get back in. For a moment I thought the blog was going to sit here like a vegetable forever.
- #Keep track of those noisy commenters and their opinions.
Fit in. Be like everyone else. Look at these...
