Congratulations to all the competitors, for a job well done! It was great to see the comraderie in the fact of all the intense competition. A special thanks to all the sponsors, for recognizing how important baristas are to the coffee industry. Without the coordinated efforts of sponsors, volunteers and suppliers, this coffee celebration event would not happen. Thanx…. LK
