Mastery is all about practice

Grab a sneak preview of our competing baristas practicing on Tuesday after I finally decided to close a little early. It’s almost here –2009 Mid-Atlantic Barista Competition and it’s happening right in Pittsburgh, Feb 6th-8th. We are finally getting our act together and putting in some quality practice time at Tazza D’Oro.

And the proof – great contrast in the cup, perfect micro-foam, perfect temperature, freaking delicious! Great job, guys. Stay tuned fans, it will be pretty much around the clock from here on out and ok with me – 36 espresso drinks on Tues and I’m still kicking. Need your sidewalks shoveled?

Kick butt and take no prisoners! Btw, since Melanie's already done it and both Luke and I are doing it this time, we'll be looking for Amy Enrico on center stage in 2010 for her 15 minutes of fame ;-)

Rich - Thank you, but I'm all good on 15 minutes of fame and have a line of baristas at Tazza D'Oro who are way better at their craft than I- I'm all about putting it together. Good luck to you and Luke! I will be cheering you guys on.
