London Latte Art Smackdown - #smackdown13 - Round Two
Two heats down now in the London Latte Art Smackdown and this week we had about 40 people crammed into Kaffeine to watch the second heat. It was a brilliant night, short, sharp and to the point. With three of the most qualified judges in industry in Andrew Tolley, Lena from Union and Glenn formerly of SCAE, it was a hard fought and very tight contest.
Once again though, it was two of the baristas from Curators who have made it into the final, Catherine (formerly of Kaffeine) and Thomas. Congratulations to both.
Next weeks competitors.
1. Benjamin from Terrone
2. Elyse and Miguel from Talkhouse
3. Kit and Barry from Dose
4. Shaun from Beanstalk (formerly of Kaffeine and 7th in the UK championships)
5. Matt all the way from Bath but we are not sure which cafe!
