London Latte Art Smackdown - #smackdown15 - Lead Up Part Two
So the London Latte Art Smackdown for 2015 enters it’s first week and we have amazing news in that the interest has been so high that we have been able to increase the entrants to 16 per heat, or 64 of London’s best (or most courageous) baristas. This of course means tat the total prize pool of cash increases to £640 plus the £200 from Allegra along with prizes from Coffee Hit and trophies and even more prizes from Square Mile.
Tomorrow night (Tuesday the 8th) at Eastcastle street we will have baristas from:
Kaffeine
Noble
Dose Espresso
Caracoli Cafe
Artisan
Attendant and
Taylor Street Baristas
Judging on the night will be World Coffee Judge and Taylor Street Baristas Director Andrew Tolley alongside Magda Grzelka who is head of Training at Taylor Street with lead Judge and coffee world legend Glenn Watson.
We will have beers available for cheap, plus some light snacks complimentary, so if you are competing or just watching and supporting your mates please come along and be there before 7:30 pm. Last time I looked, we had one space available tomorrow night, but we have maybe 8 spaces left over the next three weeks.
Any queries please do let us know by email, twitter or calling us direct, if you want to enter it’s easy, just come down to Eastcastle street and ask for the manager on duty, they will be gald to assist.
This is gong to be brilliant, can’t wait.
