“Looking back and remembering my first year, I was very excited about the competition side of coffee - I found it such a fascinating concept. This year, I really wanted to bring back that fascination with coffee andits ability to create a sensory experience that brings a genuine connection between the barista and the coffeedrinker and ultimately an exceptional experience worth remembering.” - Anthony Douglas
