Ta Ta Browne has come back down after her fine performance at the Vic heats so look out for her comp blend coming up on the BBB coffee list. Toby is back, thanks Ben B, and I hear big in Sumatra. I'm back, China is always a little larger than life, but Terry Davis thanks, and the Conference table, dude you rock....Cupping this weekend Bolivian CoE around 5 of the top 10. Where else are you going to get that.

A deluge of new offerings!
Tomorrow we will be putting them to test through the Clover, different parameters best to suit the origin. 10:30am

Great to have the team reunited again, its been a frantic and action packed last few weeks. Congratulations to Talor and rest of the competitors for last weekends impressive barista comp, it proved to be a tough encounter !

While the rest of Melbourne is drowning in Champagne with the Melbourne Cup, the Coffeegeek fraternity is drowning in caffeine. There is a little nervous energy around the traps, all that training and dedication for this weekend's comp.
So, while Toby is In Gajah Mountain, Sumatra picking, sorting and tasting,and Mark is in Hong Kong checking out Coffeefest, the rest of us will be front row and centre at the 2009 Vic Barista Comp. Hence no cupping this weekend, but next Saturday is sure to be a cracker....!

Check it out, CoE success No3
