A two-day coffee-making championship, with the 17 best
baristas from Spain battling it out to be crowned the nation’s finest.
Each contestant had 16 minutes to prepare two pairs of
coffees, one pair of cappuccinos, one non-alcoholic combination and one
alcoholic combination. With over a 300-strong audience watching the entire
process.
200 professionals competed in nationwide events to earn a
place at this final, held in the impressive Palacio de Congresos, so they have
a right to be annoyed if the music’s too loud.
“Last year’s winner, who came from Asturias, was sent to
Uganda on holiday to learn how they produce coffee beans. This year the prize
is a week in Colombia.”
The judges are all experts from around Spain, many of whom
have previously competed in the event.
