Too Much Coffee

The first event!

16 places available, for you to pour head to head going through 4 rounds to become champion. Think Wimbledon, but more exciting.

One shot, one pour.

Draw announced at 7pm, with the first round starting at 7.30pm

Coffee will be provided from a neutral source. Pours will be judged by the crowd, but the MC’s decision is final.

Free beer for everyone. Spaces may be available on the night but you can book a guaranteed place to compete by buying a ticket via the blog.

Trash talk, costumes, own pitchers, silliness and amusement encouraged!

Tell your local barista!

wow.... that sounds amazing! Great idea.

why isn't everyone getting hyped about this.

GET HYPED!

I wish I could go

I'm HYPED, i want to go! did anyone invite tim westwood?

I'm not really sure what to expect though. As a spectator, should i bring anything? is there a secret knock to get in?

Making this a sticky. Any change of streaming it live then guys?

I don't know how I missed this until now...

...On second thoughts, i do - I've been helping my GF's dad choose a bike - and perhaps the Behmor has something to do with it

Anyway, I should be there, +1 - I need to introduce my GF to the madness. (Plus, it's always a good idea to go out with her, if going out mid-week - it increases my chance of getting home at a reasonable time)

THAT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!!!!

THAT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!!!!

Yes! Thank you Anette (and James too) for hosting the thing. An amazing night out / event / meet-up. And thank you to all the baristi who competed - inspirational!

Also, my significant other says to thank Bea and Cindy for the amazing cakes and marshmallow - and that the marshmallow is the best she has ever had. (And Maria really, really likes marshmallow).

Lastly - Lyndsey was fantastic; am i right, to think i heard someone say she's a home barista?

yes, must say thanks to everyone involved in organizing a very fun event, I didn't get chance to hang around on the night had to leave not long after the final pour. I think it was very fitting that the person in the mexican wrestling mask won in the end. (el griffo)
They could probably hear the cheers on the trains going overhead


I hope i can make it to the next one, nobody is letting on yet what it might be? I can't quite work out how this throwdown thing will work on something other than latte art? Maybe get out the extract mojo and see who can get closest to a 20% extraction?
I'm sure James and Anette have something fun in mind.
I really wish i had remembered my camera. I'm sure photos are going to pop up though.
