Kenya Barista Champion Article
Nice article about John Muli, Kenya's barista champion. Would be amazing to have a competitor from an African country in the finals! I wish him the best of luck, quite a cool story.

From the Article:
April 3, 2009: From the lowest ranks in the hospitality industry, John Muli has defied the odds and risen to international recognition. Talk of any espresso-based coffee and he is your expert.
Mr Muli is the reigning National Barista champ. The coffee connoisseur is heralded as the first barista to win three consecutive competitions and the first Kenyan to position the country — famed for its coffee — on the world map.
