Drinks will be crafted on the world-renowned Slayer espresso machine alongside other cutting edge technology. To experience the fruits of their labor, a limited number of $20 tickets will be issued to sample a flight of all five drinks. Partial proceeds will be donated to Coffee Kids, a non-profit organization that provides aid to coffee farming families all over the world.

The menu includes items such as the "Bexar" by Aaron Blanco of The Brown Coffee Co.which uses a base of mascarpone cheese with agave nectar folded into it, and freshly pressed blueberry juice over which a shot of espresso is poured. Neil Oney of Tamp Tamp, Inc. created the "Chocolate Pear Du Creme" which uses a hollowed Bartlett pear, lined with vahlrona chocolate.  On the inside lays a homemade hazelnut whipped cream, cooked pear puree, and espresso.  Other participants include Katie Cargulio of Counter Culture Coffee, Dan Streetman of Dallis Bros. Coffee and Erik Becker of RBC NYC.

In addition, RBC will be streaming the three-day World Barista Competition live on our flat screen TVs.  

RBC NYC is located at 71 Worth Street in Tribeca.
