    Yeah, I'm looking forward to loads of great traning, great coffees and to check out some cool coffeehouses and roasteries. London: the industry-fair part of the week should be great, I liked WBC 2008 in CPH, but 2 years later on and being in London, I expect this year to be even better. London is also full of COOL coffeehouses so maybe stay another 1-2 days after...winning? ;-) anyway, Best of luck with your preperations: check out your competition: Emil got a Nouva Simonelli for J&N to train and a blog rolling:

    Hi Joona, stumbled across your photos in a macchiato discussion thread. They're gorgeous, do you make the drinks and take the photos all yourself?

     

    Cheers,

    Chase.
