I learned everything I know about coffee from a national champion in Iceland in 2007, since then I have been working with people who have been compeeting in barista cups in Iceland and worldwide. I have learned a lot from them and I talso trained woth them for a short period of time before the national barista cup in 2009 but I didn´t take part myself because of school.

To England would be my no 1 choice, but anywhere in Europe would be great too.
