Well with just 5 days to go until I strut my stuff on the stage for the open round of the Australian Barista Championships, I am starting to wonder if I am either too organized or something very vital has been forgotten. My grinder and equipment have all been sent on a pallet to Queensland, all we have to do is lug about 30kg of coffee up with us on the flight ( not quite as much as we took to Denmark for Dave's world gig).
After finishing second in the Victorian Comp, I'm really hoping to do a comfortable performance as I did on that day. I have some really exciting coffee and a couple of new tricks up my sleeve. It is going to be tough though, I think if I can get in the Semi's I would feel really relieved.
