Oh You Silly Coffee...

Posted by Bre on January 13, 2009 at 8:44am
A humbling experience was had by myself this past weekend. And though you may think that you a fairly cool as a cucumber, though a bit awkward, when you are making coffee under the pressure of time, judges, more judges in your grill, prestige, an audience, a microphone, a bright light, and one polyester shirt, it can have a very intense effect on you.I barely remember the 15 minutes. But I do remember the parts where I left a shot in the basket without starting it, the part where i forgot waters, the part where i forgot there was not a sink, the part where I totally knew my shots should have been pulled longer, the part where I apologize about everything, etc.But I had so much fun up there, and so much fun in Tacoma, and like I said, it was a very humbling experience. I have a lot to learn, but I always feel like I have a lot to learn, and not just about coffee.It was so good meeting everyone, and watching everyone perform, and so many of you were just wonderful.I hope to continue learning as much as I can all the time.
