London WBC 2010

Daterra brew bar, some really nice shots.

Here’s a little visual summary of my WBC trip. A picture tells a lot but I’ll also post some thoughts about the event later.

Trophys waiting for the finalists

Syphon doesn't get any better than this. Not even at Penny University.

Cannot miss this bag

The new La Marzocco Strada

World Aeropress Championship judges including Anette Moldvaer and TIm Wendelboe

Joona on his prep time. I would probably be that serious too if my competition were after Mike Philips'...

The legendary Flat White

Kaffeine, some nice Antipodean atmosphere & treats

David Schomer, check. He was pulling shots with Strada and somebody came by and asked if he was Scott Rao... David was a little pissed off, hilarious.

What could I do but just smile?

Steak & Kidney pie for lunch at Borough Market

The best shop in London?

Penny University

I was more or less disappointed with all the three coffees we tasted

Über Grinder

Prufrock Coffee. Very nice espressos pulled by some Swedish rock dude

Which one won the game?

The Bunn Trifecta. I wasn't enthralled with the coffee but with correct parametres I might rival the Clover.

Kees van der Westen's new machine a.k.a "Synesso killer"

Playing with Über Boiler

"Do you know what they call a Quarter Pounder in London?"

This guy really deserved his trophy, congrats Mike!

I snatched a bag of new Square Mile (well I did ask permission). Brewed with V60 and syphon at Tapped & Packed, my new favourite coffee place in London!
