So. I came fourth. I wasn’t really how I performed with the coffee (there was nothing wrong with the coffee itself – the winner used the same!) but I had lots of fun competing. I know that preparing for competition is a great opportunity to learn¹ but I never imagined to learn so much. Huge congratulations to Lauri for winning. He works also at Kaffa and it will be very interesting to prepare him for the WBC. You can follow his blog training blog here.

Here are my scoresheets from the finals. One technical got missing but there wasn’t anything especially interesting in it. Some comments are in English, others in Finnish. I hope someone can learn at least something by reading them. There are lots and lots of silly small mistakes and failures that cost my a lot of points. I’m not going to analyse them here as I don’t think it’s any help for anyone. All the low scores I got I totally deserved, especially the signature. I had an ice cream that was a little too stiff and cold in the finals and didn’t mix into the drink. I think the judges were really good and did good job finding the one who did least mistakes.
