What better place to go first thing in the morning than
London’s Coffee Festival?
Everyone that knows me knows that I have a slight addiction
to coffee and that I plan to open my own coffee shop one day in the future, so
this was the perfect opportunity to do some research!Upon our
arrival to the festival we were greeted with a bag full of coffee loot (who
doesn’t love free stuff), from there we proceed to all the free samples (livin' la vida mochaaaaaaa).
The London Coffee Festival was so much more than just coffee samples. The overall vibe of the festival was amazing, there was live music with a funky fresh seating area.
The festival also offered expositions to educate people on coffee and what constitutes the "perfect" cup. The "lab" provided talks and tutorials on all things coffee, with different topics throughout the morning. The festival also hosted the UK Barista competition 2014. Since today was the last day of the festival we got to watch the finals! I never seen people take coffee as seriously as the final barista as well as the 8 people judging him, I couldn't help but laugh a bit.
By the end of
the morning I was vibrating (drinking a lot of coffee can cause a latte problems)
due to caffeine overload, but that didn't stop me from one last coffee...made by yours truly (barista in training).
But for now its back to the daily grind, but in the mean time stay grounded but don't forget to espresso yourself and take life one cup at a time (I'm done with the puns now...you're welcome).
