After over a year of filming,
Bellissimo has brought together--in one DVD--some of the best baristas not only in the United States, but in the world. In this training and educational DVD, which is approximately
45-minutes, each barista shares his or her
techniques and philosophy of coffee and espresso, as well as what it
takes to be a champion.
This training DVD is the first in which
regional, national and world barista champions share their passion
one-on-one with the coffee world. Featured are 2006 World Barista
Champion (WBC) Klaus Thomsen and three former United States Barista
Champions (USBC): Matt Riddle, Bronwen Serna and Phuong Tran. Northwest
USBC champions Kyle Larson and Billy Wilson are also included, along
with Cup of Excellence judge Stephen Vick, who is featured in a special
cupping section. Making appearances are long-time barista competition
judges Sarah Allen, editor of Barista Magazine, and Brent Fortune,
owner of Crema Bakery and Cafe of Portland, Oregon.
