In a joint venture with the World Barista Championship (WBC), Bellissimo has created a two-DVD set documenting the 8th Annual World Barista Championship (WBC) held in Tokyo, Japan July 31 to August 2, 2007. This DVD set is the first of its kind produced in the eight-year history of the WBC, and uniquely captures both the heart and mind of the exciting 2007 championship event.
The first DVD is a 50-minute overview of the WBC event that captures the heart of the competition. This documentary-style DVD includes interviews, local color shots and footage of many of the competitors in action. This DVD documents the full WBC experience and allows viewers to see and feel the excitement generated by this competition as well as to hear from the participants, attendees and coffee professionals from all over the world.
The second 100-minute DVD is a training tool that features the performances of the six finalists in their entirety, followed by the awards ceremony and a short interview with James Hoffmann of the UK, the 2007 WBC Champion. This DVD is perfect for baristas who dream about competing or bettering their skills and want to analyze every move these champions make.
This DVD features the six WBC finalists: * Anna Kaeppeli — Switzerland * Silvia Magalhaes — Brazil * Heather Perry — United States * Carl Sara — New Zealand * James Hoffmann — United Kingdom * Miyuki Miyamae — Japan
