Full-swing, full-steam, full flip cam!
Hey Guys,
Dan from Dallis Bros Coffee here! The wheels are really moving now at the Northeast Regional Barista Competition. I’m here with the whole crew from Dallis Bros capturing the event in all its glory on a wonderful lil’ pocket cam, so look forward to lots of fantastic video.
But for now, a taste of things to come… as we move through the competition together, my team and I will try to bring the action front and center to you and to generations to come. We’ll be covering topics ranging from who’s who in the industry, fancy new toys that have all the baristas slobbering on their slim ties and some hot button issues bringing beads of sweat to the foreheads of the coolest of the cool.
Rest assured that if it’s newsworthy, we’ll have it to you. In the meantime, stick around with us for a while and we’ll try to show you a good time at NERBC!
Thanks everyone!
-Dallis Bros Crew
