Chris from Taf in Greece is here to offer his advice to the WLC competitors -- he knows his stuff: after all, Chris was the 2011 World Latte Art Champ!
Someday hopefully all the National Latte Art Champs and the National Coffee In Good Spirits Champs will be able to attend a pre-World Championship training event like DC Campus. For this event this weekend here in Milan, there are 25 who will learn and share from one another ”it’s going to be an amazing time! These are not only the reigning champs of their countries, but also some of the past champions who are here to assist the new ones.
Since I’ll be posting so many photos and blogs from this event over the next few days, I thought I would introduce you to each champ.
