An Aussie barista travelling the world to learn, experience and grow in my understanding of coffee and the way the world sees coffee. From 22nd March to the end of April I am visiting Copenhagen, Helsingborg, Oslo, Amsterdam, Eindhoven and Kees van der Westen, London, Chicago, Toronto, Los Angeles, Anaheim and SCAA, Singapore and the Asia Barista Championship and Sumatran coffee farms.
I am very grateful that this trip has been made possible by the team at Belaroma Coffee where I work and my friends at Pure Via
Tim Wendelboe, Tim Varney, Tim Styles and Scottim in Oslo (it just didn't make sense having 3 Tim's and a Scott so I had to become a Tim) and I must say if you want to see some considerably better photos than mine click on the Tim Varney link above.
This is Tim Wendelboe's (2004 World Barista Champion and 2005 World Cup Tasting Champion) shop where he has 2 roasters a bar and lots of coffee for retail, I've gotta say this shop is an absolutely gorgeous fit out.
When I arrived on Saturday Tim W lined up a cupping for us with some of his coffee and some coffee from Square Mile
This is one of the best ways to display a menu that I have seen, a large roll of brown paper hung on the wall and roll it down with some weights, whenever you want to change it just cut off and start again.
Tim W's great QA/training room with a Gs3 single group FB 70, small sample roaster, cupping bench all in such a small room, it is a great use of space.
The amazing Oslo Opera House
