Let battle commence!
The wait is finally over and we can now reveal the exciting line-up for Coffee Masters NYC.
An incredible number of talented baristas from across the US and beyond submitted a one-minute signature drink video that demonstrated their passion, creativity, skill and personality – and it was no mean feat arriving at the final decision.
From established coffee champions to total competition newcomers, we have selected twenty baristas to compete in Coffee Masters NYC at the New York Coffee Festival in September.
