This year’s Barista of the Year (BOTY) Finals was a shining example of our Barista’s creativity and commitment to quality coffee, that impressed both the judges and attendees. Held at the beautiful Sirromet Winery’s Barrel Hall, the competition was a true celebration of coffee artistry.
Meet the finalists and their creations!
Each of our four finalists brought something special to the table. Let’s take a closer look at the standout drinks from this year’s competition:
- Rem created a delightful tribute to our Biscoff Cheesecake (available for a limited time only), blending cinnamon and caramel, with a sprinkle of chocolate flakes. This delicious combination left the judges craving more.
- Hannah brought the sunshine with her drink titled “This Moment.” A refreshing mix of homemade plum syrup and lemon iced tea, topped with a swirl of cream and bright lemon zest, it offered a sweet, tangy twist.
- Jess wowed everyone with her Pink Turkish Delight Latte, inspired by the classic Middle Eastern confection. With its vibrant pink colour and sweetness, this latte was both a visual and delicious – catching everyone’s attention.
- Kristy’s drink was a rich and indulgent Peanut Brittle Latte, topped with whipped cream and a crunchy sprinkle of peanuts. It was the perfect blend of sweet, salty, and nutty flavours. Her attention to detail and commitment to quality coffee made her drinks stand out and ultimately led to her well-deserved win!
And the winner is…
Kristy from North Lakes!! In addition to the well-earned title, Kristy received a Breville Coffee Machine valued at $849 and an exciting trip to Melbourne for a private roastery tour.
Cheers to Our Baristas!
We couldn’t be prouder of Rem, Jess, Hannah, and especially Kristy for their amazing achievements. This year’s BOTY Finals proved that with creativity and dedication, coffee can truly become an art form.
