The tales of an irish coffee professional. Sunday, May 28, 2006. World Latte Art Championship. World Latte Art Championship. Originally uploaded by American Barista and Coffee School. Found this on flickr today, if you don't recognise the cupalready, this is a pic of Arthur competing in the World Latte Art Competition. Nice shot I think. The rest of the photos are from the same flickr account (American Barista and Coffee School), and show Arthur competing in The World Coffee in Good Spirits Competition.

the flying thud: July 2006
http://flyingthud.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
The tales of an irish coffee professional. Saturday, July 29, 2006. Any good cafes out there? So I've had a lot of really bad shots recently. They were all relatively fresh, brewed by very fine barista's, and roasted by well respected roaster's. So why did they taste bad? Was one of the known variables out of sync? Were the barista's not focusing? So perhaps the machine wasn't performing on top form that day? Or the heat from my person affected the humidity in the room and knocked the extraction off?

The tales of an irish coffee professional. Friday, March 31, 2006. More at ease already. Had a good day today. Met up with my friend Brian, a chef, for some lunch and a few drinks. Through congested sniffles, I mentioned how I was frustrated with myself as I was suddenly having trouble in identifying flavour profiles and technical defects in the cup!

The tales of an irish coffee professional. Wednesday, September 27, 2006. I won the CBC! Not seriously, but well done to Colter on what I hear was a great performance. So that was the first comp with new rules, interesting to see the lower scores. No more 800's for a while then I guess. I judged both Colter and Barrett in the Western Canadian regionals and was equally impressed by both. Fair play guys, I'll hopefully see you in Tokyo. Posted by flyingthud @ 9/27/2006 09:20:00 pm. I do not blog enough.

the flying thud: April 2006

The tales of an irish coffee professional. Sunday, April 23, 2006. The monarchy and my brother. Sorry for the tardy blog keeping friends, but I have been busy entertaining my girlfriend, a full time if worthy job, in itself. We spent a weekend in Edinburgh which was beautiful but a tad lacking in the specialty coffee scene and also recently spent a night in the 4 seasons in Dublin. Do you care readers? Or how they store the beans? Or how fresh they are? Or whether they even use beans? Can we be sure?

The tales of an irish coffee professional. Tuesday, October 31, 2006. I'm just packing, and should be finishing an essay about interpretation of French music, but I found myself reading a news report on the flood in Ethipioa. In doing so, I saw a link to this article. Posted by flyingthud @ 10/31/2006 09:13:00 pm. Off to Trieste tomorrow for the apparently huge machine expo. I'll be working on the Espresso Warehouse. Stand which I think is sharing with Elektra. I get to meet up with old friends. I feel s...

The tales of an irish coffee professional. Thursday, August 31, 2006. Part 3 ,quickly nearing the end of this 'part' malarkey. Posted by flyingthud @ 8/31/2006 08:55:00 pm. On this visit, Victrola for me was a classy cafe, with good baristas but a boring blend. Too tough probably. Everyone else I went with though really enjoyed it and for most of them it was their favourite coffee in Seattle. Posted by flyingthud @ 8/31/2006 07:54:00 pm. Tuesday, August 08, 2006. But this seems unlikely. Any ideas?
