The Danes Gourmet Coffee Institute (DGCI) Grand Barista Championship (GBC) was held on Saturday 15 August 2009 at Manly Yacht Club.
There is nothing more enjoyable than a beautiful cup of coffee crafted by a passionate barista to make your day. It takes a level of knowledge, skill, creativity and experience to create a beautiful coffee. This year the Danes Grand Barista Championship changed the format to best present a professional barista’s skills and celebrate quality coffee.
Our hand selected judges and their palates will be some of the most highly respected coffee people in the industry. We have chosen the Orchestrale Etnica commercial espresso machine to conduct the championship on for its temperature stability and capability to consistently extract the essence of the coffees potential. Machines will be calibrated to run at 92 degrees Celsius at the head at 9 bar of pressure.
The 2009 GBC competing baristas presented the following coffee beverages for the judges.
4 x Espresso
Our new format is designed to profile and highlight the coffee through the careful and meticulous skill of the barista. The volume and time restrictions of the WBC have been removed to provide the barista with complete freedom to fully exploit the maximum flavour potential of the coffee. We believe that one of the most important parts of coffee making is consistency. Competitors will be judged on the coffees flavour and consistent brewing time and volume.
4 x Milk Coffees
What amount of milk compliments your extraction? You don’t have to serve a cappuccino with a certain level of froth. Just produce a beautiful balance of espresso base and textured milk that you as the barista desires.
4 x Latte Art Coffees
When you see a barista pour a beautiful design on top of your coffee you know they have experience, skill, and a genuine passion for their craft. This section of the competition will show off the barista’s skill and passion. This will not be judged on taste. The competitor can present their artwork in any vessel with each pattern to be the same.
There will be no signature beverage to take away from the focus of “the coffee”. Coffee is the most chemically complex food product on the planet in terms of flavour and aroma. Why try and add anything to it?
The Danes Grand Barista Championship is for the barista and the coffee. Each competitor has twelve minutes to complete their presentation. Our new format has the barista training for their presentation right now as they work in their cafe perfecting their skills and honing their technique. We look forward to the next championship and the baristas who will come to test their skills in Australia's premier barista competition.
