 A great night was had at Danes HQ on March 23 at the official GBC Rocket Launch.
The night saw Danes new Ministry of Coffee packed out to get the first glimpse of the new GBC Rocket. Some fantastic demonstrations were able to be viewed and the night went off with a latte smack down at the end of the official proceedings.
We saw Lecio from Cafe La Bas take out top honours and bragging rights pouring a perfect symmetric Rossetta to knock out runner up Toby from Favourite things.
Check out the Facebook gallery and to see how the night went. |
